Congenital femoral deficiency (CFD) is often associated with cruciate ligament deficiency. The lateral scanogram may be a potential solution to some limitations for detecting instability This qualitative case study identified two children congenital who were assessed and had their results correlated the clinical examination MRI. Both cases child deficiency, one total leg length discrepancy (LLD...

Overgrowth syndromes generally present with inherent health concerns and, in some instances, an increased risk of malignant intra-abdominal tumors, such as Wilms tumor or hepatoblastoma. There are various types hyperplasia, but the crossed type is reported to be rarest. We a rare, congenital hemihyperplasia. A six-year-old girl was referred our clinic for leg length discrepancy and diagnosed he...

Neglected traumatic posterior hip dislocation is not an uncommon condition seen in developing countries. Its treatment is fraught with great difficulties and controversies. Here we present a 31-year-old female patient presented to our hospital 2 years after sustaining an accident. She had gone through multiple treatments for her dislocated hip without any success. After arrival to our hospital,...

Knowledge of the normal length and skeletal proportions lower limb is required as part evaluation discrepancy. When measuring length, modern standing full-length digital radiographs confer a level clinical accuracy interchangeable with that CT imaging. This study reports set normative values for using 753 patients (61% male). Lower femoral tibial femorotibial ratio were measured in 1077 limbs. ...

In daily clinical practice most orthopedic surgeons suffer from doubt about treatment of rare injuries. The aim of this study is to enlighten the management of birth related femoral subtrochanteric fractures of neonates. Four birth-related femoral subtrochanteric fractures of neonates were treated and followed up. Difficult caesarian breech delivery seems to be a risk factor. All patients were ...

Femur lengthening for correction of limb length discrepancy in a child with neurological defect (hemiparesis) was showed in the paper. In this case we used distraction osteosynthesis method by Ilizarov (external fixator) with elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) method. Lengthening rate was 0.95 mm/day (total 3.5 cm), healing index was 34 days/cm. After 6 month of our treatment patient ...

Peripheral limb ischaemia is rare in children. We have treated only 12 infants and children with this condition in the past 15 years at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow. There were nine neonates and three older children. Most were suffering from life-threatening illnesses or severe infection. Two were born with ischaemic arms with no apparent cause. We have analysed the factors l...

Osteosarcoma is the most common bone sarcoma in children and adolescents. It occurs mainly around the knee joint; the distal femur is the most common location. When it occurs in children who are skeletally immature, a significant limb length discrepancy can occur. The Repiphysis prosthesis was developed in the 1980s to assist in reconstruction of the affected limb in these patients. Ten article...
