Paralytic deformity in the lower limb.
Because tuberculosis and rickets have become uncommon diseases motor paralysis is now the commonest cause of serious deformity in childhood in Great Britain. The three conditions that share responsibility for this are poliomyelitis, cerebral palsy and spina bifida. The object of this paper is to review the mechanisms of paralytic deformity in these three conditions and to put forward the view t...
متن کاملThe orthopaedic management of lower limb deformity in hypophosphataemic rickets
BACKGROUND Many patients with X-linked hypophosphataemic rickets (X-LHPR) demonstrate significant lower limb deformity despite optimal medical management. This study evaluates the use of guided growth by means of hemi-epiphysiodesis to address coronal plane deformity in the skeletally immature child. METHODS Since 2005, 24 patients with X-LHPR have been referred to our orthopaedic unit for ev...
متن کاملLower limb deformity and prevention of scoliosis in cerebral palsy.

Infantile alignments, anteversion of the femoral necks, torsion of the tibia and coxa valga are retained,' and infantile postural asymmetry induces a structural asymmetry which lasts several years in normal children,2 but persists as scoliosis, p...

متن کاملLimb Lengthening and Reconstruction Society AIM index reliably assesses lower limb deformity.
BACKGROUND Although several systems exist for classifying specific limb deformities, there currently are no validated rating scales for evaluating the complexity of general lower limb deformities. Accurate assessment of the complexity of a limb deformity is essential for successful treatment. A committee of the Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Society (LLRS) therefore developed the LLRS AIM ...
