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

Department of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Opole, 45-040 Opole, Poland.
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.

Distal tibia fractures are high-energy injuries characterized by a mismatch between standard plate designs and the patient's specific anatomical bone structure, which can lead to severe soft tissue damage. Recent advancements have focused on the development of customized metal plates using three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. However, 3D-printed metal plates using titanium alloys have not incorporated a locking system due to the brittleness of these alloys.

The paper presents a detailed gross anatomical description of the elements of the pelvic limb in the African green monkey and provides comparative and differential elements on pelvic limb monkey osteology. The osteometric investigation adds value to the gross morphological and radiological investigation, adjoining metric data to the gross descriptive data set. The main methodology used was the gross morphological investigation, doubled by regular osteometrical and radiographical assessments.

Background/objectives: Salter-Harris II (SH-II) distal tibia fractures are the most common physeal ankle fractures in children; however, indications for surgical management remain controversial, and patient-reported outcomes for different management strategies are unknown. The purpose of the current study is to compare differences in clinical and patient-reported outcomes following operative and non-operative management of this injury.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients who were treated at a single institution for SH-II distal tibia fractures between 2013 and 2020.
