Madelung deformity is a rare wrist malformation caused by a growth disturbance of the palmar and ulnar part of the distal radial physis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of radial dome osteotomy in patients affected by Madelung deformity. The endpoint of this operation is to improve the orientation of the articular surface of the radius, so as to support to the carpal bones. Between 2017 and 2019, in our clinic, 4patients were treated using this technique. Post-operative pain was evaluated using the NRS. Functional outcomes were assessed through evaluation of ROM, grip strength via Jamar dynamometer and using DASH questionnaire. The aesthetic defects were estimated using a section of the Michigan Hand Outcome Questionnaire. Correction of deformities was evaluated on post-operative RX using McCarrol Criteria. Were also analyzed the accuracy and tolerance of the plates used.

Background No detailed comparative studies have been performed regarding plantar pressure changes between proximal dome and distal chevron osteotomies. This study aimed to compare radiographic and plantar pressure changes after distal chevron and proximal dome osteotomies and to investigate the effect of radiographic and plantar pressure changes on clinical outcomes. Methods This study included 26 and 22 patients who underwent distal chevron and proximal dome osteotomies, respectively. Visual analog scale (VAS) and American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) forefoot scores were used to evaluate pain and functional outcomes. Hallux valgus angle, intermetatarsal angle, talar–first metatarsal angle, and calcaneal inclination angle were measured in the evaluation of radiographic outcomes. Preoperative and postoperative plantar pressure changes were evaluated. Results There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in age, body mass index, or AOFAS forefoot and VAS scores. In the proximal dome group, the pressure measurement showed significant lateralization of the maximal anterior pressure point in the forefoot (P < .001). In addition, the postoperative calcaneal inclination angle was significantly lower (P = .004) and the talar–first metatarsal angle was significantly higher (P < .001) in the proximal dome group. Postoperative transfer metatarsalgia was observed in one patient (3.8%) in the distal chevron group and five (22.7%) in the proximal dome group (P < .05). Conclusions Proximal dome osteotomy led to more lateralization of the maximum anterior pressure point, decreased calcaneal inclination angle and first metatarsal elevation, and related higher transfer metatarsalgia.

Abstract Background Evidence in literature about the best reconstructive approach after melanoma resection is controversial, with some authors advocating that tissue rearrangement flap techniques might hinder the early detection of local relapses. The aim of the present study is to evaluate oncological, aesthetic, and functional outcomes following melanoma reconstruction using pedicled perforator-based flaps. Methods The authors reviewed all patients affected by melanoma treated during a 6-year period. Demographic data, tumor characteristics, and operative variables were evaluated. Locoregional recurrence was assessed with clinical and radiological follow-up. One-year postoperatively patients rated on a 5-point Likert scale the aesthetic and functional outcomes of the procedure. Three blind observers examined preoperative and 1-year postoperative photographs and rated the aesthetic outcome of the reconstructive procedure. Results One-hundred sixty-five patients were treated with wide excision and delayed reconstruction, including pedicled perforator-based flaps in 70 patients (group A) and primary closure in 95 patients (group B). Mean Breslow thickness was 2.972 and 2.189 mm in group A and B, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in locoregional recurrence (chi-squared test, p = 0.8333; Fisher's exact test, p > 0.9999) between the two groups. Group A reported a higher satisfaction with both the aesthetic (mean rating 4.390 in group A and 4.094 in group B) and functional (mean rating 4.732 in group A and 4.170 in group B) outcomes of the procedure, the latter being statistically significant (p = 0.0006). Conclusion This series suggests that pedicled perforator-based flaps provide optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes in melanoma reconstruction without impairing the locoregional control of the disease.

Background Pilon fractures involve the dome of the distal tibial articular surface. The optimal treatment for high-energy pilon fractures remains controversial. Some authors advocate the use of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) to avoid articular incongruence. Others advocate the use of bridging external fixation with limited internal fixation (EFLIF) to reduce soft tissue complications. Literature reports of prospective studies comparing the radioclinical outcomes of ORIF and EFLIF in high-energy fractures are scarce. Retrospective studies have their limitations because of insufficient randomisation. The objective of this randomised prospective study is to compare the clinical, radiologic and functional outcomes of displaced and comminuted closed pilon fractures, Rüedi and Allgöwer type II and III, treated by either ORIF or EFLIF. Materials and Methods Forty-two patients were selected for the study. Twenty-two patients were subjected to ORIF and 20 patients were subjected to EFLIF. We used the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score as a standard method of reporting clinical status of the ankle. Patients were followed-up clinically and radiologically for over 2 years after the surgical treatment. Results The results of ORIF and EFLIF in treatment of high-energy pilon fractures are equally effective in terms of functional outcomes and complication rates on the short term. Conclusion Soft tissue integrity and fracture comminution seem to have a significant influence on outcomes of intervention. A prospective multicentre study with a larger sample size that controls for other associated variables and comorbidities is warranted. Level of evidence Level II.

