Untill recently, major reduction defects of the tibia were treated by amputation and prosthetic fitting. However, Wada et al (1) and Weber (2) recently reported impressive results of limb reconstruction in children with tibial aplasia. If an attempt is being made to reconstruct the leg and foot, a clear understanding of the nature of anomalies is necessary. A retrospective study of case records and radiographs of children with
Morphological abnormalities are present in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). We studied and compared the pelvic anatomy and morphology between the affected hemipelvis with the unaffected side in patients with unilateral Crowe type IV DDH using 3D imaging and analysis. A total of 20 patients with unilateral Crowe-IV DDH were included in the study. The contralateral side was considered normal in all patients. A coordinate system based on the sacral base (SB) in a reconstructed pelvic model was established. The pelvic orientations (tilt, rotation, and obliquity) of the affected side were assessed by establishing a virtual anterior pelvic plane (APP). The bilateral coordinates of the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the centres of hip rotation were established, and parameters concerning size and volume were compared for both sides of the pelvis.Aims

Malformation and hypoplasia of the clavicle can result in pain, impaired function, restricted shoulder movement, subjective feeling of instability and cosmetic deformity. There are no reports of clavicle lengthening by osteotomy and distraction osteogenesis (DO). This is a retrospective review of 5 patients (7 clavicles) who underwent clavicle lengthening by DO using a monolateral external fixator for clavicular hypoplasia. There were 3 males and 2 females with mean age 15 years (9 to 23) and mean follow-up 21 months (8 to 51). Preoperative diagnoses included Klippel-Feil syndrome, cleidocranial dysplasia with torticollis,

Background:
A few points in this report deserve to be stressed. Indications–It is important that the orthopaedic surgeon should decide at a very early stage which of the two methods, closed or open, he must use. These do not exclude each other but are on the other hand complementary. Nowadays the dislocated hip can be reduced by open operation with a very good chance of lasting success. This should be carried out if a hip cannot easily be reduced otherwise, or if there is any doubt that closed reduction has been successful–and as early as possible, preferably before the age of three years. Technique–Ample exposure of the joint and removal of all obstacles to reduction are important. Reduction must be complete and stable but without stress, and there must be no interference with the articular bone and cartilage. After-care–Reduction, however perfect, is only the first step towards recovery. The hip must be observed carefully and the most suitable moments for mobilisation and for walking must be chosen; this calls for nice judgment. When it is clear that the roof of the acetabulum is not developing or that persistent valgus and anteversion may encourage subluxation, a secondary operation should be undertaken at once. Radiography is necessary about every three months for the first two years. Assessment of results–With a strict system of assessment, like McFarland's, we have observed 68·3 per cent favourable results in 171 hips treated by open reduction. It is obvious that the problem of
