We studied the kinematic patterns of knee, performing gait analysis, in diplegic children. Our gait laboratory consists of 4 infrared cameras. We used the Elite program. We studied initially 25 normal children. We constructed our models and developed the linear measurements of the gait. Then we performed measurements of the angles of the knee and [...]
Congenital femoral hypoplasia is an extremely rare and severe dysplasia. The main characteristic is the severe leg length discrepancy. It covers a wide spectrum of femoral deformities ranging from hypoplasia to severe proximal deficiency. The aim of our study is to describe the management of the femoral deficiency. We used distraction histogenesis, with a circular [...]

We present our case and the surgical treatment we provided. Removal of a ray is essential to reduce the width of the foot to enable normal shoe wear. The pathogenesis remains unknown.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is an inherited skeletal dysplasia characterized from bone fragility and skeletal deformities. OI presents with heterogenous features and variability in severity. Multiple systems are affected, since the disease involves the synthesis of collagen type I. Diagnosis is mainly based on the incidence of fractures. Severe osteoporosis, repeated fractures and fragility affect the [...]
