Three-Dimensional Preoperative Virtual Planning in Derotational Proximal Femoral Osteotomy
Published on: February 17, 2023
Abstract:
Postural valgus hindfeet in children, so-called "flat feet" or floppy feet, are not new to orthopedics. A small number of these patients have significant symptoms requiring surgical treatment. Many patients are adequately controlled without operation by Rose-Swartz insoles worn during the growing period. In this series of 17 children and one adult with severe pes planovalgus, both parents and children testified to considerable and lasting functional improvement at examinations performed several years after surgery. The hindfoot shape as judged by shoe wear and on radiographs may not be vastly different before and after surgery; however, function is gained, and symptoms decrease markedly, justifying the surgical intervention.

Body Planes
The sagittal plane is the plane that divides the body or an organ vertically into right and left sides. If this vertical plane runs directly down the middle of the body resulting in equal division, it is called the midsagittal or median...
Vertebral Column: Regions and Curvature
Regions of the Vertebral Column
In an adult, the spine is subdivided into five regions: the cervical, the thoracic, the lumbar, the sacral, and the coccygeal region. The spine initially develops as a series of 33 vertebrae; after 20 years of age, the nine bones in the sacral region, five sacral, and four coccygeal bones fuse to form the...
