Preoperative three-dimensional planning methods have been described extensively. However, transferring the virtual plan to the patient is often challenging. In this report, we describe the management of a severely malunited distal radius fracture using a patient-specific plate for accurate spatial positioning and fixation. Twenty months postoperatively the patient shows almost painless reconstr...

Kuntscher cloverleaf nail, also called as K-nail, is an intramedullary nail (IMN), made from stainless steel with a slot along the longitudinal axis. It used in fixation of short oblique, simple transverse, Winquist- I and II comminuted fractures femur. This was case which spontaneously migrated distally, extruded completely femur into leg posterior aspect till ankle most probable cause being m...

Background: Malunion distal radius involving shortening of the may result in disruption radioulnar joint, chronic pain, loss both supination and pronation, cosmetic deformity. Shortening often accompanies dorsal angulation, a relatively positive ulna variance is produced. With malunion caused by extra-articular fractures, pain develop joint secondary to abnormal stresses resulting from radial o...

Hip arthroplasty after open reduction and internal fixation of the proximal femur presents a challenge to reconstructive surgeons. Bony defects, fracture malunion, and non-union increase the risk of complications, including intraoperative fracture, unrecognized perforation, and trochanteric non-union. The authors describe a novel surgical technique using conversion hemiarthroplasty and valgus o...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Distal forearm fractures in children have excellent remodeling potential. The current literature states that 15° is the maximum acceptable angulation limit, though studies focusing on remodeling capacity above this value are lacking. We present data on the remodeling process in children with distal radius malunions with an angulation of ≥ 15°. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retro...

Anatomic reduction and fixation of unstable ankle fractures is necessary to prevent posttraumatic arthritis. Malunion of the distal fibula in unstable ankle fractures may lead to progressive talar instability. Ankle fracture malunions often present with concomitant syndesmotic widening, which can cause surgeons to overlook changes in fibula length and rotation. The decision to proceed with surg...
