Extension Block Pinning Vs Single Kirshner Wiring To Treat Bony Mallet Finger. A Retrospective Study.

Background And Aim: Bony Mallet Finger or Mallet Fracture is a common injury of the hand, which follows a forced flexion of the extended distal interphalangeal joint, that leads to a bony avulsion of the distal phalanx. Depending on fracture extension and dislocation, those lesions can either be treated conservatively or surgically. Several surgical options have been described in the literature.

The Dorsoulnar Artery Perforator Adipofascial Flap in the Treatment of Distal Radioulnar Synostosis.

Posttraumatic radioulnar synostosis (RUS) is a rare event following forearm fractures. Consequences are disabling for patients who suffer from functional limitation in forearm pronosupination. Distal RUS are even more rare and more difficult to treat because of high recurrence rates.

Posterior interosseous artery distal radius graft for ulnar nonunion treatment.

The aim of our study was to describe a dorsal distal radius vascularized bone graft pedicled on the posterior interosseous artery (PIA), and its clinical application in 2 cases of ulnar nonunion. We studied the surgical technique in 5 freshly injected cadavers. The 4th extensor compartment artery originates from the anastomotic arch between the posterior division of the anterior interosseous artery and the PIA and provides periosteal branches to supply the dorsal distal radius metaphysis.

Complications following correction of the planovalgus foot in cerebral palsy by arthroereisis.

Pes valgus is a pathological condition which occurs in up to 25% of patients with cerebral palsy. Its correction in early age is essential to prevent progression of the deformity and to optimize the patient's function. In younger patients arthroereisis can be considered as a treatment that fills the void between orthotics and arthrodesis.

Hip subluxation and dislocation in cerebral palsy: outcome of bone surgery in 21 hips.

The prevalence of hip subluxation and dislocation in cerebral palsy ranges between 3% and 75% in the literature. Clinical signs are rigidity, pain and instability. We assessed functionality, stability and symptoms in 20 patients preoperatively and after follow-up.

Surgical treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle: a report on 17 cases.

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle (CPC) is a rare malformation of uncertain aetiopathogenesis, usually unilateral. Physical examination reveals swelling over the midportion of the clavicle, often asymptomatic; the diagnosis is confirmed by radiology. Treatment is controversial: for many authors the surgical indications are the presence of symptoms, functional impairment or cosmetic deformities.
