The role of the small AO external fixator in supracondylar rotational femoral osteotomies.
Torsional problems of the femur have been traditionally treated by a proximal osteotomy with internal fixation. We elected to perform femoral derotational osteotomies distally. Between September 1994 and April 2001, supracondylar osteotomies were performed on 38 femora in 21 children with torsional and angular deformities. The average age was 9 years (range 5-15 years). Twenty-three femora had ...
متن کاملRotational osteotomies for congenital radioulnar synostosis.
In five children, six forearms with a fixed pronation deformity secondary to congenital radioulnar synostosis were treated by a derotation osteotomy of the distal radius and the midshaft of the ulna. There were three boys and two girls with a mean age of 4.9 years (3.5 to 8.25) who were followed up for a mean of 29 months (18 to 43). The position of the forearm was improved from a mean pronatio...
متن کاملFemoral osteotomies for the valgus knee
Lower limb alignment is an important contributing factor to the development of knee arthritis, and it is related to the articular cartilage wear pattern (1). Osteotomies around the knee are a well-recognized treatment for symptomatic unicompartmental knee arthritis associated to lower limb malalignment in young and active patients, with the attempt to preserve the native knee joint and delay kn...
متن کاملCorrelation between the distal anterior femoral cortical axis and femoral rotational alignment: an anatomic study.
PURPOSE To determine the correlation between the distal anterior femoral cortical axis (DAFCA) and the femoral rotational alignment/axis. METHODS Magnetic resonance images (MRI) of 82 knees in 34 men and 23 women aged 16 to 47 (mean, 33.4) years were reviewed by a musculoskeletal radiologist. Their diagnoses included meniscal tear (n=4), chondromalacia (n=25), anterior cruciate ligament tears...
متن کاملDistal femoral rotational axes in Indian knees.
PURPOSE To measure the angular relationships of distal femoral rotational axes in 100 normal Indian knees. METHODS 42 men and 8 women aged 26 to 40 (mean, 31) years, with 100 normal non-arthritic knees were recruited. Anatomic landmarks were measured using computed tomography. They included the posterior condylar axis, the transepicondylar axis, the anteroposterior axis (Whiteside's line), th...
