the ponseti method is a safe and effective treatment for congenital clubfoot, and radically decreases the need for extensive corrective surgery. but a group of patients will still present with under corrected residual equinovarus deformities despite the proper use of the ponseti method. about 25% of operated clubfeet will develop recurrence or show a marked residual deformity (recurrent clubfoo...

lip pits are among the rarest congenital deformities recorded. initially reported in 1845, it’s familial occurrence has been reported just once. these developmental anomalies occur either as an isolated defect or in association with other developmental deformities including cleft lip, cleft palate or both. it may be located at the commisures of the lips or in the midline of the lower lip. it is...

OBJECTIVE To describe how severe ear deformities after otoplasty can be corrected. METHODS The correction of creases is possible through readaptation of the cartilage edges followed by revision otoplasty using suture techniques in the reconstructed cartilage. In the case of defect formation or extreme thinning of the cartilage, an appealing auricular shape is achieved by the use of porous pol...

Understandably describe historical and current spinal deformity classifications. Spinal deformities can be divided into three main categories: congenital, idiopathic, secondary deformities. Secondary is by far the largest group. Congenital are generally seen in very early ages may accompanied neural with systemic organ pathologies. Different classification systems based on clinical radiological...

A retrospective study that was undertaken to determine why more infants had been born with congenital reduction deformities of the limbs is reported. The increase was detected by the Congenital Anomaly Surveillance System in 1969. Ninety-three infants born in Alberta and British Columbia in 1969-71 with congenital reduction deformities were matched with 93 normal infants and 93 infants with con...

Among the congenital otocephalic syndromes, the term "first and second branchial arch syndrome" designates, in the United States, a characteristic congenital malformation which is usually unilateral but occasionally bilateral. In the German literature, the deformity has been termed "dysostosis otomandibularis". Caronni (1971) has coined the term "auriculobranchiogenic dysplasia". Stark and Saun...

: One of the most prevalent congenital deformities in infants is heart disease (CHD) that has high rates morbidity and mortality. To enhance patient clinical outcomes, it vital to investigate CHD pathophysiology. Cardiovascular illness been linked TGF-1 signaling disruptions.

Limb deformities in foals can be subdivided into two major groups: 1) angular limb deformities, in which there is deviation, primarily in the frontal plane, originating at a joint and/or growth plate; and 2) flexural limb deformities, in which there is persistent hyperflexion or hyperextension of the limb. These conditions are generally categorized under the umbrella term of developmental ortho...
