Bilateral humeral lengthening and deformity correction with hexapod external fixator in an achondroplastic patient: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Achondroplasia, a prevalent skeletal dysplasia, often results in limb asymmetry and functional limitations, typically managed surgically with bone lengthening techniques.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 10-year-old girl with achondroplasia who underwent bilateral humeral lengthening using hexapod external fixators. The patient, previously treated for lower limb lengthening, exhibited significant upper limb shortening affecting daily activities.

Neglected Dislocation in Adults: A New Therapeutic Strategy for an Uncommon Condition.

(1) Background: Neglected hip dislocation is an uncommon condition, especially in developed countries because dislocations are considered trauma emergencies and thus are treated early. They are usually treated with methods used in commonly occurring dislocations. The aim of this study is to detail a two-stage strategy for neglected hip dislocations in adults applied in a complicated case.