Madelung deformity is a congenital disorder with the malformation of anterior ulnar bowing of radius and a dorsally protruding ulnar head caused by premature growth disturbance at the medial volar aspect of the distal radius. This report describes a bilateral idiopathic Madelung deformity in a 17-year-old woman treated successfully using reverse wedge osteotomy of the distal radius in a symptomatic left wrist. Reverse wedge osteotomy can orient the radial joint surface while correcting the whole radius length by reversely putting the wedge bone removed from the distal metaphysis of radius, the base of which is cut from the surplus of the radial and dorsal cortical bone in the hypotrophic portion. We corrected the palmar subluxation of the carpus, restored her good function, and relieved her wrist pain.

The outcome of 169 fractures of the distal radius in adults under the age of 50 were assessed at least 18 months after injury (mean follow-up, 4.9 years) using a validated, patient-based outcome questionnaire. The questionnaire responses demonstrated that neither the Frykman nor the Mayo classifications of distal radial fractures predicted outcome. Fracture union with more than 10° of dorsal tilt was associated with increased difficulty with everyday activities and work, while union with a step in the radiocarpal articular surface was associated with loss of wrist mobility and difficulty with fine dextrous tasks. No measure of either intra- or extra-articular malunion influenced the severity or frequency of persistent wrist pain.

Abstract Aims: Many surgical techniques are proposed to address Madelung deformity, but the most suitable surgical treatment still remains unknown for symptomatic cases. We introduced a modified management by radius osteotomy and Sauvé-Kapandji’s procedure using the monorail external fixator to provide a supplement to the treatment of Madelung deformity. Methods : From January 2013 to October 2018, 12 patients (9 right and 6 left wrists) with a mean age of 18 (16 to 24) years complained of pain, deformities and limited function of effected wrists. These 12 patients received operation for subsequent acute correction by monorail external fixator. The Vas Score, ulnar tilt of the radial articular surface angle, radiopalmar tilt angle, lunate subsidence, volar translation and range of wrist movement were evaluated pre- and postoperatively. Results : Consolidation cost an average time of 87 (66 to 122) days. All patients were followed up for an average time of 24 (8 to 65) months. The Vas score for all patients decreased from 4 (2 to 7) to 0 (p<0.001). The ulnar tilt and radiopalmar tilt were decreased by a mean of 21° (mean changed from 50 to 29) and 21° (from 38 to 17), respectively (both p<0.001). The length of lunate subsidence and volar translation was reduced by a mean of 6 (from 7 to 1) mm and 8 (from 25 to 17) mm, respectively (both p<0.001). Five patients received radius lengthening for an average of 22 (18 to 29) mm. Wrist extension improved by a mean of 8° (from 50 to 58), while flexion decreased by 40° (from 100 to 40). Conclusion : Acute correction by radius osteotomy and Sauvé-Kapandji’s procedure and gradual lengthening with the extendable monorail external fixator can be used for Madelung deformity with little surgical trauma. The radiographic parameters and wrist pain are improved after surgery and postoperative therapy.

Dorsal hump resection was considered as the most ordinary part of rhinoplasty. It is obviously noticed that when a humpectomy is performed in a primary rhinoplasty, some surgeons underestimate the middle third (internal valve) reconstruction resulting in an inverted-V deformity. Although spreader graft is the gold standard for middle vault reconstruction, attention is turned to returning a portion of the hump following dorsal reduction in an attempt to reconstruct the middle vault. The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of spreader flap in primary rhinoplasties. This study included 40 patients classified into 3 groups as follows: (1) type I—mild cartilaginous hump, (2) type II—moderate cartilaginous hump, and (3) type III—huge cartilaginous hump. The results are satisfactory in most cases regarding the aesthetic and functional outcomes. Using auto-spreader flaps is shown to be simple, reproducible, and effective in shaping the midvault while keeping the internal valve intact.
