Residual Deformity Correction Post External Fixation
Score and Comment on this Case
Clinical Details
Clinical and radiological findings: A patient presented with residual deformity and pain on ambulation following previous external fixation. The initial clinical evaluation revealed persistent deformity, which was confirmed through radiological assessment. Specific details regarding the fracture type or location were not provided, but the presence of residual deformity suggests a malunion or nonunion.
Preoperative Plan
Planning remarks: The preoperative plan involved the use of advanced imaging techniques, possibly including Bone Ninja surgical planning software, to assess the deformity and plan corrective osteotomy. The anatomical approach would be determined based on the location of the deformity, likely involving a direct approach to the affected bone segment.
Surgical Discussion
Patient positioning: Not specified.
Anatomical surgical approach: The surgical approach would involve a direct incision over the affected bone segment, with careful dissection to expose the site of deformity. Osteotomy would be performed to correct alignment, followed by stabilization with internal fixation.
Operative remarks:Not specified.
Postoperative protocol: Postoperative rehabilitation would likely include initial immobilization followed by gradual weight-bearing as tolerated. Physical therapy would focus on restoring range of motion and strength.
Follow up: Not specified.
Orthopaedic implants used: Not specified.
