In SCP children diagnosed with decreased dorsal ROM of the ankle joint, the commonly used measure (i.e. range of foot plate angle), is not a good estimate of rotation at the talocrural joint. since a sizable part of the movement of the foot (or foot plate) derives from internal deforma...
Although an analogous procedure is done for children, there are substantial differences between the two techniques which are related to the presence of growth plates, and the potential problem of stump overgrowth and pencilling. Fortunately, a true ankle disarticulation can usually be performed in ...
In varus cases (four limbs, four eight-Plates), the mechanical axis deviation improved by an average of 38.8 mm (range 0-74 mm). No hardware failures, extrusion, growth arrest, or other complications were observed. None of our patients required an osteotomy or repeat eight-Plate insertion. ...
