1111 CHAPTER 12 Six-Axis Deformity Analysis and Correction In previous chapters, we defined deformity components and divided them into angulation, rotation, translation, and length Angulation and rotation are angular deformities, measured in degrees Translation and length are displacement deformities, measured in distance units (e.g., millimeters, inches, etc.) In Chap 9, we discussed how angulation (axis in the transverse [x-y] plane) and rotation (axial [z] axis) deformities can be resolved three-dimensionally and characterized by a single vector (ACA) inclined out of the transverse plane (characterized by x,y,z coordinates) Similarly, translation (displacement in the transverse plane) and length (displacement axially) can be combined into a single displacement vector inclined out of the transverse plane (characterized by x,y,z coordinates) Deformity between two bone segments can be fully characterized by three projected angles (rotations) and three projected displacements (translations) Therefore, six deformity parameters are required to define a single bone deformity Mathematically, it is necessary to assign positive and negative values to each rotation and each translation, depending on the direction of rotation of each angle and the direction of displacement of each translation The signs (+I-) of these angles and translations are determined by the mathematical convention of coordinate axes and the right-hand rule The unique position of an object (bone segment) can be determined by locating three non-collinear points on that object One segment can be moved with respect to another by translating along three orthogonal axes and rotating about these same three axes The final position after three orthogonal translations is independent of the order undertaken The final position after three orthogonal rotations is dependent on the order or sequence undertaken (~ Fig 12-1) Stated more formally, rotation is not commutative Deformity analysis, as discussed in previous chapters, is conducted using AP and LAT view radiographs of the bone deformity Considering that a radiograph is an X-ray projection of objects onto a plane (section), the mathematical field concerning projection and section (the plane of observation) is called projective geometry (Klirre 1955) Projective geometry is the mathematical basis of interpreting radiographs of bone deformities Yaw - Pitch - Roll Fig.12-1 Although the order in which orthogonal translation is undertaken does not affect the final position of an object, the order in which an object is rotated about orthogonal axes affects its final spatial orientation Three identical blocks are illustrated (first column) Each of the blocks is shown as undergoing a 90° rotation in yaw (Y), a 90° rotation in pitch (P), and a 90° rotation in roll (R), each in a different order Note the very different final orientations depending on the order in which the rotations were undertaken Rotation is not commutative Gerard Desargues, a self-educated engineer, published the first known text on projective geometry in 1639 Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician and philosopher, added his theorem and published a text on conic sections and projective geometry in 1640 All printed copies of these works were lost Fortunately, a student of Desargues, Philippe de la Hire, made a manuscript copy of Desargues's book Nearly 200 years later, this copy was found serendipitously in a bookshop by the geometer Michel Chasles (1793-1880) Along with other 19th century geometers, Chasles rediscovered and further developed projective geometry Chasles was the first to realize that the complex repositioning of an object in six axes (three translationsplus three rotations) could be duplicated by rotation of a threaded nut along a threaded shaft, the revolute The path of the nut in space is a curvilinear axis of correc- IIEJI CHAPTER 12 · Six-AxisDeformi!J AnalysisandCorrection d tion of all the rotations (angulation and rotation deformities) and all the translations (translation and length deformities) The central axis of this revolute in space is the same as the vector that resolves the three rotations in space When rotation occurs in each reference axis, the revolute will be inclined to all three reference axes The offset from the central axis (radius) of the revolute is dependent on two translations, and the pitch of the thread is dependent on the third translation The Chasles axis can be developed as a vector, with direction and magnitude The three contributions to the vector are based on three angles (rotations): two from radiographs (AP and LAT views of angulation) and the third from clinical examination (axial rotation) or from CT analysis of rotation deformity By treating the rotation or Chasles axis as a vector quantity, one is able to exactly locate this axis in any of eight octants By invoking the right-hand rule, one can readily determine