Surgical Correction of Child Planovalgus Deformity by Porous TiNi-based Implants
Abstract
The question of child degenerative-dystrophic diseases is predominate in orthopedic pathology, where the problem of its treatment is very acute. Excluding the modern treatment methods, the number of children suffering planovalgus deformity is comparably more to total orthopedic patients. This article describes a surgical treatment method of child planovalgus deformity by applying porous biocomposite materials from TiNi alloy. The method involves inserting porous frustoconical composite TiNi implant into subtalar joint, which, in its turn, could correct the deformation and shape the arch of foot eliminating planovalgus deformity.
