Complications of tibial osteotomies in children with comorbidities.

Tibial osteotomies in children have been associated with a number of complications. A retrospective review of 116 children who had 129 tibial osteotomies was performed to assess these complications at our institution. Results showed that there were 35 cases of wound problems, 6 cases of recurrence/reoperation, 5 cases of delayed union, 2 cases with transient peroneal nerve palsy, 1 case of nonunion, and 1 case of mal-union.

Infected total knee arthroplasty treated with arthrodesis using a modular nail.

Failed treatment of infected total knee replacement presents few attractive surgical options. Knee arthrodesis is challenging surgically and can be complicated by nonunion, malunion, or recurrent infection. Recently, a modular titanium intramedullary nail has been used in an attempt to reduce the incidence of nonunion and the rate of complications.
