AbstractThis review article provides an overview of lower limb deformity analysis. A brief history and radiographic standards are presented. Deformity analysis is considered in the frontal, sagittal, and axial planes, from simple to more complex cases. The authors recommended analysis methods based on their own experience of deformity correction, while acknowledging that there may be different ways to treat individual cases. Subsequently, methods for osteotomy planning to address the identified deformities are discussed.

Angular Deformities

The aim of this study was to present two patients with lower limb posttraumatic angular deformity treated by dynamic hinged external fixation. CD-V mode Mitkovic type external fixator had been used in both cases for correction of these deformities. The method is based on hemicallotasis - bone callus distraction after a partial transversal bone cut (hemocorticotomy). The first patient had varus-recurvatum posttraumatic deformity of the ankle joint. Operation time was 65 min and hospital stay was 9 days. Superficial pin-track infection was resolved by the pin removal and by daily wound toilette. The second patient had varus-antecurvatum malunion deformity of the femoral diaphysis. Operation time was 50 min and hospital stay was 6 days. Mild knee contracture had been successfully treated by physical therapy. Angular deformity correction had been performed by distraction (for the first patient) and compression (for the second patient) in the fixator frame. Hemicallotasis of femur or tibia using CD-V mode Mitkovic type external fixator is a good alternative in the treatment of posttraumatic lower limb angular deformities, providing minimal surgical trauma and maximal use of the bone osteogenetic capacity. Gradual compression or distraction in the fixator frame allows to perform accurate angular correction in both coronal and sagital plane in one act.

We report the case of a pediatric patient with Ewing’s sarcoma of the tibia treated with vascularized fibular autograft where the resulting limb deformity and leg length discrepancy (LLD) were corrected using Ilizarov external fixator. A 14-year-old girl presented to our outpatient clinic with a deformity of the right proximal and distal tibia and an 11.7 cm of LLD after tumor reconstruction surgery. Deformity correction and limb lengthening were simultaneously performed using double corticotomy on the right proximal and distal tibia. One year postoperatively, the union of the right proximal tibia had progressed, but nonunion was observed at the right distal corticotomy site. To address this, osteosynthesis with tricortical iliac bone allograft was performed after the removal of the Ilizarov external fixator. After 6 months, the union of the distal tibia was confirmed, and the varus deformity of proximal and distal tibia improved. The LLD was also decreased, but the left lower limb was still longer by 3 cm. This report shows that vascularized fibular autografts can potentially be used for the gradual correction of LLD and deformities. However, for the treatment of multiple deformities in bones previously reconstructed with vascularized fibular graft, the possibility of impaired bone forming potential of the fibular graft should be considered.
