Aims. The aim of this study was to determine the association between knee alignment and the vertical orientation of the femoral neck in relation to the floor. This could be clinically important because changes of femoral neck orientation might alter chondral joint contact zones and joint reaction forces, potentially inducing problems like pain in pre-existing chondral degeneration. Further, the femoral neck orientation influences the ischiofemoral space and a small ischiofemoral distance can lead to impingement. We hypothesized that a valgus knee alignment is associated with a more vertical orientation of the femoral neck in standing position, compared to a varus knee. We further hypothesized that realignment surgery around the knee alters the vertical orientation of the femoral neck. Methods. Long-leg standing radiographs of patients undergoing realignment surgery around the knee were used. The hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) and the vertical orientation of the femoral neck in relation to the floor were measured, prior to surgery and after osteotomy-site-union. Linear regression was performed to determine the influence of knee alignment on the vertical orientation of the femoral neck. Results. The cohort included 147 patients who underwent knee realignment-surgery. The mean age was 51.5 years (SD 11). Overall, 106 patients underwent a valgisation-osteotomy, while 41 underwent varisation

Introduction: The mechanobiology and response of bone formation to strain under physiological loading is well established, however investigation into exceedingly soft scaffolds relative to cancellous bone is limited. In this study we designed and 3D printed mechanically-optimised low-stiffness implants, targeting specific strain ranges inducing bone formation and assessed their biological performance in a pre-clinical in vivo load-bearing tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) model. The TTA model provides an attractive pre-clinical framework to investigate implant osseointegration within an uneven loading environment due to the dominating patellar tendon force. A knee finite element model from ovine CT data was developed to determine physiological target strains from simulated TTA surgery. We 3D printed low-stiffness Ti wedge

Aims. Double-level lengthening, bone transport, and bifocal compression-distraction are commonly undertaken using Ilizarov or other fixators. We performed double-level fixator-assisted nailing, mainly for the correction of deformity and lengthening in the same segment, using a straight intramedullary nail to reduce the time in a fixator. Patients and Methods. A total of 23 patients underwent this surgery, involving 27 segments (23 femora and four tibiae), over a period of ten years. The most common indication was polio in ten segments and rickets in eight; 20 nails were inserted retrograde and seven antegrade. A total of 15 lengthenings were performed in 11 femora and four tibiae, and 12 double-level corrections of deformity without lengthening were performed in the femur. The mean follow-up was 4.9 years (1.1 to 11.4). Four patients with polio had tibial lengthening with arthrodesis of the ankle. We compared the length of time in a fixator and the external fixation index (EFI) with a control group of 27 patients (27 segments) who had double-level procedures with external fixation. The groups were matched for the gain in length, age, and level of difficulty score. Results. The mean gain in length was statistically similar in the two groups: 3.9 cm (1.5 to 9.0) in the study group and 4.2 cm (3.4 to 5.0) in the control group (p = 0.350). The mean time in a fixator was significantly less in the study group compared with the control group: 8.6 weeks (2.0 to 22.8) versus 30.2 weeks (25.0 to 35.4; p < 0.001). The mean EFI was significantly lower in the study group compared with the control group: 17.7 days/cm (10.6 to 35.6) versus 73.4 days/cm (44.5 to 102.3; p < 0.001). The ASAMI (Association for the Study and Application of the Method of Ilizarov) bone score was excellent in 22, good in four, and fair in one. The ASAMI functional score was excellent in 20 and good in seven. There were no infections, superficial or deep. Conclusion. Double-level
