Cavus Foot Correction Using a Full Percutaneous Procedure: A Case Series.

Cavus foot is a tri-planar deformity that requires correction in several bones and soft tissue. Minimally invasive surgeries are less aggressive, faster and easier to recover from. Here, we describe the initial results of a technique for percutaneous cavus foot correction.

PRE-PLANNING ANKLE ARTHRODESIS USING 3D RECONSTRUCTED TOMOGRAPHIES.

Objective: To implement one analysis method of the ankle bone contour that could make a more precise ankle arthrodesis.

Methods: Twenty tomographies were submitted to 3D reconstruction. Seven points of anatomic interest for ankle arthrodesis with the three screws technique were marked with a triplannar marker.

Tomographic analysis for C2 screw placement in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Objective: A morphological analysis of the bone structure of C2 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in order to enhance the security of the stabilization procedures for this vertebra.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 20 CT scans of the cervical spine performed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis; the following parameters were measured: spinolaminar angle, thickness and length of C2 lamina.

Results: THE MEAN VALUES ARE: 5.
