Joint deformity secondary to extensive haemangiomatous involvement of the soft tissues has been well described and is easy to diagnose. If the haemangioma is small, localised and within the belly of a muscle the diagnosis is more difficult. In equinus deformity of obscure aetiology localised calf tenderness may be the only diagnostic sign. Three children with equinus deformity caused by a small...

Post burn calcaneovalgus is a complex foot deformity and management becomes increasingly difficult especially if neglected in growing young child resulting secondary bony deformity. A simple technique of single stage surgical correction with Joshi’s external stabilization system (JESS) described using principle distraction osteogenesis or histogenesis without need extensive plastic procedure. f...

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...

Understandably describe historical and current spinal deformity classifications. Spinal deformities can be divided into three main categories: congenital, idiopathic, secondary deformities. Secondary is by far the largest group. Congenital are generally seen in very early ages may accompanied neural with systemic organ pathologies. Different classification systems based on clinical radiological...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether an early bone marrow edema pattern predicts vertebral deformity types and prognosis in osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 64 patients with 75 acute OVCFs who underwent early MRI and followed up MRI. On early MRI, the low SI pattern of OVCF on T1WI were assessed and classified into 3 types (diffuse, globul...
