Introduction

Limb deformity is usually assessed clinically assisted by long leg alignment radiographs and further imaging modalities (MRI and CT). Often decisions are made based on static imaging and simple gait interpretation in clinic. We have assessed the value of gait lab analysis in surgical decision making comparing surgical planning pre and post gait lab assessment.

Materials & Methods

Patients were identified from the local limb reconstruction database. Patients were reviewed in the outpatient clinic and long leg alignment radiographs and a CT rotational limb profile were performed. A surgical plan was formulated and documented. All patients then underwent a formal gait lab analysis. The gait lab recommendations were then compared to the initial plan.

We report three cases of avulsion of the ischial tuberosity with marked chronic disability after delay in diagnosis and non-union of the fracture. All were treated by open reduction and internal fixation with return to full function, allowing in one case, athletic performances of Olympic standard. We also report one patient with an acute apophyseal avulsion treated by early reduction and internal fixation with restoration of full function.
