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,...

Hammertoe deformity is the most common deformity of the lesser toes. It primarily comprises flexion deformity of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the toe, with hyperextension of the metatarsophalangeal...

Human fingernails, located on the dorsal aspect of the terminal 40% of the distal phalanx of each finger, are dynamic and physiologically important organs of the hand. Trauma to the fingertip and nail unit remains the most common of all hand injuries. The fingertip is one of the last anatomic...

Hallux valgus (HV), with its accompanying bunion, is a common deformity of the forefoot. Understanding and characterizing each component of the deformity is the key to treating it successfully. Many treatments have been proposed; the best choices are those that directly...

A scoliotic deformity on intervertebral discs may accelerate degeneration at a molecular level with the production of metalloproteinases (MMPs). In the present experimental study we evaluated the presence of MMP-1 immunohistochemically after application of asymmetric forces in a rat intervertebral disc and the impact of the degree of the deformity...

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...

Pes cavus is a high arch that does not flatten with weightbearing. No specific radiographic definition of cavus foot exists. The deformity can be located in the forefoot, midfoot, or hindfoot or in a combination...

Between 1990 and 2001, 24 children aged between 15 months and 11 years presented with late orthopaedic sequelae after meningococcal septicaemia. The median time to presentation was 32 months (12 to 119) after the acute phase of the disease. The reasons for referral included angular deformity, limb-length discrepancy, joint contracture...

We assessed patient function and satisfaction after a modified Cobb reconstruction in a group of patients with a narrow spectrum of tibialis posterior dysfunction (TPD), examined a modification of the Johnson and Strom classification to emphasize severity of deformity, and assessed the ability of the technique to prevent subsequent fixed...

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...

Between April 1979 and August 1993, we treated 39 patients (49 knees) with knee flexion deformity after Poliomyelitis. All were subjected to fractional hamstring lengthening and supracondylar femoral extension osteotomy in the same surgical procedure. The goal was to correct the deformity and fit the lower extremities in long braces...

Abstract The authors review the management of thoracolumbar kyphotic deformity in cases of achondroplasia. The presence of angular thoracolumbar kyphosis in achondroplasia is well recognized. In children this is initially a nonfixed deformity that persists, however, in more than 10% of...
