INTRODUCTION Achondroplasia is the most common reason for disproportionate short stature. Normally, orthopedic limb lengthening procedures must be discussed in the course of this genetic disorder and have been successful in numerous achondroplastic patients in the past. In some cases, the disease may lead to leg length differences with need for surgical correction. CASE REPORT We report a cas...
Leg length discrepancies can occur despite successful union of femur fractures after intramedullary nailing (IMN). Often, the leg length discrepancy can result in significant disability to the patient, altered gait biomechanics, pelvic obliquity, and pain. Therefore, a successful clinical result for such deformities after IMN involves addressing the leg length inequality. Femoral reconstruction...
Objective: To study the somatic and mental health in patients who had leg lengthening (LL) in a 10-year follow-up and to compare it with the 1 year-follow-up. Earlier studies have demonstrated severe maladaptive reactions in children and adolescents on a short term basis but also that they tolerate it without sustained psychological impact. Cohort sequential longitudinal studies, in which indiv...
Correction of complex deformities is a challenging procedure. Long-term wearing of a fixator after correction and lengthening are inconvenient and has a high rate of complication. The goals of the surgical treatment in the presented case were: (1) correction of the deformity and lengthening of the left leg by the Taylor spatial frame (TSF, Smith and Nephew, Marl, Germany); (2) reduction in the ...
We measured the extent and rate of new bone formation over an 18-month period before, during and after the lengthening of ten leg segments in six patients aged between 8 and 18 years, using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). New bone formation could be identified within one week of the start of distraction. As lengthening proceeded, the bone density of the gap fell, reaching minimum value...
BACKGROUND and purpose Limb lengthening is performed for a diverse range of orthopedic problems. A high rate of complications has been reported in these patients, which include motor and sensory loss as a result of nerve damage. We investigated the effect of limb lengthening on peripheral nerve function. PATIENTS AND METHODS 36 patients underwent electrophysiological testing at 3 points: (1) ...
Knee anomalies are common in patients with congenital short femurs who require lengthening to correct limb-length discrepancies. We retrospectively reviewed the incidence of knee arthritis and the factors influencing its occurrence after femoral lengthening using the Wagner method. Twenty-three patients with congenital short femurs treated with the Wagner method were followed up until skeletal ...
OBJECTIVE To report muscle strength, power, and function after limb-lengthening surgery performed by using the Ilizarov technique. DESIGN Prospective, longitudinal observational study of a cohort of consecutive patients who underwent limb-lengthening distraction followed up for 2 years after surgery. SETTING National Health Service hospital specializing in orthopedic surgery. PARTICIPANTS...
