Recovery of function after closed femoral shortening.
This prospective, longitudinal study documents the muscle strength and baseline function of 18 patients undergoing closed femoral shortening for discrepancy in limb length. Patients were studied for two years following surgery. Function was measured by a self-reported questionnaire, timed tests of performance and measurements of muscle strength and power. After two years, the self-reported func...
متن کاملShortening After Femoral Neck Fracture Fixation
When using parallel screws for treatment of femoral neck fractures, shortening of the femoral neck might occur. Given the high revision surgery rates associated with parallel screws, we developed a questionnaire to explore (1) surgeons’ viewpoints on difficulties in the fixation of femoral neck fractures, (2) their perception of the clinical importance of femoral neck shortening after internal ...
متن کاملShortening of the Femoral Neck Following Peritrochanteric Fracture
Proximal femoral neck and peritrochanteric fractures are a devastating musculoskeletal injury resulting in markedly increased patient morbidity and mortality. As the annual incidence of fracture continues to increase, there is a recognized need to improve clinical outcomes following fixation, especially in peritrochanteric fractures. While many factors are associated with adverse patient outcom...
متن کاملUse of the Pavlik nail for femoral shortening.
BACKGROUND Selecting the correct type of osteosynthesis has a crucial impact on the final outcome of shortening operations for leg length discrepancy (LLD). One approach, introduced at the beginning of the 1950's, was fixation of femoral shortening osteotomy using the Pavlik intramedullary nail. AIM The aim of this paper is to draw attention to the outstanding contribution of this great repre...
متن کاملOne-stage lengthening for femoral shortening with associated deformity.
One-stage femoral lengthening is thought to have an unacceptably high complication rate and is not widely practised. We reviewed 17 patients after one-stage lengthening for femoral shortening with associated angular or rotational deformities. Minimal dissection of the bone ends was undertaken. The mean length gain was 4 cm (2 to 7), and the average time to union was 6 months (3 to 10). There we...