the direction of rotation about this axis to recreate the deformity In addition to recreating observed angulation and rotation with a single oblique axis, Chasles showed that this same axis, if displaced from the center of the fragment, can also provide translation in two planes If the fragment is allowed to progress along the shaft as it rotates (like a nut on a threaded shaft), the third translation can be addressed The exact positioning of this shaft is beyond the scope of this book, but a few conceptual examples are provided ( Fig 12-2) Fig 12-2 a-f Characterizing anatomic terms in their mathematical equivalents Ieads to improved understanding Choose the point of interest, or origin, as the zero position Assuming you are working on yourself, anterior is positive, right is positive, and cephalad is

fragment is shown in 40° and 2-cm increments (b-f) This spiral or revolute motion can reproduce ( or correct) a six-axis deformity The Taylor Spatial Frame Fixator lntroduction The Chasles axis can be applied to the real world to move objects precisely through space Moving objects through space isaproblern encountered in many practical situations outside of orthopaedics One of the most elegant solutions was the fiight simulator developed in the early 1950s using the Stewart platform (Beggs 1966) This same mechanism is used in amusement park rides The Stewart platform uses six struts of adjustable length to move an object in any direction in space It is not just coincidental that the number of struts required corresponds to the number of axes of correction If only five struts are used, the system is unstable; when seven struts are used, the system is overly constrained The Stewart platform also is used for the precise movements oflarge telescopes and milling machines and has been used in industry for years It has now been applied to orthopaedics to allow simultaneous six-axis deformity correction CHA PTE R 12 · Six-Axis Deformity Analysis and Correction 1111 Standard

Fig 12·3 The Taylor spatial frame construct is always the same: six struts connected to every other tab on a full ring The master tab is always on the proximal ring and faces anterior Looking down on the proximal ring,as ifto put the ring on one's leg, the numbered struts are attached through starting at the master tab in a counterclockwise configuration It is important to remember that this assembly does not change for either side of the body or for proximal or distal reference frames The anti-master tab is the empty distal tab between struts and This tab is a virtual tab in a distal two-thirds ring construct The available components consist of rings (full, half, and two-thirds), struts (Fast Fx [Smith & Nephew) and standard), foot plates, and butt plates b c Fig 12-3 Taylor

Memphis, Tennessee, in 1994, J Charles and Harold S Taylor first applied the Stewart platform and the Chasles theorem to orthopaedics They modified the Ilizarov external fixation system by connecting six telescopic struts that are free to rotate at their connection points to the proximal and distal rings This external fixator is called the Taylor spatial frame In Germany, a similar modification to the Ilizarov device, called the hexapod, was developed (Seide et al 1999) By adjusting only the strut lengths, one ring can be repositioned with respect to the other Using a computerprogram that calculates the strut lengths relative to deformity parameters, the frame can be preconstructed to mirnie any deformity A two-ring construct can simulate a singlelevel deformity, and a three-ring construct with six struts between each pair of rings can be preconstructed for a two-level deformity Simple and complex deformities are treated with the same frame The same frame construct - two rings and six struts- can simulate various Ilizarov frame constructs (~ Figs 12-3 and 12-4) The multiple angles and translations of a particular deformity are addressed simultaneously by adjusting the

0.7° and mm To treat a specific deformity with the spatial frame, one must determine the frame parameters, the deformity parameters, and the mounting parameters The frame parameters consist of the proximal and distal ring diameters along with the strut type, sizes, and lengths The deformity parameters consist of the radiographic and clinical measurements of the three rotations and three translations, defined relative to a point designated as the origin on the reference segment and its corresponding point on the corresponding segment We present an example of the six deformity parameters in terms of a tibial model ( , Fig 12-5): (1) coronal plane Four mounting parameters determine the position of the center of the reference ring in space with respect to the assigned origin

