Where length discrepancy occurs in the skeletally mature lower leg, there may be a benefit in using the technique of tibial shortening. Existing techniques have not been widely adopted and are associated with a high incidence of soft tissue complications. We describe a technique of progressive shortening, which we believe is a safe method, having adapted this from techniques for dealing with traumatic bone loss.

Enhanced Osseointegration of Titanium Alloy Bone Implants Coated With Carob-calcium Hydroxide Nanoparticles: A Comparative Study.
J Craniofac Surg
December 2024
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, College of Dentistry, King Saud University.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the osseointegration properties of titanium bone implants coated with carob-mediated calcium hydroxide nanoparticles biomechanically, radiographically, and histologically on rabbit tibias.
Material And Methods: Forty coated and forty uncoated titanium alloy bone implants were inserted into 20 New Zealand rabbits; each tibia received 2 implants. The rabbits were sacrificed after 4 or 8 weeks, and samples were retrieved for biomechanical evaluation through removal torque test to assess the bond between implant and bone, radiographic evaluation through microcomputed tomography analysis to compare the bone-to-implant contact percentage and bone volume of the peri-implant area, scanning electron microscopic and histologic evaluation through hematoxylin and eosin stain.
Surgical treatment of AO/OTA 41B3 and 41C tibial plateau fractures with a temporary bi-frame fixator combined with the MIPPO technique.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, 54 Youdian Road, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou, 310006, China.
Background: This study evaluated the clinical effects of the use of a temporary bi-frame fixator in conjunction with minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) for treating AO/OTA 41B3 and 41C tibial plateau fractures (TPFs).
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 30 patients with TPFs affected by vertical compression seen from October 2019 to October 2020. All patients were treated with a bi-frame fixator to correct the vertical shortening deformity, with the MIPPO technique used after reduction.
Evaluation of factors affecting development of complications in the early surgical treatment of distal tibial epiphyseal fractures.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationships among factors affecting complication development and premature physeal closure (PPC) in patients undergoing surgical treatment within 12 h of the time of injury.
Patients And Methods: Between January 2015 and January 2021, a total of 46 patients (37 males, 9 females; mean age: 11.9±2.
Prevention of Stump Overgrowth in Pediatric Patients with Traumatic Crush Injury of the Leg: A Case Report.
JBJS Case Connect
October 2024
Department of Paediatic Orthopaedics, British Columbia Children's Hospital, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Case: Stump overgrowth is the most common complication in skeletally immature amputees. Various techniques including capping the amputated stump have been used to prevent it but have been associated with variable rates of recurrence of bony overgrowth. We report a technique of intercalary tibial shortening prophylactically to avoid stump overgrowth in some specific situations in children with traumatic crush injuries of the leg/foot.

BMC Surg
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedics, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Hefei, 230601, China.
Background: Tourniquets are routinely employed to achieve hemostasis in modern limb surgeries. Nevertheless, the precise role and benefits of tourniquets in high tibial osteotomy (HTO) surgeries remain understudied. The aim of this study was to assess the application of tourniquets in high-tibial osteotomy procedures.
