The purpose is to identify whether the position of the tibial component in relation to the anatomical axis affects the postoperative mechanical axis in total knee arthroplasty for Korean patients. Preoperatively, 30 patients with varus deformity lesser than 10° were classified as group A, and 30 patients greater than 10° were classified as group B. Postoperatively, the distance between the midl...

proximal segement of left upper limb with varus deformity and limited movement of left elbow joint. Investigations revealed normal hemogram, liver function tests, kidney function tests, serum electrolytes and ultrasound skull. Ultrasound abdomen showed small right kidney with normal echotexture. X-ray of the baby showed micrognathia, hypoplastic left humerus, bilateral femoral hypoplasia, varia...

Congenital tibial absence is a rare anomaly causing shortening and varus deformity of the lower extremity. It may present as an isolated anomaly or be associated with a variety of skeletal and extra skeletal malformations. We describe a newborn baby with congenital ab-sence of right tibia (type 2) and Patent ductus arteriosus.

Observed gait abnormalities are often related to a variety of foot deformities such as the cavus foot, also known as pes cavus, cavovarus, uncompensated varus, and the high arched foot. When gait abnormalities related to cavus foot deformities produce symptoms or contribute to dysfunctional movement of the lower extremity, foot orthotics are commonly used to accommodate the deformity and optimi...

INTRODUCTION Neglected case of nonunion of fracture both bones forearm with deformity is very difficult to manage. Treatment options are minimal. Identifying such a case in literature is also very rare. One such rare case is discussed here. CASE REPORT Here, we present a case of a 65-year-old male patient, who was operated 15 years back for fracture both bones forearm, with 3.5 mm dynamic com...

The results of fifty-one Manchester knee arthroplasties in forty-one patients are reviewed and discussed. Excellent and good results were obtained in 85.4 per cent of arthroplasties. Varus and valgus deformity can be corrected and stability preserved or restored. Complications occurred in only twelve patients but resolved in all except one.

INTRODUCTION Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is a rare condition of unknown etiology defined by sudden episode of hypotension, high hematocrit, and low serum protein concentration due to capillary hyperpermeability. Several treatments have been published for this pathology and eventual compartment syndrome but not for the disabling consequences. This clinical case highlights the negativ...

PURPOSE To histologically evaluate the quality of articular cartilage regeneration from the medial compartment after arthroscopic subchondral drilling followed by postoperative intra-articular injections of autologous peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) and hyaluronic acid with concomitant medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) in patients with varus deformity of the knee joint. METHOD...

Clubfoot is defined as fixation of the foot in adduction, supination and varus. It is a deformity where the foot points downward with the toes and sole twisted inwards. Three bones the calcaneus, navicular, cuboid are medially rotated in relation to the talus. Idiopathic clubfoot is the commonest congenital deformity of foot. 1 The incidence is about 1:1000 live births with a sex ratio of 2:1sh...

PURPOSE To identify the effects of using a Ti-Ni shape memory alloy ring shaped bone fixator (SMA-rBF) during the retrograde nailing of supracondylar femoral fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS The authors reviewed 25 patients with a supracondylar femoral fracture treated by retrograde intramedullary nailing with or without SMA-rBF (group S, 12/25; group N, 13/25). Radiological measurements of a...
