Equalizing leg length, repairing femoral neck stress fracture in osteogenesis imperfecta patient
To repair the complex case of a 5-centimeter leg-length discrepancy and femoral neck stress fracture in the setting of osteogenesis imperfecta, Mayo specialists performed a segmental osteotomy at the apex of the deformity. Managing severe glenoid bone deficiency
Glenoid bone insufficiency can jeopardize shoulder surgery outcomes by offering too little bone stock for secure component implantation. As leaders worldwide in the use of patient-specific instrumentation, a major advance in shoulder arthroplasty, Mayo specialists offer options to this challenging pathology.
