Limb reconstruction surgery, developed on the science of tissue regeneration through distraction [1, 2, 3, 4], has become invaluable in the treatment of limb length discrepancies, angular limb deformities, recalcitrant bone infections, fracture non-unions and complex limb deformities.
The versatility of the current external fixation systems makes possible to perform such acts on a single-stage fashion, allowing the correction of angular deformities and discrepancies in length with a lower complication rate.
Disturbed physeal growth as a result of acute growth plate injury can result in limb length discrepancy, angular deformity, or altered joint mechanics [ 90].
58 answered the questionnaire, which was designed to collect memories concerning their treatment and subjective results including perceived leg-length discrepancy, angular deformities, and possible symptoms.
The valgus osteotomy produced a reduction in leg length discrepancy, but 3 patients required a distal femoral osteotomy to address additional length discrepancies and angular deformities near the knee.
Raab et al. (2001) found no cases of deep infection after Blount's stapling for correction of length discrepancies and angular deformities of the leg in 48 patients.
Growth plate injury in children could produce limb length discrepancy and angular deformity.
The masses of the original planets (see protoplanet) were assumed to be larger than in the earlier version of the theory, and the apparent discrepancy in angular momentum was attributed to magnetic forces connecting the Sun and planets.
This can lead to a leg length discrepancy with angular deformity.
As there is a tendency for unilateral involvement, asymmetry from limb length discrepancy and angular deformity is apparent.