origin in many cases Using the CORA as the origin is the marriage of the CORA method to the method of simultaneaus six-axis deformity correction The corresponding point lies along the axis of the moving fragment and is determined by various planning methods discussed later in the chapter The mounting parameters define the position of the reference ring (proximal or distal) in space with respect to the position of the origin In other words, the mounting parameters determine the position of the center of the reference ring in space to the position of the assigned origin Once the mounting parameters have been assigned, the frame orientation to the limb can be anticipated However, the frame usually is applied first and the mounting parameters subsequently determined Four measurements defining the relationship of the reference ring to the origin determine the mounting parameters The four mounting parameters are as follows: (1) anteroposterior frame offset, medial or lateral offset to the origin; (2) lateral frame offset, anterior or posterior offset of the center of the reference ring to the origin; (3) axial frame offset, proximal or distal offset of the reference ring to the origin; and (4) rotational frame offset, the degree of rotation between the master tab (proximal reference) or anti-master tab (distal reference) to the designated anteroposterior plane (usually patella forward) (~ Fig 12-6) The rotational offset is either external or internal With most applications, the intent is to place the frame in a neutral position with no rotational offset However, if rotational offset is present but not accounted for, a secondary deformity will be created during the initial correction For example, if a varus deformity is being corrected and the frame has been mounted with an internal rotational offset, a secondary recurvatum deformity will be created during the varus deformity correction This occurs because the frame is correcting the varus deformity not in the anteroposterior plane but in an oblique plane because of the rotational offset that has not been accounted for On the other hand, a rotational offset allows the freedom to mount a frame in a better position for soft tissue dearance or patient comfort An external rotational offset of 90° in a proximal femoral two-thirds ring allows clearance for the opposite thigh and perineal area This same construct with a distal reference will result in a 60° external rotational frame offset due to the position of the distal anti-master tab (~ Fig 12-7) rotational offset = goo / Distal reference imaginary anti-master tab External rotalienal offset = 60° _ _ oo Patella torward Fig 12-7 An external rotational offset of 90° in a proximal femoral twothirds ring allows clearance for soft tissues The same construct with a distal reference will result in a 60° external rotational frame offset due to the position of the distal (imaginary) antimaster tab The anti-master tab is imaginary in this construct because the distal ring is a two-thirds ring Modes of Correction Currently, three program modes of correction can be accomplished with the Taylor spatial frame: chronic deformity, residual deformity, and total residual deformity program modes However, since the advent of the Total Residual Program, the earlier Chronic and Residual Programs have been used less frequently and are becoming of academic interest only In this chapter, we focus only on the total residual deformity mode For the total residual deformity mode, the rings are applied independently of each other Ideally, to facilitate the planning, the reference ring should be applied perpendicular to the long axis of the reference bone seg- CHAPTER 12 · Six·Axis Deformity Analysis and Correction a IIfl b Axial frame offset =54 mm proximal to origin I AP view frame I offset = 10 mm : LATERAL to origin ment Nevertheless, the planning can compensate for nonorthogonal mountings After the two rings are applied, the six struts are connected to the rings and the osteotomy is performed at a chosen Ievel The deformity is defined for the computer by six deformity parameters: AP view angulation, LAT view angulation, axial view angulation (rotation), AP view translation, LAT view translation, and axial view translation (shortening or lengthening) The three angulations (rotations) can be measured independently of the orientation of the reference ring The three translations are dependent on the orientation of the reference ring For orthogonal mountings of the reference ring, the measurement of translation can be made perpendicular to the long axis of the bone for AP and LAT view translations and along the long axis of the bone for axial translations If the reference ring is nonorthogonal, the translations are measured according to a virtual grid of lines parallel and perpendicular to the reference ring The mounting parameters define the relationship of a chosen point on the reference axis (origin) to the center of the reference ring These mounting parameters include offset of the center of the reference ring from the origin in the anteroposterior and lateral