Purpose: High fibular osteotomy (HFO) is a simple surgical technique to reduce pain and improve function in patients with osteoarthritis via fibular osteotomy. We report short-term results of HFO and mesenchymal cell induced chondrogenesis (MCIC) for the treatment of osteoarthritis of knee with varus deformity.
Patients And Methods: 45 symptomatic patients with 14 males and 31 females age ranging from 40 to 75 years were treated by HFO and MCIC. Main lesions involved medial compartment of knee and lateral compartment with normal to mild lesions of lateral meniscus and articular cartilage, amenable to treatment via partial meniscectomy or observation.
Results: Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome score and Lysholm showed a statistically significant increase and VAS, varus angle in X-ray showed a statistically significant decrease. A statistically significant difference between preoperative and postoperative scores was detected in male and female patients without any sexual differences.
Conclusion: High fibular osteotomy and mesenchymal cell induced chondrogenesis can be considered as a good treatment option for medial compartment osteoarthritis of knee with varus deformity.

Objective: To explore weight-bearing stability of Pilon fracture fixed by external fixator.
Methods: Six ankle bone models (right side) and 4 pairs (8 ankle cadaver specimens) were selected. Pilon fracture model was prepared by using the preset osteotomy line based on Ruedi Allgower Pilon fracture type.

Free fibula flap has been a workhorse for head, neck, and extremity long bone defects. We discuss the reconstruction challenge in an unusual hand injury case involving the loss of multiple metacarpals and soft tissue with surprising preservation of finger vascularity. The reconstructive goals were addressed with a microvascular osteocutaneous fibula flap transfer with multiple osteotomies to create spitting images of metacarpals and soft tissue defects restored with the skin paddle.

A 57-year-old man presented with a tibial shaft fracture treated with tibial intramedullary nail fixation and plate and screw fixation for fibular fracture. Two weeks postoperatively, the patient developed skin sloughing with exposed bone and metal at the fracture site. Three weeks postoperatively, a physical examination revealed swelling of the left lateral malleolus and lower leg, a skin defect of approximately 3 × 5 cm at the lower third of the left tibia with an exposed fracture site and hardware in between the fracture fragments.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiologic outcomes following supramalleolar osteotomy for early varus ankle arthritis with the medial translation of the talus, wherein the lateral translation of the talus center to the tibial axis was used as a correction target. Another aim was to compare the results between the ankles with a normal range of medial distal tibial angle (MDTA) and overcorrected MDTA at the postoperative period to investigate the role of overcorrected MDTA after the supramalleolar osteotomy.
Methods: The study comprised 90 patients (93 ankles) with Takakura stage 2 or 3a varus ankle arthritis with the medial translation of the talus, which underwent medial opening supramalleolar osteotomy with fibular osteotomy, and the mean duration of follow-up was 50.

Introduction: Extra-articular deformity is that located proximal to the femoral epicondyles or distal to the neck of the fibula. In patients with gonarthrosis associated with extra-articular deformity, a different evaluation and approach will be necessary at the time of planning the arthroplasty. 3D planning and printing techniques have had a major impact on pre-operative planning, allowing the production of custom guides at low cost and in an accessible way.
