This study was conducted to assess the safety of humeral lengthening using an Ilizarov frame. We retrospectively reviewed 26 humeral segments in 17 patients that were lengthened at our department between 1993 and 2011. There were varying aetiologies including achondroplasia, epiphyseal dysplasia, Oilier disease, trauma or infection of the proximal humeral growth-plate, unicameral bone cyst and ...

The central nervous system employs different strategies to execute specific motor tasks. Because afferent feedback during shortening and lengthening muscle contractions differs, the neural strategy underlying these tasks may be quite distinct. Cortical drive may be adjusted or afferent input regulated. The exact mechanisms are not clear. Here, we examine the control of synaptic transmission acr...

Background and purpose - Many methods of gastrocnemius lengthening have been described, with different surgical challenges, outcomes, and risks to the sural nerve. Our aims were (1) to locate the gastrocnemius muscular-tendinous junction in relation to the mid-length of the fibula (from here on designated the mid-fibula), (2) to compare the dorsiflexion achieved with dorsal recession or ventral...

PurposeThe spaceflight-associated neuro–ocular syndrome (SANS) affects astronauts on missions to the International Space Station (ISS). The SANS has blurred vision and ocular changes as typical features. objective of this study was investigate if microgravity can create deformations or movements eye optic nerve, such could be linked SANS.DesignCohort study.ParticipantsTwenty-two (age 48 ± 4 yea...

INTRODUCTION Ilizarov principles and hybrid fixation have improved the results of humeral lengthening. We reviewed the literature on humeral lengthening using different fixators with regard to indications, operative technique, results and complications. We also retrospectively reviewed 56 segments in 46 patients treated with humeral lengthening and deformity correction using Ilizarov external f...

Abstract Background Common peroneal nerve (CPN) palsy after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a rare complication with poor functional outcome and has prevalence of 0.3-2.1%. Case Presentation A 77-year-old gentleman was diagnosed severe osteoarthritis the left underwent hybrid replacement via posterior approach in right-lateral position. There no usage spinal anaesthesia, leakage from wo...

We assessed peripheral nerve function during and after lower-limb lengthening by callotasis in 14 patients with short stature, using motor conduction studies. Four patients with short stature of varying aetiology showed unilateral and one showed bilateral weakness of foot dorsiflexion. Both clinical and electrophysiological abnormalities consistent with involvement of the peroneal nerve were ob...

the development and widespread use of a prophylactic vaccine significantly reduced the incidence of poliomyelitis. at present we more commonly encounter with poliomyelitis sequelae especially in developing countries. we evaluate the results of a modified innominate osteotomy for leg length discrepancy in poliomyelitis. instead of triangular bone graft as in salter’s innominate osteotomy , a tra...