planes, axial offset of the reference ring from the origin, and rotational offset of the reference ring to the anatomic or designated neutral rotation (usually patella forward) The position of the corresponding or moving ring is defined by entering the moving ring size and strut length data into the computer The moving ring does not need to be perpendicular to the long axis of the moving segment During surgery, the appropriate ring size (diameter) and type (full, two-thirds, foot, etc.) are chosen for the proximal and distal rings Six struts that can connect the two rings are attached between the two rings The ring size and type and the type and length of struts chosen represent the frame parameters Fig 12-Sa,b The mounting parameters are influenced by the orientation of the reference ring The orange dots represent the center of the reference ring The green dots represent the corresponding point a An orthogonal reference ring to the proximal hone axis allows for easy determination of the mounting parameters b A non-orthogonal reference ring tilts the virtual grid and significantly changes the AP frame offset To permit gradual correction of the deformity, the computer prepares a schedule of correction based on the rate of correction desired The desired rate of correction can be chosen arbitrarily or according to a predetermined rate at a chosen structure at risk (SAR) Orthogonal reference ring placement facilitates planning by making the mounting parameter reference lines parallel and perpendicular to the reference bone axis line As long as one is prepared to adjust the planning to a nonorthogonal position of the reference ring, no difference in the ability of the computer to calculate a deformity correction solution is encountered ( , Fig 12-8) The recent advent of digital planning software (Spatial CAD; Orthocrat Ltd., Tel Aviv, Israel) automatically takes the orientation of the reference ring into consideration, making planning with an orthogonal reference ring as simple as with a nonorthogonal reference ring We prefer placing the reference ring as orthogonal as possible for ease of non-digital planning This might, however, be a vestige of our bias based on extensive experience with the Ilizarov device, with which orthogonal ring placement is critical 1111 CHAPTER 12 · Six-Axis Deformity Analysis and Correction Planning Methods J Charles Taylor developed the origin-corresponding point method of planning (also called the fracture method) It permits characterization of the deformity and mounting parameters relative to two points in space: the origin and its corresponding point John E Herzenberg and Dror Paley simplified this method by relating it to the CORA, coincidentally and conveniently renaming these methods the CORAgin and CORAsponding point methods Shawn C Standard added the virtual hinge method of planning The most recent planning method developed by J Charles Taylor is termed the line of closest approach (LOCA) The LOCA is a method of determining the location of osteotomy that minimizes translation during the deformity correction The five methods of planning are as follows: ( 1) fracture method, (2) CORAgin method, {3) CORAsponding point method, {4) virtual hinge method, and (5) LOCA With the fracture method, the surgeon chooses both the origin and corresponding points as points on opposite sides of the fracture These designated points should represent congruent points of the opposing fractured fragments With the CORAgin method, the surgeon chooses the origin at the CORA and then finds the Fig.12-9 Fracture method: two corresponding points (CP) on opposite sides of the fracture (e g., at the ends of a recognizable spike and corresponding negative of the spike) are chosen as the origin and corresponding point corresponding point With the CORAsponding point method, the surgeon chooses the corresponding point first, at a CORA, and then finds the origin With the virtual hinge method, both the origin and corresponding points are located at a CORA, on the convex edge of the bone Fracture Method The fracture method brings two points in space (origin and corresponding point) to the same location This method can be likened to docking a mobile object to a stationary object in space The fracture method is the simplest method to learn Two corresponding points on opposite sides of the fracture (e.g., at the ends of a recognizable spike and corresponding negative of the spike) are chosen as the ori- CHAPTER 12 · Six-Axis Deformity Analysis and

