The difference in the quantity of bone rotation in each direction in the current study was consistent with that observed by Blackman et al, and it was the smallest of the three studies.
Two additional K-wires were inserted into the proximal bone and parallel to the cutting plane, to set the angle of bone rotation (labeled A, B Fig. 4b) using a stainless steel angled jig.
56 Leg length asymmetries have also been associated with innominate bone rotation, anteriorly on the side of the shortened and posteriorly on the side of the lengthened limb 57.
Tsao J, Chiodo CP, Williamson DS, Wilson MG, Kikinis R. Computer-assisted quantification of periaxial bone rotation from X-ray CT.
Thus, to configure, for example, the movements of the fingers, it is necessary to define the parameters of location and rotation of each of these 15 bones.
Asymmetry of the heads of the second and fifth palm bones induces rotation of the articulated fingers during opposition with the thumb.
Segmental movements of each joint from non- to full-body-weight-bearing condition were calculated from the translations and rotations of each bone.
It consists of en bloc resection of the knee, bone shortening, and rotation of 180° to allow the ankle to function as a knee joint.
In accordance with a report by Kitaoka et al, rotation angles of each bone were defined relative to the three major axes of rotation for examination: plantarflexion/dorsiflexion, adduction/abduction and eversion/inversion.
Even though the prefixed IM could not provide rigid stabilization to the fractured bone, it could minimize the bone comminution during the fracture and at the same time could resolve the problem of post fracture limb shortening and rotation of bone fragments (Omerovic et al., 2015) in rats.
