Mastering Callotasis: The Science and Strategy of Bone Lengthening
Callotasis as a Bone Elongation Method Callotasis, also known as distraction osteogenesis, is a surgical technique that prompts bone regeneration through gradual mechanical distraction. Following a controlled osteotomy, a distraction device,commonly an external fixator is applied. This initiates a sequence of healing phases where mechanical tension stimulates new bone formation in the gap between bone […]

Understanding Nonunion of Long Bone Fractures & How to Choose Between Ilizarov and MonoRail Fixators
1. What Is Long Bone Fracture Non-Union? A non-union occurs when a fracture does not heal on its own without further intervention. Clinically, most sources define this as persistence of a fracture after at least 6–9 months with no progression toward union in the last 3 months . Non-unions are often categorized as: Hypertrophic (biologically active but mechanically unstable) […]

Optimisation des résultats dans l'ostéotomie fémorale distale: Fixation interne est-elle le choix supérieur?
1. Introduction ostéotomie fémorale distale (MPO) est une procédure chirurgicale essentielle pour corriger les déformations angulaires du fémur distal, communément en raison de la mallunion, adolescent Blount disease, metabolic conditions, osteoarthritis, or idiopathic origins. These deformities significantly disrupt mechanical axis alignment, placing abnormal stress on knee cartilage and potentially accelerating the progression of osteoarthritis. Over the past […]

Assiette de verrouillage du coin d'ouverture en ostéotomie métatarsienne: Une solution fiable pour Hallux Valgus modéré à sévère
Définition de Hallux Valgus Hallux Valgus est une déformation courante de l'avant-pied caractérisée par une déviation valgus du grand orteil et une déviation varus du premier métatarsien, resulting in a prominent medial bump or “bunion.” It often leads to pain, reduced mobility, and discomfort in footwear. According to radiographic evaluation standards, severity can be defined by: Hallux […]

Huit plaques vs. Plaque de reconstruction en croissance guidée pédiatrique
1. INTRODUCTION DES FAITS DE LIMBES POUR PÉDIATRIQUES, comme le genou de l'eau (jambes arquées) et geut Valgum (knock-knees), require timely intervention to prevent joint degeneration and improve gait and aesthetics. In growing children, guided growth, also known as temporary hemiepiphysiodesis, is a minimally invasive solution that leverages the child’s remaining growth potential to correct deformity gradually. Among the […]

Une stratégie chirurgicale fiable pour les fractures du rayon distal AO de type C3: Fixateur de rayon distal avec plaque de rayon distal VOLAR LCP
Les fractures de rayon distal AO de type C3 sont parmi les blessures orthopédiques les plus courantes dans le monde, especially in older adults following low-energy trauma or in younger individuals due to high-impact injuries. According to the AOclassification, distal radius fractures are divided into types A (extra-articular), B (partial articular), and C (complete articular). AO type C3 is […]

Intramedullary Stainless Steel Rush Pins for Pediatric Diaphyseal Forearm Fractures: A Cost-Effective and Reliable Solution
Pediatric forearm fractures, particularly diaphyseal fractures involving both the radius and ulna, are among the most common orthopedic injuries in children, accounting for 13% à 40% of all pediatric fractures. While the majority of these fractures can be managed conservatively with closed reduction and casting, certain cases—such as unstable, open, or irreducible fractures—necessitate surgical intervention.

An Overview of Options in Distal Femur Fractures
Summary of Distal Femur Fractures Distal femur fractures are severe injuries that can be technically challenging to operatively treat. Although they account for less than 1% of all fractures and between 3% et 6% of femur fractures, their incidence is likely to increase with the rising geriatric populations and the increasing number of peri-prosthetic injuries.In […]
