Muscle tension disorders
Muscle tension disorder is a condition in which there is abnormal tension in the muscles. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including neurological disorders, muscle damage, or metabolic problems. These disorders can manifest as excessive or insufficient muscle tension, which can lead to stiffness, muscle weakness, and problems with coordination and movement. [...]
Growth dysphoria - cosmetic limb lengthening
Dysfunction is no longer a problem. Thanks to advances in the field of orthopedics, we can easily achieve bone lengthening of additional centimeters and equalize the length of limbs in relation to the proportions of the whole body. The term growth dysphoria Dr. Walter Windisch, a psychologist, used the term growth dysphoria (dysphoria literally means dissatisfaction, as opposed to euphoria). In other words, dissatisfaction with one's growth. [...]
Osseointegration in amputee patients
Osseointegration is a revolutionary technology for amputees. The term amputation refers to the loss of all or part of a limb. It can occur as a result of trauma or scheduled surgery for other medical reasons. Most procedures are performed to treat complications resulting from peripheral vascular disease (PVD) or diabetes. The next most common cause of amputation is trauma from accidents [...]
Limb axis deformities
Limb axis deformities in children are a common orthopedic problem that can also occur in adolescents and adults. In addition to affecting aesthetics, these deformities lead to serious anatomical and functional disorders. Limb axis abnormalities (such as physiologic valgus and physiologic myelopathy) affect gait, and in the long term can cause degenerative changes in the joints, especially the knees. Problems [...]
Bone transport
Bone transport, also known as osteogenic distraction, is a medical technique used in orthopedics to treat bone defects and lengthen limbs. The procedure involves moving bone fragments to stimulate new bone growth, allowing the bone gap to fill in naturally. Bone segment transport is performed for severe bone defects resulting from trauma, disease, [...]
Osteomyelitis
Osteomyelitis is a bone infection that is more common in children due to the rich vascularization of the appendage and an immune system that is not yet fully developed. It occurs with an incidence of 1:5,000 in people under the age of 13. The cause of cellulitis is a bacterial infection. It is most often caused by staphylococcus aureus. Bacteria can penetrate into the bone [...]
