Residual Clubfoot in Children

Michael G. Uglow; Harish V. Kurup

The deformities encountered in any patient who has residual clubfoot comprise various degrees of equinus, varus, adduction, supination, cavus, and toe deformity. Joint flexibility or stiffness, tarsal dysmorphism, articular incongruence, and progressive degrees of degeneration may be present. Add to this the scars of previous attempts at correction and various etiologic factors, and surgeons can find that treatment solutions are far from straightforward. A philosophy of careful history, examination, investigation, and surgery à la carte will provide a safe foundation for treating patients who have these often complex and difficult problems. A surgical strategy progressing from proximal to distal, performing soft tissue surgery before fixed deformity occurs, extra-articular osteotomies to correct bony deformity, and augmentation with rebalancing of soft tissue-deforming forces will help improve pain and function for many patients. Joint fusions should be reserved as a last salvage option to avoid future degeneration of adjacent joints.

Isolated posterior malleolus fracture: a rare injury mechanism

Harish V. Kurup; Prabhakar Rao

Isolated posterior malleolus fractures of the ankle are very rare, especially those without any associated ligamentous injury. The mechanism of injury is unique, and treatment depends on the displacement of the fracture and associated injuries. We present the case of a 46-year-old female car driver who sustained this injury. Axial loading of the plantar flexed foot most likely caused this fracture pattern. The fracture healed in 6 weeks with non-operative treatment in a below-knee plaster cast.RésuméLa fracture isolée de la malléole postérieure du tibia est extrêmement rare, surtout sans lésion ligamentaire associée. Le mécanisme causal est le plus souvent une compression sur un pied en flexion plantaire et le traitement dépend du déplacement et de l’existence de lésions associées. Nous rapportons un cas survenu chez une conductrice. La fracture a consolidé avec un traitement orthopédique par botte platrée pendant 6 semaines.

Bone allografting: an Indian experience

Harish V. Kurup; Prabhakar Rao; D. K. Patro

Freeze-drying is considered to be the best technique for allograft preparation and storage. This method is, however, unsuitable for use in developing countries due to high costs. Ethylene oxide sterilization is still controversial because of its effect on osteoinductive capacity. This study involved setting up a bone bank for the first time. Cancellous bone collected from 40 patients was cleaned thoroughly, chemically processed, and sterilized with ethylene oxide gas and stored doubly packed. The grafts were implanted in 11 patients with 14 nonunions. Patients were followed up clinically and radiologically. Thirteen sites were united at the end of 12 months, taking an average of 44.8 weeks to unite. Allograft was also used in 8 benign bone lesions, which showed incorporation of the graft by 29 weeks. This study shows cancellous allograft is suitable for packing cavities in the treatment of benign bone lesions and in treatment of nonunion. There was one deep infection. The low infection rate confirms the efficacy of ethylene oxide as a reliable option for sterilization of bone allograft, and it is also cost effective.RésuméLa congélation sèche est considéré comme la meilleure technique pour la préparation et le stockage des allogreffes. Cependant cette méthode est inapte pour les pays en voie de développement en raison des coûts élevés. La stérilisation à l’oxyde d’éthylène est encore controversée à cause de son effet sur l’osteoinductivité. De l’os spongieux de 40 patients a été collecté, nettoyé entièrement, traité chimiquement et stérilisé avec de l’oxyde d’éthylène gazeux puis entreposé sous double emballage. Les implantations ont été faites à 11 malades avec 14 non-consolidations. Les malades ont été suivis d’une manière clinique et radiologique. Treize sites étaient consolidés à 12 mois avec une moyenne de délai de 44,8 semaines. Ces allogreffes a aussi été utilisées dans 8 lésions osseuses bénignes qui ont montré une incorporation de la greffe à 29 semaines. Cette étude montre que les allogreffes spongieuses sont convenable pour combler des cavités dans le traitement de lésions bénignes aussi bien que dans le traitement des non-consolidations. Il y avait une infection profonde. Le faible taux de l’infection confirme l’efficacité de l’oxyde d’éthylène pour la stérilisation des allogreffes osseuses ce qui a, de plus, a un coût assez bas.

Bilateral asymmetrical Brodie’s abscess

Harish V. Kurup; Mike Uglow

Brodie’s abscess is a form of sub-acute pyogenic osteomyelitis. Most of them occur in the metaphysis and respond well to surgical curettage. We report the case of a 15-year-old boy with bilateral asymmetrical Brodie’s abscess of the distal tibia. On the left side, the abscess was purely metaphyseal, and on the right, it extended across the growth plate. We found that plain radiographs were unable to delineate the true anatomical extend of the lesion. MRI scans were done to aid in the pre-operative planning. We suggest that MRI is essential for the pre-operative planning of these rare lesions, as some of them can cross over to the epiphysis. We discuss the differential diagnosis and also present a review of the literature on Brodie’s abscess.RésuméL’abcès de Brodie est une forme d’ostéomyélite pyogénique subaiguë. La plupart d’entre eux se développent dans la métaphyse et répondent bien au curetage chirurgical. Nous rapportons le cas d’un garçon 15 ans avec un abcès de Brodie asymétrique bilatéral du tibia distal. Du côté droit l’abcès était purement métaphysaire et du côté gauche il se prolongeait à travers le cartilage de croissance. Nous avons constaté que les radiographies standard ne pouvaient pas montrer la véritable extension anatomique de la lésion. Des balayages IRM ont été faits pour faciliter la planification pré opératoire. Nous proposons que l’examen IRM soit essentiel pour la planification pré-opératoire de ces lésions rares, d’autant que certaines peuvent croiser l’épiphyse. Nous discutons le diagnostic différentiel et présentons une revue de la littérature de l’abcès de Brodie.
