Osteotomy

Both re-directional and incomplete osteotomy techniques uniquely change acetabular coverage and volume when used for correction of acetabular dysplasia of the hip, according to recently presented results.

Despite higher interfragmentary strains placed on distal femur fractures when weight-bearing during early healing exceeds 20% of a patient’s body weight, fracture models showed the fractures can likely withstand increased loads.

Advanced Osteotomy Tools, a Swiss medical technology start-up, has announced CE certification of the cold ablation robot-guided laser osteotome, according to a press release.

Through modern implants and improved surgical techniques, surgeons are able to achieve improved outcomes with total ankle arthroplasty, including in patients with increasing levels of foot and ankle deformity.

Medial patellofemoral reconstruction with derotational distal femoral osteotomy yielded favorable subjective and objective outcomes among patients with recurrent patellar dislocation and increased femoral anteversion, according to results.

A foot and ankle surgeon at Cedars Sinai Medical Center presented his technique for surgical intervention of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease at the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society Annual Meeting. The meeting was held virtually.

Published results showed changes in patella tilt, patella engagement and the tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance after derotational femoral osteotomy.

Published results showed patients who underwent lateral total ankle arthroplasty with long oblique fibular osteotomy experienced excellent 2-year survival rates with good clinical and radiographic outcomes and decreased rates of wound complications and symptoms related to the fibular implant.

Published results showed similar outcomes in regard to strength and stability among different subtrochanteric osteotomy types and graft sites.

According to a recently published study, high accuracy of the preoperatively planned osteotomy angle for anteromedialization tibial tubercle osteotomy may be achieved without the use of calibrated guides.
