PURPOSE Deformities of the forearm and shortening of the ulna occur in 30 % of patients with hereditary multiple exostoses (HME), leading to radial head dislocation and loss of movement. Several surgical techniques have been described for treatment, and the aim of our study was to present clinical and radiographic results at skeletal maturity in 15 children that underwent the surgical procedure...

Background. Severe fractures of the shin bones are often accompanied by formation defects in tibia, suppuration and soft tissue necrosis. In case surgical treatment fractures, infectious complications reach 3.6-9.1%. One methods infected is resection ends tibia with shortening. This operation has proven to be effective fresh fractures. The relevance work due prospects using this technique conse...

BACKGROUND High tibial osteotomy is a common procedure to treat symptomatic osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee with varus alignment. This is achieved by overcorrecting the varus alignment to 2-6° of valgus. Various high tibial osteotomy techniques are currently used to this end. Common procedures are medial opening wedge and lateral closing wedge tibial osteotomies. The latera...

INTRODUCTION The introduction of the internal lengthening nail (ILN) has changed the treatment of complex malalignment and shortening about the knee. Acute correction of the deformity and gradual lengthening through this osteotomy site has greatly simplified postoperative recovery. This manuscript is a review of the techniques that are currently being used in surgery. METHODS The article is b...

PURPOSE Hip subluxation is common in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Surgery is indicated in case of pain or progressive increase of Reimers index on radiographs. Peri-iliac osteotomy combined with femoral osteotomy is one of the numerous operative techniques available, but results at skeletal maturity remain unclear. The purpose of this radiological study was to report the long-term results...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of DDH ranges from 1 per1000 to 3.4 per 100 live- births. One- and-one-half hip spica cast is the conventional technique of immobilization after the open reduction with or without osteotomy. OBJECTIVES In this study, we evaluated the preference of bilateral one-half spica cast over the one-and-one-half spica cast. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight hips in five patients w...
