These include distal, mid, and proximal first metatarsal osteotomies, Lapidus-type procedures and Cotton (dorsal opening-wedge) osteotomy of the first cuneiform.1,4 The results of these types of procedures are currently evidence Level IV. Randomized study of various procedures including comparing ...
The distal femoral opening-wedge osteotomy exposure should be performed first; this begins with a lateral incision starting just proximal to the Gerdy tubercle and extending 10 cm proximal.This incision should be centered over the inferior third of the iliotibial band to allow for the best approach...
Even when the femur is not osteoporotic, the tightening procedure of the TLS can generate an LHF with medial translation when it is inserted perpendicular to the plate (Fig 8 A and B). A more perpendicular insertion to the oblique osteotomy line, which aims for the far more proximal cortex...
Aim of the work: To evaluate the results of hallux valgus surgery combining the distal soft tissue reconstruction (DSTR) or modified McBride procedure and proximal closing wedge osteotomy of the first metatarsal base. Patients and methods: This prospective study, was performed in King Abdul-Aziz ...
For proximal gastric cancers, many surgeons prefer a total gastrectomy over a proximal gastrectomy owing to the long-term sequelae of symptomatic acid reflux with the latter procedure. The extent of lymph node dissection is one of the most controversial issues in the management of gastric cancer. ...
MNs had fairly straight dendrites with small numbers of mainly proximal branches that exhibited acute branch angles, leaving large areas around the cells with no dendrites. MNs in the same group of pools showed similar morphologies, but there were clear differences among groups. Forearm MNs (n ...

[24] compared medial open wedge osteotomies that were either distal or proximal to the tuberosity and found that PF contact stress was significantly lower in the distal osteotomy group. The osteotomy site in the modified CWHTO procedure was distal to the tuberosity. The difference in the IS ...

Throughout this description, the term “proximal” refers to the portion of the device closest to the operator and the term “distal” refers to the portion of the device furthest from the operator. FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate one example of a commonly used surgical stapling device. Referring ...
