The larger the maximum aperture, the greater the angle of coverage, and the higher the degree of correction aimed at, the more complex camera lenses become.
In musculotendinous lengthening, technique depends on muscle anatomy, degree of correction required, and the need to avoid excessive loss of force.
In these growing patients, the appropriate degree of correction could not be predicted.
The use of an Ilizarov frame depended on the surgeon's judgment intraoperatively, of the degree of correction achieved after soft tissue releases were completed.
Before completing the osteotomy, the plate to be used for fixation (7 8 holes femoral buttress condylar or humeral "T" plate) was contoured to the desired degree of correction.
Early and late postoperative mean degree of correction of HVA compared with preoperative 1 2.IMA was measured, and the results are presented in Table 2.
Hernigou calculated the base height of the triangular open wedge needed for correction in different types of tibial plateaus; for every degree of correction, a recommended width of the base of the open wedge was provided [34].
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree of correction and knee functional outcome after correction of frontal knee deformity using femoral supracondylar FDO fixed with plate and screws.
We feel that our procedure is a simple one, which helps to improve the degree of correction, avoid neurovascular complications and has the advantage of complete regeneration of the clavicle.
