BACKGROUND Corrective osteotomy for malunited diaphyseal forearm fractures remains a challenging procedure. We developed a computer-assisted system for corrective surgery, including a three-dimensional simulation program and a custom-made osteotomy template, and investigated the results of corrective surgery for malunited diaphyseal forearm fractures with use of this technology. METHODS Twent...

This case report describes the surgical management of a severe congenital deformity in Shetland pony. A two-week-old foal was presented with right hind limb showing 90-degree torsion tarsal region towards medial side and metatarsophalangeal joint forced extension behind tarsus. As assessed through radiography, tibial malleoli trochlea talus were poorly developed, flexor tendons inserted topogra...

Thirteen patients with malunited fractures of the distal radius developed symptoms of pain and instability of the midcarpal joint. In six cases, a recurrent voluntary midcarpal subluxation was also present during ulnar deviation. These symptoms were first noticed several weeks, and at times several months, after all immobilization for the treatment of the original fracture had been discontinued...

BACKGROUND Malunion is the most common complication of distal radius fracture. It has previously been demonstrated that there is a correlation between the quality of anatomical correction and overall wrist function. However, surgical correction can be difficult because of the often complex anatomy associated with this condition. Computer assisted surgical planning, combined with patient-specifi...

Background: Sagittal imbalance is known as the main radiographic driver of disability in adult spinal deformity (ASD).In this study, the association of radiological spinopelvic parameters and clinical outcomes was evaluated following thecorrective surgery of sagittal imbalance, in order to explore the predictive ability of each parameter.Methods: A total of 23 patients, who underwent corrective...

Abstract Aim In knee replacements, restoration of mechanical alignment is essential. Patients with extra-articular deformities (EAD) pose challenges in planning replacements. We present a method, based on our experience and review literature replacement surgery, the presence coronal plane deformity tibia. Method Retrospective analysis was made six patients EAD tibia who underwent at centre. Mec...

condylar dislocation is not an uncommon condition and occurs when the condyles are displaced anterior to the articular eminence and are unable to reduce back into the glenoid fossa. long-standing dislocations are difficult to treat with the conservative methods and usually need surgical intervention. in this paper, a long-standing dislocation treated by bilateral extra-oral ramus osteotomy is d...
