Abstract Introduction The Le Fort I osteotomy is a surgical procedure planned by joint orthognathic team aiming to correct skeletal discrepancies of the maxilla, with subsequent soft tissue profile changes patient. We undertook retrospective case series analysis patients receiving surgery at UK teaching hospital over last four years assess accuracy movements, comparing actual maxillary movement...

This case report aimed to present the course of surgically combined comprehensive orthodontic treatment a male adult with cleft lip and palate, showing left alveolar cleft, lateral deviation major segment maxilla, palatal transposition incisor. Preoperatively, midline upper central incisors was shifted by 7.0 mm right, right incisor showed transposition, residual 6.5 mm. Segmental Le Fort I ost...

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a very effective reconstructive procedure for treatment of acetabular dysplasia. An orthopaedic paediatric surgeon and a reconstructive hip arthroplasty surgeon performed this procedure together in the early phase of their learning curve and then performed it individually. The early clinical and radiographic results of 85 consecutive PAOs performed in this acad...

PURPOSE To detail our early experience using concomitant hip arthroscopy and periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for the treatment of acetabular dysplasia. METHODS We prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed the surgical and outcome data of 17 patients who underwent concomitant hip arthroscopy and PAO between October 2010 and July 2013. Preoperative and postoperative range of motion, o...

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a complex surgical procedure to restore acetabular coverage in the dysplastic hip, and the amount of acetabular rotation during PAO plays a key role. Using computational simulations, this study assessed the optimal direction and amount of the acetabular rotation in three dimensions for a patient undergoing PAO. Anatomy-specific finite element (FE) models of the...

BACKGROUND Supramalleolar osteotomy (SMOT) is a well-accepted treatment method for mid-stage varus ankle osteoarthritis (OA). However, few studies have examined the role of fibular osteotomy in SMOT. The objective of the current study was to compare the biomechanical and clinical outcomes of SMOT with and without fibular osteotomy. METHODS Eight cadaveric lower legs with 10° varus/valgus SMOT...
