Knee Arthrodesis in Severe Injured Knee Joints
In this report we present our experiences with knee arthrodesis nails as a secondary salvage procedure after severe knee injuries at a level-one trauma centre. Exemplary two cases of subtotal amputation are discussed. Both cases, of totally destroyed knee joints, were treated with a unilateral external fixator, shortening and secondary bifocal distraction osteogenesis. In one case nailing after...
متن کاملRevision of Failed Midfoot Arthrodesis in Charcot Arthropathy
particularly in patients for whom instability and the potential for nonunion are increased (e.g., in those with neuropathy. There are current fixation options such as custom anatomically designed midfoot plates which provide stability as well as locking and compression capacity (Maxlock, Orthohelix, Akron OH, and DePuy, Warsaw IN). A novel alternative for fixation is using an intramedullary sys...
متن کاملWrist Arthrodesis with Minimal Fixation Preserving the Carpometacarpal Joints
OBJECTIVE Wrist arthrodesis is a surgical procedure that should always be considered in cases of pathological conditions in which anatomical and functional structures are altered. In general, the results are very satisfactory, particularly for pain relief, and in the majority of cases, there is considerable functional improvement. Various techniques have been described, with different methods o...
متن کاملComparison of Arthrodesis with Total Contact Casting for Midfoot Ulcerations Associated with Charcot Neuroarthropathy
BACKGROUND Gross deformity of the foot in Charcot neuroarthropathy can lead to foot collapse and subsequent ulceration, infection, amputation, or premature death. Total-contact casting (TCC) is a well-established treatment for neuropathic diabetic plantar foot ulcers. It was hypothesized that arthrodesis plus TCC may have advantages over TCC alone. This pilot study compared the effectiveness of...
متن کاملThe role of an extended medial column arthrodesis for Charcot midfoot neuroarthropathy
The etiology of diabetic Charcot neuroarthropathy involving the midfoot often includes an inciting traumatic event or repetitive micro-trauma from an uncompensated biomechanical imbalance that potentiates an incompletely understood pathway leading to a rocker-bottom foot deformity and ulceration. In the setting of a severe Charcot foot fracture and/or dislocation with obvious osseous instabilit...
