These images are of a 13-year-old male presented with a progressive right leg valgus deformity and associated leg length discrepancy of 7mm as a result of a distal femur physeal fracture (Salter-Harris Type 6). Partial lateral physeal arrest was confirmed with an MRI. An acute correction distal femoral osteotomy was performed with varus, extension, and lateral translation. Restoration of normal mechanical axis was confirmed using the Bovie cord test. The osteotomy was augmented with tricortical iliac crest allograft. A simultaneous physeal bar resection was performed. Fixation was accomplished with a 4.5mm Distal Femoral Locking Plate with zero offset and 5° flare from the WishBone Medical PRIMA system. At the 10-week follow-up, the patient had regained full ROM and normal gait without a limp.

Comparing fracture toughness: Ti6Al4V (Gr.5) vs. Ti6Al4V (Gr.5) ELI Due to the low presence of interstitial elements in Ti6Al4V (Gr.5) ELI, it is less likely to propagate cracks, resulting in higher fracture toughness compared to Ti6Al4V (Gr.5). The significance of fracture toughness in bone implants lies in its ability to prolong implant lifespan, thereby reducing the need for frequent replacements. This ensures sustained functionality in diverse stress environments, ultimately contributing to enhanced patient well-being and orthopedic treatment effectiveness. Stay tuned for our upcoming post where we discuss another important mechanical parameter required in the medical industry, i.e., Fatigue Strength.

Lots of interesting orthopedic tidbits today! Our new friend attached to this Xray came in for a second opinion after an unsuccessful PRP procedure for shoulder pain. She did not proceed with their recommendation for a series of two more injections to fix her shoulder looseness. This is her xray on presentation. I looked at it....hmmmm. The history? "Shoulder pops out with every deep breath (literally)". Needless to say the PE and the Beighton score all matched. Moral: #1 PRP probably not the right choice for this shoulder instability. #2 I always need to see the xrays/films and not just a report. #3 I need to be aware of the limitations of PRP/BMC/Adipose so patients can get an truly "informed" consent prior to a procedure. Plan: MRI and likely bony + soft tissue reconstruction of her instability.

ASOM-4 Orthopedic Spine Surgical Microscopes With Motorized Zoom And Focus This apparatus is outfitted with two Halogen lamps that have a high color rendering index (CRI) of greater than 85, making them an excellent backup source of light for surgical procedures. The device also features a motorized focusing mechanism, which can be controlled using a footswitch to achieve a 50mm focusing distance. Additionally, the head component of this equipment can be moved in the X-Y direction using a footswitch-controlled motorized mechanism. Stepless magnifications: Motorized 4.5-27.3x , which can meet the use habits of different doctors. https://lnkd.in/gs9R2yFi #OphthalmicMicroscope #medicaldevices #microscope #Corder #restorative

Interesting case: 70 years old man. Motorcycle accident at the age of 18: fracture of femur and acetabulum (ORIF), and proximal leg fracture + partial damage to the common fibular nerve. Orthopedic treatment of leg fracture, and evolution towards a "stable" pseudarthrosis. Progressive valgus deformation and destabilization of the pseudarthrosis site which becomes mobile.

The absolute best in class. Everything you need for a distal femur periorosthetic fracture.
Complexity Meets Ingenuity Globus Medical's Ortho Trauma division offers a comprehensive solution for distal femoral fractures that allows for hybrid fixation options with nails, plates, and cables. When a total hip arthroplasty is present and the fracture is distal to the stem, Globus has options for fixation around the prosthesis. Periprosthetic implant options are also available for clinical scenarios in which a knee arthroplasty is present. The periprosthetic bend option in the retrograde nail allows for treatment of fractures where there is no stem present in the total knee arthroplasty. The 3-hole pattern in the broad lateral plate facilitates targeted placement of anterior and posterior shaft screws around a total hip or total knee prothesis.
