Question: Despite numerous advantages in fracture reduction and
correction of multi-planar deformities, hexapod frame instability
due to strut joints free play, more evident in the latency and
consolidation periods, is well-known limitation. The purpose
of this biomechanical study was to analyse whether the type o
the universal joint utilized in st...
The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of Ilizarov method in severe congenital flexion deformity of the knee. This was a retrospective study of eight consecutive bilateral cases (five girls and three boys, with mean age of 4 years, involving 16 knees) with minimum 2-year follow-up. Four patients had multiple congenital contractures...
External fixation is used for the correction of select foot and ankle deformities. We have found the traditional forefoot crossing wire technique to be insufficient in terms of both individual metatarsal control and forefoot manipulation when using a dynamic ring fixator to correct forefoot deformities. We developed a forefoot fixation technique at...
BACKGROUND
Cleft foot is a very rare congenital anomaly, which is characterized by central rays deficiency of the foot. It is also known as split foot or ectrodactyly of the foot, and it is very often combined with splitting of the hands. The defect develops due to insufficient activity of the median apical ectodermal ridge, which leads to an incre...
Aims
Infected and deformed neuropathic feet and ankles are serious challenges for surgical management. In this study we present our experience in performing ankle arthrodesis in a closed manner, without surgical preparation of the joint surfaces by cartilaginous debridement, but instead using an Ilizarov ring fixator (IRF) for deformity correction...

Introduction An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a rare, non-neoplastic, destructive, hemorrhagic, and expansile lesion accounting for 1 % of all bone tumors. ABC of the foot is very rare. Patients with foot ABC usually complain of pain and swelling of the affected area. Radiographs and MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of ABC. No single surgical pr...
Introduction. Recurrent clubfoot deformity may be due to either an imperfect initial correction, or a natural history of a severe disease. In the later, idiopathic clubfoot is uncommon. In the review we describe reconstructive surgery in recurrent deformity of idiopathic clubfoot.
Material and methods. Surgery may be justified at different age and...
Purpose. Tibia hemimelia is a congenital disease characterized by partial or complete absence of the fibula, shortening and deformity of the limb, hypoplasia and deformity of the foot.

Which classification system to follow while managing congenital knee dislocation.
Congenital knee dislocation (CKD) was first reported by a Swiss physician Chatelaine, in the year 1822, but even after the passage of two centuries, the exact treatment protocol is still debatable. CKD is a hyperextension deformity of the knee with anterior tibia displacement, present at birth. It may be idiopathic or syndromic (Larsen’s syndrome,...
