In cases of correction of a varus deformity, the fibular osteotomy ends were displaced to allow correction of tibial varus deformity.
In case of no correction it will probably leads to secondary osteoarthritis when the cartilage lesion progress.
Combined high tibial osteotomy modification avoids metaphyseal tibial bone loss, decreasing transposition of the tibial condyle and shortening of the patellar tendon after osteotomy, even in case of great correction.
Statistical analysis was carried out with the STATA statistical package (version 9.0) [ 20], and P < 0.05 (or P < 0.05/number of comparisons in case of Bonferroni correction) was considered statistically significant.
This implies that a patient with both MCP and PIP joints of 2 fingers affected (which is not unusual in clinical practice) would require at least 4 0.58-mg injections given in 4 sessions at 1-month intervals, and additional sessions in case of inadequate correction.
Because the external fixator is not rigid, 5° of overcorrection reduces the failure rate in case of loss of correction [108].
In case of discrepancies, corrections were made after reviewing the original questionnaire forms.
The resulting error can be reduced by iterating the correction process in the case of correction of a single region, but not in the case of simultaneous measurement on several sub-regions with different aberrations unless aberrations are measured and corrected independently for each subregion.
In case of missing torque correction (see Fig. 6) the resulting magnetic variations appear as continuous pulsations, as are correctly indexed in Fig. 6.
From the comparison of the measured activity with the planned dose and its corresponding simulated activity distribution, conclusions on the delivered treatment will be inferred and, in case of significant deviations, correction strategies will be elaborated.
