Gait Analysis in Patients After Hemiepiphysiodesis Due to Valgus or Varus Knee Deformity.

Developmental knee joint deformities are a common problem in pediatric orthopedics. Children with a valgus or varus deformity of the distal femur or the proximal tibia are commonly treated with hemiepiphysiodesis. Gait analysis in patients with lower limb deformities plays an important role in clinical practice.

The Use of Osteogenon as an Adjunctive Treatment in Lower Leg Fractures.

The goal of the orthopedic treatment of fractures is to achieve bone union as rapidly as possible in the largest possible number of patients and to minimize the number of complications. The purpose of this study was to assess if the use of Osteogenon would have a positive effect on radiological and clinical parameters in patients with lower leg bone fractures treated with the Ilizarov method. We evaluated 26 patients who had their lower leg bone fractures treated with the Ilizarov method and received Osteogenon at our clinic in the years 2021-2023.

Balance and Weight Distribution over the Lower Limbs Following Calcaneal Fracture Treatment with the Ilizarov Method.

: The biomechanical outcomes of intra-articular calcaneal fracture treatment have not been fully explored. The purpose of this study was to analyze pedobarographic assessments of balance and body weight distribution over the lower limbs in patients following calcaneal fracture treatment with the Ilizarov method and to compare the results with those of a control group. : The data for our retrospective study came from cases of intra-articular calcaneal fractures treated with the Polish modification of the Ilizarov method in the period between 2021 and 2022.

Do Patient Sex and Age Affect Hemiepiphysiodesis Outcomes?

(1) : The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of sex and age on the outcomes of hemiepiphysiodesis performed for genu valgum and varum deformity correction. (2) : We analyzed patients who had undergone O-Plate hemiepiphysiodesis due to genu valgum or varum in the period of 2020-2023. The study group comprised 22 females and 20 males aged between 3 and 14 years at the time of surgery.
