Femoral Shaft Varus Above a Total Knee Replacement Treated with a Circular Hexapod Fixator
摘要
This chapter describes the operative treatment of deformity of the femur in a patent with a stemmed total knee endoprosthesis. The extracortical clamp device (ECD) and the computer-assisted hexapod Ortho-SUV Frame were used. The ECD is a special device which allows fixation of bone fragment without the necessity to perforate both bone cortices and cavity which contains the endoprosthesis stem. The use of hexapod frame simplifies correction and increases accuracy.