rotation Fig.12-10 The mounting parameters are calculated by determining the position of the origin with respect to the center of the reference ring It is important to note that the mounting parameters are always measured as perpendicular distances from the reference ring gin and corresponding point (JII> Fig 12-9) The origin is defined as the point on the reference fragment, and the corresponding point is defined as the point on the moving segment The deformity parameters are determined by calculating the angulation in the coronal and sagittal planes (from the midaxillary lines of the fragments), by measuring the displacement or translation between the origin and corresponding points (in the anteroposterior, lateral, and axial planes), and by estimating the rotation deformity based on clinical examination The mounting parameters are calculated by determining the position of the origin with respect to the center of the reference ring (JII> Fig 12-10) Once these parameters are determined, the strut settings areentered into the Total Residual Program and the correction schedule is generated The new strut settings are gradually dialed into position and the fracture deformity reduced (JII> Fig 12-11) B CHAPTER 12 · Six·Axis Deformity Analysisand Correction Fig.12·11 Once all the deformity, frame, and mounting parameters are determined and entered into the Total Residual Program, the struts are dialed to the new settings and the fracture deformity is reduced An important clinical strategy is to leave the fracture shortened and aligned This reduces swelling, compartment pressures, and pain Acute reductions with distraction should be avoided The spatial frame schedule will provide gradual reduction that is weil tolerated by the patient CORAgin Method In Situations in which no acute fracture with identifiable bone ends that correspond to each other is present, the fracture method cannot be used Such deformities are called chronic deformities and include congenital, developmental, and posttraumatic residual (nonunion, malunion) deformities With the CORAgin method, the origin is chosen to be the CORA, and the corresponding point is determined by using locallength analysis or by adding extrinsic length data (e.g., limb length discrepancy data per radiograph; ~ Fig 12-12) Local length analysis is used when the desired correction is a pure neutral wedge This analysis permits calculation of the amount of shortening that is present because of the Fig.12·12 With the CORAgin method, the origin is assigned to the CORA CHAPTER 23 ·

hone resection ing the Ievel and magnitude of correction, as may be needed with a one-stage correction In either case, it is essential to preoperatively plan and determine the levels of all the CO RAs and the complexity of the deformity and to template the knee to determine whether a Standard intraoperative correction will suffice or whether this willlead to too much bone over-resection to compensate for the deformity and to too much secondary deformity due to osteotomy rule Clearly, the only perfect correction of a deformity is one that follows osteotomy rule or In most cases, this means osteotomy rule 1, with correction of the deformity at the Ievel ofthe CORA (II>- Figs.23-15 through 23-17) Total Knee Arthroplasty after Failed HTO A significant number of patients undergoing proximal tibial osteotomy for MCOA will subsequently require TKR In approximately 80% of these cases, there will be no unusual difficulty and the knee replacement will be relatively straightforward Some patients will require special consideration because of expected difficulties that may arise during joint replacement It is preferable to identify these patients and the specific factors that must be considered to ensure the best possible results Even with this knowledge, several authors have reported less than optimal outcomes ofTKR after HTO, with failure rates ranging from 20%-36% at 5- to 7-year followup (Mont et al 1994a, 1994b; Katz et al 1987; Windsor et al 1988) Preoperative Assessment Clinical Factors that have been found to infl.uence the outcome of total knee arthroplasties after failed HTO include no relief of pain after osteotomy, multiple operations before osteotomy, peroneal nerve palsy, refl.ex sympathetic dystrophy, and history of workers' compensation These should all be looked for in any preoperative assessment In addition, other clinical factors that should be assessed include the location of previous incisions, range-of-motion considerations, collateral Iigament integrity, and rotational deformities Rotational deformities after HTO can be the most challenging problern to address during revision to TKR For example, if the distal fragment has healed in exter- CH APTE R 23 · TKR and Total Hip Replacement Associated with Malalignment nal rotation, this will effectively increase the Q-angle a This can be addressed at surgery in extreme cases with a tibial tuberde medialization procedure to allow for appropriate patellar tracking after total knee arthroplasty b Radiographie A radiographic evaluation can be used to ascertain several potential problems in performing total knee arthroplasty after failed HTO These include the presence of hardware that may obstruct the tibial component, a nonunion that may have to be handled as a secondary procedure before