 Abstract
 PDF
- Owing to the increase in life expectancy, the incidence of osteoporotic fracture of the pelvis and acetabulum is increasing. Fractures in the elderly population is different from those in younger patients. Pelvic ring and acetabular fractures in geriatric patients are more likely the result of low-energy trauma, but the outcomes are generally poorer than those of the younger population. Multiple management options are available, but no intervention has become the standard of care for these fractures in the elderly. A treatment strategy should be established depending on the state of the individual patient. Regardless of whether nonsurgical or surgical treatment is selected, early ambulation should be considered to avoid the complications associated with prolonged immobilization.

Abstract

- The incidence of malunion in the long bone with has been reduced because of the advancements in surgical technique. However, nonunion or malunion are still observed in mechanical axis deformation of the lower limb, resulting in the overload of cartilage and instability of the joint, requiring surgical correction. Preoperative planning for malunion is very important, and accurate evaluation of the deformity is essential. Herein, we describe the indications of corrective osteotomy, choice of patients, and various surgical methods for the treatment of malunion of the long bone.
