New publication in Journal of Orthopaedics about our experience treating from

In it we are outlining our decision making tree treating 3 main areas of problems:
- Bone defects and non unions
- soft tissue problems
- infectious complications

in collaboration with

Prophylactic common peroneal neurolysis .

- prevents traction neurapraxia in severe genu valgum, flexion deformity or rotational corrections

- can be performed for treatment of post surgical or post traumatic drop foot, common peroneal neuropathy

3 structures to release:

1 - floor and aponeurosis of the lateral compartment
2 - fascia of the thigh
3 - inter muscular septum between lateral and anterior compartments

Thank you Alvien Lee our media specialist for the video editing!

and I are proud to present our preliminary results for Outpatient Femoral Lengthening Osteoplasties using Magnetic Intramedullary Lengthening Nails (MILN) In Journal of Orthopaedics .

Outpatient femoral lengthening is not only safe and reproducible, it also greatly decreases the cost of procedure for the system. Stay tuned for the next step in this series…

We are proud to pioneer the outpatient surgery revolution in Limb Lengthening.

Complications of Cosmetic Limb Lengthening - Case #2 When Tibia Lengthening goes south

This is a gentleman who underwent bilateral tibia lengthening 6 months prior in another practice. It resulted in severe apex anterior deformity and leg length discrepancies which rendered him unable to walk.

Surgeons, residents: What are the different causes that led to the deformity in the first place ?

3 failed exchange nailings and 2 broken tibial tuberosities later, he reached out to us to attempt to solve the issue.

We chose to use the still-flexible regenerate and apply two computerized circular external fixators to correct the multi planar deformity.
and I were prepared to perform a new osteotomy if the regenerate didn’t move.

We were able to correct the deformity, allow immediate weight bearing, and let the regenerates heal. Upon removal of the right fixation, decision was made to reinforce the tibia with a nail.

Internal tibia lengthening surgery is extremely technically challenging and should not be taken lightly. The slightest technical mistake can lead to serious complications.

What caused the initial deformities and what could have been done to prevent them?

This is a healthy 35 year old man who had been suffering with his whole life. He recently developed intractable medial .

MAP the ABC analysis of his deformity shows a metaphyso-diaphyseal apex.
Fixator assisted nailing was chosen to restore a neutral alignment.

16 Year old boy with a history of growth arrest to the left distal femur.

He developed a 45mm (almost 2-inch) leg length discrepancy

After undergoing a successful 45mm femoral lengthening using , he can now walk normally without shoe-lift!

thank you to my patient for this beautiful Anime version of

This is a beautiful 26 year old woman who had been suffering from knee pain from .

She was also very self conscious from the looks of her legs and decided to feed 2 birds with 1 scone

We performed staged bilateral lateral distal femoral open wedge (DFO) and plating.

⏳Last week I posted an example of of knee and retroversion correction treated with a single distal femoral and retrograde nail fixation.

😵However it can be technically very difficult to achieve an accurate result for both corrections at once,

This beautiful 30 year old woman suffered from 10 degrees of excessive femoral and hip pain, with 8 degrees of

Using a proximal diaphyseal derotational osteotomy and a separate distal femoral open wedge osteotomy is a great solution to perform each correction accurately.

🤩 3 months later she feels great, her and have disappeared…

💃🏾and let’s not forget what a beneficial impact it has on self body image👸🏽!
