The premier collaborative platform for surgeons

A novel “Precision technique” for preoperative planning of tibial slope correction osteotomy. High Tibial Osteotomy and Tibial Slope Correction Osteotomy requires precise preoperative planning. Tibial slope measurement and a slope correction osteotomy therefore requires planning without errors. Currently utilised preoperative planning techniques for slope correction are not very accurate. These can lead to errors in surgical correction and therefore impact the results. This novel “Precision technique” of planning overcomes errors in planning of the current traditional technique. It gives us the precise osteotomy correction angle by a simple measuring technique. The open access article which is attached highlights and gives all details of this novel technique. It can help one plan precisely, for accurate corrections to get the desired results. Link to the article - https://lnkd.in/gPuwrymD

Lateral Hip Pain After Femoral Neck Fixation: What’s the Next Step? A patient presented after successful healing of an impacted femoral neck fracture treated by outside surgeon 5 years ago with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. The fracture is healed—but now they’re dealing with persistent lateral hip pain. On exam: focal tenderness over the lateral screw heads. This is a scenario many of us see. Read more

❓For Lisfranc injury in younger patients, which fixation method do you prefer, transarticular screws with early removal, or a bridging plate construct?

Bilateral bunions?

This young patient was 6 months out from my treatment of an open pilon fracture, presenting with pain and swelling. The soft tissues were in good condition. There were no signs of infection and labs were normal. Images showed callus but also loss of coronal alignment, nonunion, and broken implants. The injury and immediate postop films are available for review. Step 1: Is this an extra-articular or intra-articular problem? This one has a healed joint and is an extra-articular issue. Step 2: Mechanical or biologic problem? Primarily a mechanical problem. - Uni-columnar bridge plate likely insufficient to last for the entire duration of healing. - Progressive loss of coronal alignment worsened the environment The biology was affected by initial injury but presence of callus and hypertrophic nonunion suggests it is not the dominant issue Treatment strategy: - Remove failed implants - Restore alignment with a medially based frame Stabilize with medullary nail Reaming stimulated the biology, but the key intervention is mechanical optimization This led to reliable healing in this case. In my experience, medullary nailing with realignment is an excellent option for hypertrophic extra-articular pilon nonunion. What are your thoughts on this problem? Do you like medullary nailing? Any other good treatment options?
