Calcaneal cuboid joint motion and osteotomy stability in children one year after calcaneal lengthening osteotomy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Flexible pes planovalgus in children may be corrected with a calcaneal lengthening osteotomy (CLO).However, CLO surgery may displace the distal calcaneal fragment dorsally and affect the motion in the calcaneal-cuboid joint (CCJ). We used radiostereometric analysis (RSA) to evaluate CCJ motion and CLO stability in children one year after CLO.

Methods

Ten patients (10 feet) with symptomatic flexible pes planovalgus were investigated one year after CLO. Mean age was 11.5 years (range 8.2-14.2). Standardised RSA measurements of the foot were obtained one year after surgery without and with weight-bearing (single leg stance). Tantalum markers inserted during surgery, were used to described the CCJ motion as cuboid bone motion with respect to the distal calcaneus, and the CLO stability as distal calcaneal migration with respect to the proximal calcaneus.

Results

One year after surgery the CLO was stable. The motion in the CCJ upon full weight-bearing was mean -1.04 mm (CI95% -1.40; -0.67) joint distraction, mean 2.27 mm (CI95% 1.57; 2.96) cuboid dorsal translation, mean -1.94 mm (CI 95% -2.68; -1.20) cuboid medial translation, and mean 7.43° (CI 95% 3.97; 10.88) adduction.

Conclusion

The motion in the CCJ of children with CLO corrections for pes planovalgus is similar to that of adults during stance load with a normal foot posture and the patients were asymptomatic. Marker-based RSA may be used to evaluate causalities of foot symptoms after CLO surgery.

Calcaneal lengthening for the pes planovalgus foot deformity in children with cerebral palsy.

Project description:PurposeThe objective of this study was to evaluate the operative management of pes planovalgus deformity in ambulatory cerebral palsy (CP) children by calcaneal lengthening osteotomy described by Evans.MethodFifteen children (10 girls and 5 boys) with average age 11 years 6 months (range, 8 years 4 months-14 years 6 months) with 22 feet with pes planovalgus (PPV) deformity were included in this study. Clinical evaluation was made according to Dogan's scale and graded as perfect, good, fair and poor. Preoperative and postoperative radiological assessment of anteroposterior talo-first metatarsal angle (AP-T1MT), anteroposterior talo-calcaneal angle (AP-TC), laterl Talo-first metatarsal angle (Lat. T1MT), lateral Talo-calcaneal angle (Lat. TC), and lateral Calcaneal pitch angle (Lat. CP) had been done for all feet. All feet were corrected with the modification of the calcaneal lengthening osteotomy described by Mosca.ResultClinical results were perfect in 18 feet (82%), good in 2 feet (9%) and fair in 2 feet (9%). Radiological results showed improvement in 20 feet, while 2 feet showed no improvement. The improvement was significant in Lat. T1MT (P ‹ 0.001), AP-T1MT (P < 0.05)., AP-TC and Lat. CP (P < 0.001, <0.001 respectively) whereas it was insignificant in Lat. TC (P > 0.05).ConclusionThe results of the present study showed that the procedure reliably relieves pain in PPV foot in CP children and proved effective in addressing all components of the deformity in both hindfoot and forefoot clinically and Radiologically.

Anatomical Study of the Cuboid and Its Ligamentous Attachments and Its Implications for a Cuboid Osteotomy.

Project description:BackgroundLateral column lengthening (LCL) for flexible flatfoot is an effective surgery with powerful correction of deformity because it tightens only the lateral third of the long plantar ligament (LPL). However, LCL has been associated with joint damage at the osteotomy site and loss of foot flexibility owing to joint fixation. We focused on the cuboid and investigate a novel anatomical LCL osteotomy site that effectively tightens the LPL without damaging any joints.MethodsWe studied 24 feet of 12 cadavers (mean age, 80.8 years). The lengths of the LPL and short plantar ligament, locations of the attachments, and shape and location of the cuneocuboid joint on the medial side of the cuboid were studied. ImageJ software was used to measure the osteotomy angle.ResultsThe lateral cuboid attachment of the LPL on average was located 4.6 mm from the calcaneocuboid joint, and the cuneocuboid joint on average was located 6.7 mm from the cuboid-metatarsal joint on the medial surface of the cuboid. The direct line connecting the anterior cuneocuboid joint and the oblique crest of the cuboid on average was at a 10.3-degree inclination posterior to the cuboid-metatarsal joint.ConclusionA straight line must be selected between a point 4 mm from the calcaneocuboid joint laterally and 6 mm from the cuboid-metatarsal joint medially at a 10-degree posterior tilt to the cuboid-metatarsal joint to perform a cuboid osteotomy LCL without damaging the articular surface.Clinical relevanceWe investigated a potential novel cuboid osteotomy method for LCL.

