Circular fixation according to the Ilizarov method is a well-recognised modality of treatment for trauma and deformity. One shortcoming of the traditional fixator is its limited ability to correct more than one plane of deformity simultaneously, leading to lengthy frame-time indices. Hexapod circular fixation utilising computer guidance is commonplace for complex multidimensional deformity but ...

Rocker bottom deformity may occur during the conservative treatment of idiopathic congenital clubfoot. Between 1975 and 1996, we treated 715 patients (1120 clubfeet) conservatively. A total of 23 patients (36 feet; 3.2%) developed a rocker bottom deformity. It is these patients that we have studied. The pathoanatomy of the rocker bottom deformity is characterised by a plantar convexity appearin...

Introduction Skeletal deformity correction is a procedure of high aesthetic and functional demand. Therefore, meticulous surgical planning has always been mandatory. However, it is known that during the surgery things may often get slippery, leaving the surgeon no chance but improvisation. Because of this shortcoming it is not a rare occasion to find unhappy patients that have undergone deformi...

Thoracic deformity can be roughly divided into two categories, one is depression the other protrusion deformity. In general, called pectus excavatum. era of open surgery, there no big problem with this nomenclature. However, in minimally invasive because general surgery cannot used to treat some deformities, it necessary further classify these deformities. After a long time observations, we fou...

Hallux valgus is a complex deformity of the forefoot. It result multiple effects endogenous and exogenous etiological factors with different degrees influence. The degree hallux was assessed by radiological values (HVA) intermetatarsal (IMA) angle. Thus, each corresponds to pair (HVA, IMA) angle in plane deformity. intensity point position vector S deformation determined relation represents abs...
