Adults with spinal deformity (ASD) are known to have postural malalignment affecting their quality of life. Classical evaluation and follow-up usually based on full-body static radiographs health related life questionnaires. Despite being an essential daily activity, formal gait assessment lacks in clinical practice. What the main alterations kinematics ASD radiological determinants? 52 63 cont...

While options for operative treatment of leg axis varus malalignment in patients with medial gonarthrosis include several established procedures, such as unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), total knee arthroplasty (TKA), or high tibial osteotomy (HTO), so far there has been little focus on a less invasive option introduced more recently: the UniSpacer™ implant, a modern, self-centering, m...

Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of suprapatellar (SP)-nailing versus infrapatellar (IP)-nailing tibia fractures in anterior knee pain, complications (retropatellar chondropathy, infection, and malalignment) physical functioning quality life. A clinical question-driven thorough systematic review current literature is provided. Data source: PubMed Embase databases were searched for studie...

We report on three cases of subtrochanteric femoral fractures during trochanteric intramedullary nailing for the treatment of femoral shaft fractures. Trochanteric intramedullary nails, which have a proximal lateral bend, are specifically designed for trochanteric insertion. When combined with the modified insertion technique, trochanteric intramedullary nails reduce iatrogenic fracture comminu...

BACKGROUND Successful total knee replacement (TKR) requires accurate component placement and coronal plane malalignment of greater than 3o varus/valgus from the mechanical axis has been shown to predispose to early failure.1–3 An extramedullary alignment jig is most commonly used to identify the mechanical axis. The distal end of the jig should be centred over the ankle mortise, which can be di...

We studied the ossific nuclei on radiographs of the feet of three stillborn infants, two with club feet, relating the size, position and alignment of each nucleus to the cartilaginous talus or calcaneum in which it lay. Anteroposterior projections of the nucleus of the talus show deformity of that bone as well as subtalar malalignment. Lateral projections of the calcaneal nucleus may underestim...

A 5-year-old boy with anatomically corrected malposition of the great arteries (Van Praah's {S, D, L} arrangement type) associated with ventricular septal defect (malalignment conus type) and pulmonary stenosis underwent a biventricular repair. Subpulmonary stenosis was repaired by muscle resection of narrowing muscular subpulmonary conus through the right ventricle. The postoperative catheteri...