Can selective soft tissue release and cuboid osteotomy correct neglected clubfoot?

Project description:BackgroundNeglected clubfoot in older children is characterized by a stiff, nonreducible deformity with relative elongation of the lateral column of the foot with respect to the medial column. Surgical correction often has involved a double osteotomy with elongation of the medial column and shortening of the lateral column, or the use of an external fixator to achieve more gradual correction. Both approaches have shortcomings.Questions/purposesWe therefore (1) used objective physical examination measurements and a functional assessment to evaluate the effectiveness of cuboid osteotomy combined with a selective soft tissue release to achieve correction of neglected clubfoot in older children, (2) determined the rate of complications, and (3) ascertained whether the initial correction achieved was maintained.MethodsWe reviewed 31 patients (56 feet) older than 5 years with severe, neglected nonreducible clubfoot deformity who underwent the index procedure. Minimum followup was 2 years (average, 6 years; range, 2-9 years). Postoperatively, the Laaveg and Ponseti classification and Dimeglio score were used to grade correction. Complication rates were tallied.ResultsAccording to the Laaveg and Ponseti classification, 24 feet showed excellent correction, 20 good, nine fair, and three poor at 1-year followup. These results were maintained up to the latest followup. Patients showed significant improvement of Dimeglio score after surgery (p < 0.0001). Two patients had postoperative skin-related complications that healed without additional surgery.ConclusionsCuboid subtraction osteotomy combined with posteromedial release is an effective approach to manage a stiff nonreducible neglected clubfoot deformity in older children.

Transpedicle osteotomy positioning in pedicle-lengthening laminoplasty.

Project description:Pedicle-lengthening laminoplasty is a new minimally invasive technique for surgical treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis. The procedure is performed with the assistance of fluoroscopy and involves creating a pedicle passage, transpedicle osteotomy from inside the pedicle passage and lengthening it by using an implant bilaterally to enlarge the spinal canal and neural foramen. A critical component of the procedure is the precise determination of the osteotomy site on the pedicle. The objective of this study was to examine in vitro whether fluoroscopic positioning could be used to guide the osteotomy and to define the cutting site in the pedicle-lengthening laminoplasty in relation to the posterior vertebral line. It was found that the osteotomy site was from 2.0 to 3.5 mm posterior to the posterior vertebral line. The maximum difference between the measured value and that theoretically simulated on 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomography reconstruction was 0.3 mm. The spinal canal cross-sectional area was significantly enlarged after pedicle-lengthening. Accurate placement of the osteotomy is critical in pedicle-lengthening laminoplasty. Guiding the positioning of the osteotomy based on the posterior vertebral line images provides satisfactory accuracy, suggesting a possible clinical application for our technique; however, further verification in vivo is needed.

One-stage Surgical Treatment of Simultaneous Osteotomy and Asymmetric Lengthening on Short Femur with Severe Deformity of Genu Valgus.

Project description:This study aimed to discuss the effects of one stage surgical treatment by simultaneous osteotomy and asymmetric lengthening by Ilizarov external fixator on short femur with severe deformity of genu valgus. A total of 12 cases with unilateral deformities treated by simultaneous osteotomy and Ilizarov asymmetric lengthening on short femur with severe deformity of genu valgus were retrospectively analyzed from January 2006 to April 2015. The affected limbs were 2.5-11 cm (5.2 cm on average) short, the femorotibial angle was 135°-158° (146.3° on average), and the ankle interval was 15-43 cm (24.7 cm on average). The Paley method was used to determine the osteotomy plane (distal femur) of genu valgus. According to this standard, the bone union results were as follows: 11 had excellent and 1 had good, where 7 patients had excellent and 5 had good functional outcomes. One stage surgical treatment by simultaneous osteotomy and asymmetric lengthening on short femur with severe deformity of genu valgus was considered to be an effective and reliable method with better osteotomy union, less trauma and fewer complications.