arthroplasty, avascular necrosis of the tibial fragment, patella baja, which will make exposure difficult and may necessitate quadricepsplasty or tibial tuberde elevation, and truncated lateral tibial metaphysis, which may make seating of the tibial prosthesis difficult Proximal Tibial Osteotomy-Related Problems forTKR Multiple malalignments may exist and should be analyzed from preoperative films As stated above, rotational deformities of the distal tibia can be detected dinically and radiographically In addition, varus or valgus deformities may need to be addressed in a manner different from that used for the usual arthritis-related deformities For example, with a valgus deformity secondary to osteoarthritis in the typical case, the deformity is shared by the tibial and femoral bones However, this same deformity after HTO will be found almost entirely in the tibia and may be compensated for by the varus deformity from the original MCOA for which the osteotomy was initially performed When templating preoperatively, the surgeon should note this deformity location and realize that after femoral cuts are made, the knee will be placed in more valgus, which the tibial cuts will have to further overcorrect The implications of these cuts should be made with preoperative templating, as previously discussed for extra-articular deformities With severe valgus deformities, an ancillary osteotomy below the tibial tuberde may have tobe performed at the time of knee arthroplasty or as part of a staged procedure Subperiosteal exposure of the proximal tibia may be more difficult because of scarring after the osteotomy procedure The exposure is often more difficult because of Iimitation of eversion of the patella from previous scarring and patella baja The patella baja is a result of the dosing wedge osteotomy proximal to the tibial tuberde decreasing the distance of the patellar tendon insertion to the tibial joint line (II>- Fig 23-18) A lateral retinacular release may be necessary, and if further JL JL PTl PTI Fig 23-18 a, b a Lateral closing wedge osteotomy, shortening the distance between the patellar tendon insertion (PTI) and the

tuberde osteotomy may become necessary Ligament imbalance may be encountered in these knees The surgeon should be prepared to perform ligament advances as necessary to avoid the use of a more constrained prosthesis in some cases A complex ligament reconstruction technique for these patients has been presented by Krackow and Holtgrewe (1990) They described a combination of posterior cruciate ligament and MCL advancement Bone malalignments need to be addressed as for any extra-articular deformity As previously mentioned, a tibial tuberde medialization procedure may be necessary to address more severe rotational deformities In more severe cases of extra-articular deformity, a second osteotomy may be necessary before total knee arthroplasty Alternatively, availability of stemmed tibial components and off-set stems has made one-stage osteotomy and joint replacement more feasible (111>- Fig 23-19) EI D11 CHAPTER 23 · TKRandTotal Hip ReplacementAssociated with Malalignment Fig

Proximal Femoral Deformities and Total Hip Arthroplasty The most common femoral deformity is increased anteversion Other conditions that require hip arthroplasty and have associated deformities include developmental dysplasia, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, metabolic bone disease, iatrogenic conditions after osteotomy, and posttraumatic deformities ( , Fig 23-20) The major decision is whether to customize the femur or the prosthesis For example, in anteversion of developmental dysplasia of the hip, the proximal femur can be rotated as much as 80° ( , Fig 23-21) Because the medial-lateral dimensions of the femur are smaller than the anterior-posterior dimensions, fitting of a standard prosthesis becomes almost impossible with so much torsional deformity In addition, the abductor Iever arm becomes compromised because the greater trochanter is then rotated from lateral to posterior The excessive anteversion predisposes to impingement posteriorly from the prosthesis or greater trochanter, which can Iead to dislocation Some of these problems can be addressed by using a custom prosthesis, but a malrotated extremity with poor abductor mechanism mechanics would still remain Another solution is to use modular stems CHAPTER 23 · TKR and Total Hip Replacement Associated with Malalignment lo ,' - o Fig.23-21 Femur with marked anteversion shown after resection of the

