As mentioned, an oblique single-cut rotation osteotomy (OSCRO) aims to correct rotational deformities and is limited in providing ulnoradial or volodorsal shifts.
The advantage of using an oblique single-cut rotation osteotomy is the correction of angular deformities in three dimensions while maintaining optimal bone contact.
Depending on the complexity of the malunion, patients were treated with an open-wedge osteotomy or an oblique single-cut rotation osteotomy (OSCRO) [14].
We performed an opening-wedge osteotomy on four patients, and the other four patients received an oblique single-cut rotation osteotomy (OSCRO).
In the case of an oblique single-cut rotation osteotomy (OSCRO), the guide was removed after the osteotomy and a stainless steel jig served to set the angle between the proximal and distal bone segment [14].
We describe preoperative 3-D planning and treatment of a complex tibia malunion using an oblique single-cut rotation osteotomy to correct deformity parameters in the sagittal, coronal and transverse plane.
In conclusion, this case report demonstrates that correction of a complex multidimensional deformity of a long bone is possible using relatively simple means by considering a preoperatively planned oblique single-cut rotation osteotomy.
An oblique single-cut rotation osteotomy (OSCRO) [2, 3] can correct malrotations in coronal, sagittal and transverse planes simultaneously by simply rotating the distal bone segment about a line perpendicular to the cutting plane.
In case of an oblique single-cut rotation osteotomy [14], the matrix is used to determine the orientation of the osteotomy and the rotation angle for aligning the distal and proximal bone segments.
Working with found photographs – often actors' portraits and film stills taken from the golden age of cinema – Stezaker manipulates them with cuts, rotations, removals and collaged elements, managing to invigorate images that were already compelling so that nearly every work in this exhibition has a tangible seductive force.
INSIDE PITCH After saying for days that the Yankees would cut their rotation to five from six, Joe Girardi and the Yankees' staff decided instead to stick with the six-man rotation for at least one more turn through.
