Category: Other Introduction/Purpose: Radiographic angles and measurements are widely used in foot ankle pathologies to define normal abnormal skeletal alignment. In spite of this the inter-observer reliability these parameters is debatable. The aim study was determine various radiographic flat deformity. Methods: Antero-posterior (AP) lateral radiographs 18 patients with flatfoot deformity wer...

INTRODUCTION Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH) is a very rare cause of dysphagia when it occurs in the cervical spine. It can also affect the lumbar region where it causes deformity. CASE REPORT In this article, a rare case of Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis involving both the cervical and lumbar spine, presenting with dysphagia and spinal stiffness leading to a stoopin...

Observations of skeletal malformations in fish the wild are poorly documented and need to be investigated. Here we report occurrence body shortening specimens Plagioscion squamosissimus collected Volta Grande do Xingu, middle Xingu River region (Pará, Brazil), during a 12-month monitoring program (2021–2022). We observed morphological anomalies nine individuals, which two underwent radiographic...

Since its discovery in 1997, knowledge about the SHOX gene has rapidly increased. In this review, we summarise clinical features and diagnostic and therapeutic implications in SHOX haploinsuYciency and overdosage. SHOX haploinsuYciency usually results in mesomelic short stature and Turner skeletal features, including Madelung deformity with puberty, in subjects with normal gonadal function. Thu...

We reviewed 13 children with partial growth plate arrest who had been treated by epiphyseolysis. Eight were followed to skeletal maturity and five for at least four years. In three cases the affected limb was restored to normal and in five the operation was successful in improving angular deformity and leg length discrepancy such that further surgery was not necessary. In the five failures, ang...

Background. Many malformations and dysfunctions of the skeletal system are connected with the "contracture syndrome" described by Prof. Hans Mau. The clinical features include plagiocephaly, torticollis, infantile scoliosis, pelvic deformity, foot deformity, adductor contracture mostly of the left hip, abductor contracture mostly of the right hip. Material and methods. The authors analyzed 300 ...

INTRODUCTION There has been growing interest in the concept of cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) as an etiological factor in the development of osteoarthritis of the hip after slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). Remodeling of the femoral head has been reported from several authors, however, a little is known about the remodeling from the point of cam deformity. Therefore, we con...

Guided growth is one of the most utilized surgical techniques for managing limb deformity in skeletally immature patients. Our understanding this technique and types implants have evolved over past century. Many known risks surgery, such as over-correction, under-correction, rebound deformity, are same initially described when hemiephysiodesis guided were first published. The staple has been a ...

Pectus excavatum, the most frequent congenital chest wall deformity, may be rarely observed as a sole deformity or as a sign of an underlying connective tissue disorder. To date, only few studies have described correlations between this deformity and heritable connective tissue disorders such as Marfan, Ehlers-Danlos, Poland, MASS (Mitral valve prolapse, not progressive Aortic enlargement, Skel...

Scoliosis Research Society defined scoliosis deformity as a lateral curvature of the spine on a radiograph of the spine taken in standing position.1 The degree of the curve is measured as the angle between the most inclined vertebral end-plates at each end of the curve (the Cobb angle). There are many causes of scoliosis deformity. It can be structural due to spinal pathologies or non-structura...