Biomechanical investigation of pelvic stability in developmental dysplasia of the hip: unilateral salter osteotomy versus one-stage bilateral salter osteotomy.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common disease in infants and children, and the treatment of bilateral DDH remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the stability of one-stage bilateral Salter pelvic osteotomy for bilateral DDH in patients of walking age. METHODS:In total, nine child cadavers aged 2-6 years were included. A universal mechanical testing machine was used for stability test. We performed two different surgical procedures on the specimens: nine child cadavers underwent unilateral Salter pelvic osteotomy, and six child cadavers were randomly selected to undergo Salter pelvic osteotomy again to simulate one-stage bilateral Salter pelvic osteotomy. The stability of the bilateral sacroiliac joints, local stability of the operation area, ultimate load test, and axial stiffness were evaluated. RESULTS:Both unilateral and bilateral Salter osteotomy could destroy the integrity of the pelvic ring and increase the risk of pelvic instability. In this study, compared with unilateral Salter osteotomy, bilateral Salter osteotomy had similar pelvic stability, and there was no significant difference between unilateral and bilateral Salter osteotomy in sacroiliac joint stability (p > 0.05), local stability (p = 0.763), ultimate load (p = 0.328), and axial stiffness (p = 0.480). CONCLUSIONS:One-stage bilateral Salter pelvic osteotomy as a potential surgical method is viable and stable for children with bilateral DDH.

Cost of Headless vs Headed Screw Fixation for Calcaneal Osteotomy and Subtalar Arthrodesis.

Project description:BackgroundScrew head prominence in the heel following fixation for calcaneal osteotomy or subtalar arthrodesis has resulted in high rates of symptomatic hardware and screw removal. A cost analysis was performed to determine the financial implications of screw removal. Furthermore, we compared the rate of nonunion following fixation.MethodsCurrent Procedural Terminology codes were used to identify all patients who had a subtalar arthrodesis or calcaneal osteotomy (with screw fixation) performed between 2010 and 2016. The cohort was divided into 2 groups: 7.0-mm headless screw or 6.7-mm headed screw. The primary outcome measure was the rate of symptomatic screw removal. Secondary outcomes included the rate of nonunion. The expense associated with symptomatic hardware removal was determined by cost analysis.ResultsSeventy-six patients underwent headless screw fixation, and 2 patients (2.6%) required screw removal. Fifty-four patients underwent headed screw fixation and 12 patients (22.2%) required screw removal. Symptomatic hardware removal was performed more frequently in the headed screw group (P < .001). There was no difference in the rate of nonunion after subtalar arthrodesis between the 2 groups (P = .363). The calcaneal osteotomy united in 100% of patients. There was a $51 755 cost savings per 100 cases using headless screw fixation.ConclusionThe rate of symptomatic screw removal was lower with headless screw fixation. The calcaneal osteotomy healed in 100% of patients, and there was no difference in the rate of subtalar nonunion between the 2 groups. Cost analysis demonstrated a significant benefit when the expense of hardware removal was considered.Level of evidenceLevel III, retrospective cohort study.

Si nanocrystal solution with stability for one year.

Project description:Colloidal silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) are a promising material for next-generation nanostructured devices. High-stability SiNC solutions are required for practical use as well as studies on the properties of SiNC. Here, we show a solution of SiNCs that was stable for one year without aggregation. The stable solution was synthesized by a facile process, i.e., pulsed laser ablation of a Si wafer in isopropyl alcohol (IPA). The long-term stability was due to a large ζ-potential of -50 mV from a SiNC passivation layer composed of oxygen, hydrogen, and alkane groups, according to the results of eight experiments and theoretical calculations. This passivation layer also resulted in good performance as an additive for a conductive polymer film. Namely, a 5-fold enhancement in carrier density was established by the addition of SiNCs into an organic conductive polymer, poly(3-dodecylthiophene), which is useful for solar cells. Furthermore, it was found that fresh (<1 day) and aged (4 months) SiNCs give the same enhancement. The long-term stability was attributed to a great repulsive energy in IPA, whose value was quantified as a function the distance between SiNCs.

The incision strategy for minimizing sural nerve injury in medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy: a cadaveric study.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The skin incision for medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy (MDCO) often damages the sural nerve. We aimed to identify the practical reference area in which the surgeon can incise the skin to minimize the injury of the sural nerve during MDCO. METHODS:The foot and ankles of 20 cadavers were dissected. The landmarks were the following four anatomical references: point A, the tip of the lateral malleolus; point B, the inferior margin of the calcaneus on the vertical line through point A; point C, the posteroinferior apex of the calcaneus; and point D, the lateral border of the Achilles tendon on the horizontal line through point A. The distances from the sural nerve to points A and B in the vertical direction (lines D1 and D2, respectively), to points A and C in the diagonal direction (lines D3 and D4, respectively), and to points A and D in the horizontal direction (lines D5 and D6, respectively) were measured. RESULTS:The median ratios of D1 to D1+D2, D3 to D3+D4, and D5 to D5+D6 were 0.34 (range 0.25 to 0.45), 0.23 (range 0.16 to 0.33), and 0.38 (range 0.26 to 0.50), respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The distance ratios according to easily identifiable references would be a more practical incision strategy for surgeons to minimize sural nerve injury in both open and minimally invasive/percutaneous MDCO.
