A nonunion is an arrest in the fracture repair process progressive evidence of non healing of a fracture of a bone a delayed union is generally defined as a failure to reach bony union by 6 months post-injury this also includes fractures that are taking longer than expected to heal (ie. distal radial fractures) large …
Osteomyelitis – Adult Summary Osteomyelitis is the infection of bone characterized by progressive inflammatory destruction and apposition of new bone. Diagnosis requires careful assessment of radiographs, MRI and determining the organism via biopsy and cultures. Treatment is often a combination of culture-directed antibiotics and surgical debridement of nonviable tissue. Epidemiology Incidence the exact incidence is …
High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) is a surgical procedure that is performed to correct angular deformities of the knee to prevent development or progression of unicompartmental osteoarthritis. It is predominately done to correct for varus deformities in young patients but can also be done to correct valgus deformities. Etiology Use predominately done for varus deformities less common …
Limb lengthening and reconstruction techniques can be used to replace missing bone and to lengthen and/or straighten deformed bone segments. These procedures may be performed in both children and adults who have limb length discrepancies due to birth defects, disease, or injury.The limb lengthening and deformity correction process works on the principle of distraction osteogenesis. …
