Consequently, with the pelvic bone and the reinsertion at the site of an »internal hemipelvectomy« with preservation of the removal after irradiation is only possible if the tumor has extremity is almost invariably performed nowadays. Highly If the pelvic ring is interrupted as a result of a tumor osteolytic tumors such as Ewing’s sarcoma weaken the resection, a reconstruction will be required.

Extracorporeal irradiation is a good option for ▬ bridging with autologous fibular graft the pelvis, provided sufficient stability can be preserved, ▬ removal of the tumor with the pelvic bone, irradiation because the bone fits exactly and offers good conditions of the bone and reinsertion at the site of removal for revascularization (similar to that for non-vascularized ▬ bridging with allogeneic pelvic bone (allograft) fibula) [7, 20]. Principle of transposition of the hip according to Winkelmann after resection of a tumor of the ilium and parts of the acetabulum. Although the mechanical strength of the allograft is less than that of a metal or plastic prosthesis, the anchorage is better. If the pelvic bone is well supplied with blood and a good fit is achieved, the allogeneic bone is gradually b transformed into autologous bone over a section measur- ing 1–2 cm, thus creating the conditions for long-term ⊡ Fig. Because of the with an allograft and conventional total hip replacement 273 3 3.

Trigger thumb Stenosing tenosynovitis of the thumb discount 50mg desyrel with visa, more commonly known as “trigger thumb,” is one of the more common congenital abnormalities of the hand. It is rarely recognized in the first six months of life since children generally maintain Figure 3. As the child begins to reach, grasp, and grip objects, it becomes apparent that the thumb does not fully extend at the interphalangeal joint. The deformity may manifest itself in periodic episodes of flexion deformity of the interphalangeal joint with occasional episodes of popping, clicking or full straightening of the finger. More commonly it is recognized when the thumb is persistently held in a position of interphalangeal joint flexion (Figure 3. The parents relate that the thumb does not fully straighten, and that the child has some difficulty in grasping. On examination, a palpable nodule is readily discerned at the metacarpophalangeal joint level, at or near the proximal metacarpophalangeal thumb crease. There is (a) (b) inability to extend the interphalangeal joint of Figure 3. Anteroposterior (a) and lateral (b) radiographs of the tibia and the thumb. The palpable nodule is actually a fibula demonstrating medial (a) and posterior (b) bowing (posteromedial thickened prominence arising from the flexor bowing). As this nodule enlarges in size, it no longer is capable of passing through the flexor pulley, and complete extension of the Figure 3. Although stretching exercises and occasionally cortisone injections have been tried, the vast majority of children will require surgical release of the flexor pulley. Surgical treatment has routinely resulted in complete correction in well over 95 percent of the cases. Congenital bowing of the tibia Congenital bowing of the tibia is always recognizable at birth. Two forms are recognized: posteromedial bowing and anterolateral bowing. Congenital posteromedial bowing of the tibia produces a shortened leg from knee to ankle, with a posterior medial bow recognized at birth (Figures 3.
