Background: Alteration of the posteromedial part of the proximal tibia is the main characteristic of Blount's disease and if left untreated, leg alignment and normal development of the lower limbs may be compromised.
Aim: To report treatment outcomes in children with Blount's disease using the Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF).
Materials And Methods: From January 2007 to December 2014, 16 young children (24 tibia) with a mean age of 7.
External fixation can be an exceptional relief solution in the treatment of proximal femoral fractures. We would like to share our experience using external fixation techniques with either the Ilizarov frame or Hofmann system in 23 patients with complicated fractures.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: To demonstrate the feasibility of spinal canal decompression through the posterior transpedicular approach in patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures.
Methods: We present 25 consecutive patients (19 men and 6 women; mean age 36 years; age range, 24-48 years) with incomplete neurological deficits (ASIA B and C) resulting from thoracolumbar burst fractures treated by posterior transpedicular spinal canal decompression and posterior segmental instrumented fusion. Canal compromise at presentation was 51.
