Posterior thigh compartment syndrome secondary to proximal hamstring avulsion.

Introduction: Thigh compartment syndrome is a rare clinical entity that requires urgent medical and surgical management due to its potentially severe medical and legal consequences. Although it typically affects a classic patient demographic-most often a young adult following a traffic accident.

Presentation Of Case: This case is unique in that it stems from a compressive hematoma secondary to an avulsion of the proximal hamstring tendon.

[Leg length changes after upper tibial osteotomy: analysis of different preoperative planning methods].

Purpose Of The Study: The amount of change in the length of the lower limb resulting from upper tibial osteotomy depends on the type of osteotomy performed, the preoperative length of the limb, the degree of preoperative deformity and the amount of correction obtained. Wedge resection, for example, removes bone tissue and can lead to shortening. Inversely, a lengthening effect may result from correction of deformity.
