CURRENT PROGRESS IN ORTHOPAEDICS
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2015, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
The content covers congenital, developmental and degenerative conditions, trauma, growth and infection related disorders, and clinically relevant basic scientific research. Congenital abnormalities affecting the limbs remains a great challenge to orthopaedic surgeons, but development in this field is swinging from amputation and prosthetic fitting to bone and soft tissue reconstruction due to better understanding of underlying pathology and improvement in surgical techniques. Management of congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) has changed dramatically favouring non-operative approach (Ponseti technique), while early surgical intervention for brachial plexus birth palsy (BPBP) is gaining popularity with better defined indications. An update on management of cerebral palsy children stresses the importance of disease categorization and single event multilevel surgery (SEMLS) approach.
