This may have been due to an inability to accurately measure the actual distal femoral deformity (LDFA) pre-operatively secondary to the large flexion deformity and dysplastic distal femur.
This work shows that an acute angular correction of a distal femoral deformity by FDO, via a postero-lateral approach, can be used to correct either a varus or valgus knee deformity.
Simulated modelling data for distal tibial deformity corrections are presented in Fig. 6.
This is similar to the descriptive term as used to describe a distal radius deformity.
The combination of the fracture and the physeal injury can result in leg length inequality and distal femoral deformity.
Traditionally, open wedge osteotomy is a commonly adapted procedure in correction of distal radius deformity [22, 23].
All control specimens were obtained from healthy young adults who met the same exclusion criteria undergoing first tarsometatarsal arthrodesis for distal hallux deformity via Lapidus fusion.
Residual distal radial deformity is one potential cause of DRUJ dysfunction; however, the parameters of distal radial fracture alignment that lead to an acceptable functional outcome are poorly defined in the literature.
Performing correction osteotomy with intramedullary nail fixation for post-traumatic distal radius deformity at an earlier stage may help prevent maladaptive soft-tissue contractures and arthrosis of the distal radio-ulnar joint [30].
