1 Malunions: Principles of Evaluation & Treatment Clifford B Jones, MD Orthopaedic Associates of Michigan Clinical Professor, MSU/CHM Grand Rapids, MI May 2011

2 What is a malunion? Bone healed in a nonanatomic position –Affect function? –Likely to affect function? –Consequences with or without treatment

3 What is a malunion? Limits of deformity vary by bone and plane –Somewhat arbitrary –Merchant and Dietz, JBJS 1989 No long term effects on knee or ankle function at 29 years with deformity >10 degrees after tibia fx

6 Planes of deformity Articular (splits and depressions!) Length Angulation Rotation Combined

7 Evaluation Length –Measure –Blocks –Scanogram –CT scanogram

8 Evaluation Angulation –AP/lat X-rays –Comparison views –Long leg films Standing

9 Evaluation Rotation –Exam (rotational profile) –CT

10 Evaluation Rotation –Exam (rotational profile) –CT

11 Correction Planning

12 Correction: Closing wedge Single site to heal Biomechanically sound Soft tissue friendly Corrects angulation May shorten No graft required

13 Correction: Closing wedge

14

15 Cut Insert Compress Finalize

16

17 Correction: Opening Wedge Two sites to heal Need graft Tension soft tissue –Pre op plan soft tissue integrity Allows lengthening

20 Oblique osteotomy Single site to heal Large surface to heal Compression at site Can lengthen No graft Creates some rotation

21

22 Oblique osteotomy Define plane of deformity

23 Oblique osteotomy Define plane of deformity

24 Oblique osteotomy Define plane of deformity Oblique cut

25 Oblique osteotomy Define plane of deformity Oblique cut Rotate through cut

26 Oblique osteotomy Define plane of deformity Oblique cut Rotate through cut

51 Ilizarov Method

52 Combination Method Osteotomy, Derotation, & Lengthening 45 M, Fall from ladder 18 mo prior Short Gamma IMN for Reverse Oblique Fx Pattern Began WBAT at 6 wks Complains of LLD (3.5 cm) and Inability to walk with his foot straight (45° ER Deformity)

53 Remove IMN & Ream Canal Intramedullary Osteotomy Derotate Leg – 45 Internal Rotation

54 Insert IMN – No Dist IL Apply Uniplanar & Unicortical External Fixator Begin Distraction Osteogenesis

55 When desired length obtained: Return to OR Insert Distal IL Screws Remove External Fixator

56 Mid & Ending Distraction

57 Final Result

58 End Result

59 Complex problems Identify the problem Determine the consequences (with or without intervention) Plan the correction Execute the plan Lifelong learning
