Structural deformities of the digits of the hand are common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A swan-neck deformity, typically defined as proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint hyperextension with concurrent distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint flexion, occurs in approximately 50% of patients with RA. However, swan-neck deformity is not unique to RA,...

Focal dome osteotomy for the correction of tibial deformity in children. Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics B. 14(5):340-346, September 2005. Dilawaiz Nadeem, R.; Quick, Thomas J.; Eastwood, Deborah M. Abstract: Tibial deformity in childhood often combines torsional and angular malalignment. A focal dome osteotomy was performed, proximally or distally, in 39 tibiae...

Madelung deformity (MD) of the wrist is characterized by a growth disturbance in the volar-ulnar distal radial physis that results in a volar and ulnar tilted distal radial articular surface, volar translation of the hand and wrist, and a dorsally prominent distal ulna. It occurs predominantly in adolescent females who...

Conclusions (1) Adolescent girls wearing the brace for idiopathic scoliosis of 25 to 40 degrees of Cobb angle, reveal smaller clinical rotational deformity...

Congenital deformities of the spine are caused by anomalous vertebral development in the embryo. Minor malformations of the spine are seldom apparent and often are identified only on routine chest films (see Image 1). The more severe congenital malformations that result in progressive scoliosis are even less common than are...

Boutonnière deformity (BD) can manifest acutely following trauma, but most BDs are found weeks following the injury or as the result of progressive arthritis. The proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the finger is flexed, and the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint is hyperextended (see Image 1). Treatment options depend partly on...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease that affects synovial tissue. The disease affects approximately 1% of the population, has a female predominance (female-to-male ratio of 2.5:1), and shows increased incidence with age.1 The clinical course of the disease is variable and ranges from mild, self-limited arthritis to a progressive...

There are multiple etiologies for tibial bowing (see Etiology). Tibial bowing specifically refers to bowing of the diaphysis of the tibia with the apex of the deformity directed anterolaterally, anteromedially, or posteromedially. Each type of bowing tends to have a classic etiology.
Anterolateral bowing is associated with pseudarthrosis of the tibia...
