Summary
Femoral osteosynthesis can lead to limb malrotation, impacting patient quality of life. Early detection and correction using clinical, radiological, CT, or MRI methods are crucial for minimizing complications and planning reconstructive surgery.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Femoral osteosynthesis complications include significant malrotation.
- Limb malrotation negatively affects patient quality of life.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review intraoperative and postoperative methods for controlling and verifying femoral rotation.
- To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and correction of rotational errors.
Main Methods:
- Intraoperative clinical and radiological techniques for rotation control.
- Postoperative verification using CT scans (preferred) or MRI (for younger patients).
Main Results:
- Accurate intraoperative control minimizes rotational errors.
- Early postoperative diagnosis is essential for effective management.
- CT and MRI offer reliable methods for assessing femoral rotation.
Conclusions:
- Minimizing rotational errors during femoral osteosynthesis is vital.
- Prompt diagnosis and correction of limb malrotation improve patient outcomes.
- Imaging techniques like CT and MRI are key for evaluating rotational deformities.
