Corrective Tibial Osteotomy in Young Adults Using an Intramedullary Nail
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to document results of a less invasive technique of open wedge proximal tibial osteotomy (PTO) for the varus knee in young adults using an intramedullary tibial nail. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively studied 24 knees in 16 young patients with varus knee deformity. The mean follow-up was 54 months (range, 36 to 107 months) and the mean age of patient...
متن کاملTibial rotational osteotomy with intramedullary nail fixation
There are several theoretic advantages of using intramedullary rod fixation for tibial osteotomy fixation. We performed a retrospective review of patients who were treated with a mid-diaphyseal osteotomy of the tibia fixed with an intramedullary rod for isolated, symptomatic tibial torsion. Forty patients (59 tibias) were included in the study and were followed for a minimum of 12 months or unt...
متن کاملTibial lengthening over an intramedullary nail.
BACKGROUND Long-term application of an external fixator to treat leg-length discrepancy and short stature often causes complications, such as pin-tract infection or loss of range of motion at the knee or ankle (or both). Prolonged fixator use also interferes with the activities of daily living. To minimize such problems, we have combined intramedullary nailing with external fixation. Using this...
متن کاملDesign of a new tibial intramedullary nail
Aim of this work is designing a new intramedullary nail able to reduce the drawbacks of the distal locking, ensuring the axial stability, so enabling a speedy recovery of the fracture and a time-reduced immobilization of the limb. During the first phases of the design process, the parametric CAD model has been carried out and, successively, several numerical analyses have been set up to verify ...
متن کاملComparison of a new braid fixation system to an interlocking intramedullary nail for tibial osteotomy repair in an ovine model.
OBJECTIVES To compare bone healing of tibial osteotomy repaired with Nitinol wire braid and hardened steel rods (Braid system) and polymethylmethacrylate bone cement with an interlocking intramedullary (IM) nail fixation in an ovine model. STUDY DESIGN In vitro and in vivo experimental study. ANIMALS Adult female sheep (n=22). METHODS Using sheep tibia, a middiaphyseal transverse osteotom...
