Self-Locking Screw01:16

Self-Locking Screw

2.5K
A square-threaded screw jack is a mechanical device widely used for lifting heavy loads or applying considerable force. One of the key features that can make a screw jack more effective and reliable is its self-locking capability.
A square-threaded screw jack carrying a load is considered self-locking if the screw retains its position even after the moment applied to it is removed.

Arteries of Lower Limbs01:20

Arteries of Lower Limbs

4.5K
The external iliac artery transitions out of the body cavity, entering the femoral region of the lower leg, and is renamed the femoral artery at the point where it traverses the body wall. This artery is responsible for the distribution of blood to the thigh's deep muscles and the skin's ventral and lateral regions, achieved through several minor branches and the lateral deep femoral artery, which also spawns a lateral circumflex artery. The knee area receives blood from the genicular...

Veins of Lower Limbs01:15

Veins of Lower Limbs

2.4K
The human body consists of an intricate network of veins responsible for the crucial task of blood drainage from the lower limbs. These veins can be categorized into two main types: deep veins and superficial veins.
Formed by the union of the medial and lateral plantar veins, the posterior tibial vein, rising through the calf muscle, assimilates the fibular vein. The anterior tibial vein, a superior extension of the foot's dorsalis pedis vein, merges with the posterior tibial vein at the...

Veins of Upper Limbs

4.1K
The human circulatory system, a marvel of biological engineering, is a complex network of vessels that transport blood throughout the body. Among these, the veins responsible for carrying blood from the upper limbs are divided into two categories: deep and superficial.
The deep venous system is primarily composed of the ulnar and radial veins. The ulnar vein, which drains the fingers through the superficial palmar venous arches, and the radial vein, which serves the palms via the deep palmar...

Arteries of the Upper Limbs01:12

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

2.2K
The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

4.4K
The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side...

Summary

Submuscular locking plates offer a viable limb lengthening option, particularly for children. This method involves external fixation, gradual distraction, and careful postoperative care for bone consolidation.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomedical engineering

Background:

  • Limb lengthening over an intramedullary nail can be challenging in certain patients, especially children.
  • Submuscular locking plates present a suitable alternative for limb lengthening procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the technique and outcomes of limb lengthening using a submuscular locking plate combined with external fixation.

Main Methods:

  • The procedure involves two main steps: submuscular plating with external fixation and corticotomy.
  • Distraction is initiated 7-10 days post-surgery and continued until the desired length is achieved.
  • Post-lengthening, the distal segment is locked, the external fixator removed, and gradual weight-bearing is initiated.

Main Results:

  • A prospective study was conducted on ten patients undergoing limb lengthening with this combined technique.
  • The study documented the indications, contraindications, and potential challenges of the procedure.

Conclusions:

  • Limb lengthening using submuscular locking plates and external fixation is a feasible technique.
  • This method provides an alternative for patients where traditional intramedullary nailing is not ideal.
