BACKGROUND Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the most common elbow injury that requires reduction and immobilization in the proper position to union. There are a few reports regarding the position of the forearm immobilization on elbow cosmetic outcome. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare two modes of the forearm, supination and pronation in elbow deformity incidence after closed re...

Reports of corrective procedures for cubitus varus (gunstock deformity) have emphasized the frequency of loss of position and significant complication. Modifications that have been made to the standard supracondylar osteotomy protocol include correction of the angular deformity only, without correction of rotation; an incomplete wedge osteotomy leaving the medial cortex intact by hinging the os...

Aim: To evaluate the role of Joshi’s external stabilization system in the management of neglected, resistant and relapsed CTEV, in the age group of 1-10 years. Methods And Material: Total 18 patients (20 feet’s) underwent JESS fixation surgery at Department of Orthopedics, S.R.N.Hospital, M.L.N. Medical College Allahabad, from January 2012 to July 2015. This prospective study was conducted on e...

The risk of developing an osseous bridge after certain types of epiphyseal injury is well established. Once formed subsequent growth will usually result in a progressive deformity. We present an unusual case in which such an osseous bridge formed and a deformity developed. The bridge then resolved spontaneously and the joint returned to normal alignment. Case report. A five-year-old girl injure...

Varus supracondylar osteotomy of the femur is the established procedure for treating painful knees that present lateral arthrosis and valgus deformity. In descriptions of the conventional surgical techniques, there are divergences regarding the location, access route, correction level, fixation type and area for synthesis insertion. This is most evident in cases of severe valgus with angles gre...

Introduction Corrective osteotomy for malunited fractures of the upper extremity remains a challenging procedure. Anatomical correction is the key to good clinical outcome after corrective osteotomy for malunited fractures, especially in cases of the upper extremity. To make a precise deformity correction in malunion, we have developed a computer-assisted system for corrective surgery, includin...

This article reviews historical approaches to the various osteotomies in the treatment of rigid cavus feet in children, with an emphasis on the biplanar nature of historical osteotomies. The Akron dome midfoot osteotomy is performed at the apex of the rigid cavus deformity and allows for maximum correction in any plane, and for varus, valgus, dorsal, plantar, and rotational correction. In that ...
