Posttraumatic enophthalmos is one of the common sequelae that appears after facial injury and remains a challenge to treat for craniomaxillofacial surgeons. Several theories have been advocated regarding enophthalmos; however, the most well accepted concept is the enlargement of the orbital cavity after displacement due to orbital fractures. Generally, a 1 cm3 increase in orbital volume causes ...

The femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is as condition recently characterized that results from the abnormal anatomic and functional relation between the proximal femur and the acetabular border, associated with repetitive movements, which lead labrum and acetabular cartilage injuries. Such alterations result from anatomical variations such as acetabular retroversion or decrease of the femoroac...

We undertook a prospective study to analyse the outcome of 48 malunited pronation-external rotation fractures of the ankle in 48 patients (25 females and 23 males) with a mean age of 45 years (21 to 69), treated by realignment osteotomies. The interval between the injury and reconstruction was a mean of 20.2 months (3 to 98). In all patients, valgus malalignment of the distal tibia and malunio...

The aim of this study was to identify predictors of a superior functional outcome after corrective osteotomy for paediatric malunited radius and both-bone forearm fractures. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of individual participant data, searching databases up to 1 October 2016. Our primary outcome was the gain in pronosupination seen after corrective osteotomy. Individual pa...

Introduction: The most common cause of ankle osteoarthritis (OA) is posttraumatic, with around 80% of all cases, followed by primary and secondary ankle OA. Patients often present wit asymmetric involvement of the tibiotalar joint, resulting in valgus or varus deformity of the ankle and hindfoot. The etiology of asymmetric arthritic ankles can be divided into 2 main etiologic and morphologic gr...

BACKGROUND Correction of a distal radius fracture malunion is challenging technically. These malunions most classically deform dorsally, but often the deformity involves three planes. METHODS Using an anatomically designed radial plate that takes into consideration the three planes, correction of the deformity can be obtained. In this video we see a patient with a classic dinner fork deformit...