disease of the hip after developmental dysplasia b Post-osteotomy valgus deformity with internal fixation (Cameron 1993) that allow for adjustment of anteversion independently of metaphyseal filling A good solution to this problern would be to perform a proximal femoral osteotomy before placing a standard hip replacement (Glassman et al 1987; Holtgrewe and Hungerford 1989) This solution is satisfactory because healing is rapid in the metaphyseal bone where the osteotomy is made, the proximal femoral dimensions are improved for insertion of a standard prosthesis, and the abductor lever arm is improved Holtgrewe and Hungerford (1989) advocated the use of corrective osteotomies when patients had greater than 45° of proximal femoral anteversion They reported excellent results in nine patients who were treated with associated femoral osteotomy at the time of primary or revision total hip replacement Thus, the advantages of an osteotomy are the lower cost due to no need of a custom prosthesis, the correction of the deformity in the hone, and intraoperative fiexibility The disadvantages include the obligatory Ionger healing time (3-4 months) and increased thigh pain until the bone is healed ( , Fig 23-22) BI CHAPTER 23 · TKRandTotal Hip ReplacementAssociated with Malalignment Fig 23-22 a, b a Dysplastic hip after osteotomy shows planned wedge resection derotation osteotomy b Total hip replacement with proximal femoral osteotomy stabilized by stem of prosthesis c After union of osteotomy Preoperative Planning Clinical Physical examination can determine the extent of fiexion contracture and other deformities This can help in the determination of whether ancillary muscle releases during surgery will be necessary Little has been written concerning the release of soft tissue contractures around the hip However, the release of soft tissue contractures around the hip is essential to prevent functional LLD (Longjohn and Dorr 1998; Ranawat and Rodriguez 1997) due to apparent rather than actual LLD This occurs even when leg lengths are actually equal because abduction contracture around the hip Ieads to pelvic obliquity and the patient has the sensation that the surgically treated hip is much longer This can correct on its own as the soft tissues gradually stretch from their contracted position, but these contractures can also persist permanently Therefore, it is preferable to perform the appropriate muscle releases intraoperatively when possible Soft tissue releases are usually necessary when hip contractures are greater than 20° in flexion, abduction, or external rotation Radiographie AP and cross-table LAT films can be useful to determine the amount of bone deformity Occasionally, computed tomographic scans can be used for precise measurement of the degree of anteversion and other deformities Computed tomography guided three-dimensional reconstruction can be used for complex deformities A model can be used to determine the appropriate osteotomy that would be necessary before cuts are made on the patient's bone In cases of angular deformities, preoperative templating should be performed to ascertain the amount of deformity and the wedge that needs to be removed for proper placement of the prosthesis The appearance of marked shortening of the hip should indicate that soft tissue releaseswill be necessary to restore length and to avoid postoperative contractures Up to approximately cm oflength can be gained at the time of surgery without undue risk Acute lengthening greater than that can lead to sciatic or peroneal nerve injury Shortening of a femur for limb length equalization should not be performed through the femoral neck if the normal joint tension is reduced for risk of dislocation CHAPTER 23 ·

band should be palpated and, if tight, some degree of release is necessary This can be accomplished by pie crusting the iliotibial band until this structure is stretched out sufficiently to permit hip abduction Limitation of abduction should be treated by open rather than percutaneous release of the adductor musdes through a separate incision, if necessary Bone Deformity Correction Management of rotational deformity has already been discussed The goal should be 15° of femoral anteversion with restoration of hip abductor mechanics In mild deformities, standard stems can be used The greater trochanter may need tobe removed and repositioned laterally to optimize abductor musde function Other options for more severe deformities include modular stems that allow for anteversion adjustment independently of metaphyseal filling and custom implants For severe deformities, a subtrochanteric derotational osteotomy is easily performed by dialing the degree of correction necessary after the cut and then fixing this osteotomy depending on the integrity of the cortical hone with wires and/or plates (~ Fig 23-22) All femoral deformities need to be evaluated for the need for custom and/or modular stems versus osteotomizing the femur to allow for standard stem usage For patients with angular deformities, the osteotomy can be performed at the apex of the deformity, with the size of the wedge determined from preoperative templating The osteotomy can be stabilized with a long stem prosthesis References Asp JPL, Rand JA (1990) Peroneal nerve palsy aftertotal knee arthroplasty Clin
