Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) is a rare congenital anomaly of the femur. Rotationplasty has been described as a reconstructive procedure in the management of PFFD. A 68-year-old woman with PFFD of the right leg and rotationplasty at the age of 12 years had prosthetic fitting problems after a fall. The authors describe the analysis of the prosthetic fitting problems and the considerat...

To design custom-made prosthesis in a certain population, the morphometry needs to be measured. The results of this study were expected to provide basic data to design the ideal size of the total hip arthoplasty prosthesis for Indonesian population. This was an anthropometric study conducted on sex matched 100 healthy Indonesian mongoloid race subjects based on Computer Tomographic (CT) imaging...

Children who present late with hip dislocation may require femoral osteotomy after reduction, to correct valgus and anteversion deformity of the femoral neck. After these procedures proximal femoral growth is unpredictable. We have studied proximal femoral growth in 40 children who had been treated by femoral osteotomy. Preoperatively, the mean femoral neck-shaft angle was 5 degrees greater on ...
