Carpal Bones The carpal bones are a group of eight small bones that form the wrist, arranged in proximal and distal rows. Their unique anatomy and positioning influence both the likelihood of fracture and the clinical presentation. Below is an overview of each bone and its fracture frequency, along with clinical considerations. Anatomy and Frequency […]
Read moreCallotasis 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 […]

Non-unions are often categorized as: Hypertrophic (biologically active but mechanically unstable) […]

These deformities significantly disrupt mechanical axis alignment, placing abnormal stress on knee cartilage and potentially accelerating the progression of osteoarthritis. Over the past […]

Read moreDefinition of Hallux Valgus Hallux valgus is a common forefoot deformity characterized by a valgus deviation of the great toe and a varus deviation of the first metatarsal, 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 […]

1. Introduction Pediatric lower limb angular deformities, such as genu varum (bowlegs) and genu 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 […]

AO Type C3 Distal Radius Fractures Distal radius fractures are among the most common orthopedic injuries worldwide, 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 […]

Pediatric forearm fractures, particularly diaphyseal fractures involving both the radius and ulna, are among the most common orthopedic injuries in children, accounting for 13% to 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. […]

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% and 6% of femur fractures, their incidence is likely to increase with the rising geriatric populations and the increasing number of peri-prosthetic injuries.In […]
