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...

<p class="abstract">Proximal radio ulnar synostosis is a rare entity presenting with restriction of supination and pronation. Among the various types, type 4 variety even more-rare its presentation, can pose diagnostic challenge specially, if history trauma. Radiologically, it usually overlooked as malunited radial neck therefore needs thorough evaluation. We presented case 15-year-old ma...

Patella fractures account for 1% of all fractures but there is little in the contemporary literature regarding either an optimal standardized post-operative rehabilitation regimen or the long-term outcomes following these fractures. Tension band wire fixation for displaced patella fractures is a well-recognised and accepted method of operative treatment for these fractures. In this case the aut...

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) of the distal tibia offers several theoretical advantages compared to classic open reduction and internal fixation. A mechanically stable fracture-bridging osteosynthesis can be obtained without significant dissection and surgical trauma to the bone and surrounding soft tissues. In this retrospective study we looked at the results and complications...

       Background: An intra-articular distal humerus malunion can be disabling. To improve function, reduce pain and/ or prevent further secondary osteoarthritis an intra-articular corrective osteotomy can be considered. Herein we present the indications, practical guidelines for pre- operative planning and surgical technique. Subsequently, we provide long-term results in a small series.   Meth...

The role of carrying angle in the sex determination and its cause of formation is a long debated issue in Anatomy and Anthropology. Most studies have focused on the question of cause of formation of carrying angle, difference in sex and age but little attention has been given to correlate the carrying angle with various parameters. Hence, an effort has been made to find out correlation of carry...

INTRODUCTION Although not all malunited distal radius fractures are symptomatic, the goal of treatment for displaced extra-articular fractures of the distal radius should be to restore and to maintain the radial geometry until bone healing. However, the time course change after surgery for these fractures is unclear. METHODS We, therefore, performed a retrospective cohort study on patients wh...
