Splint or Cast for a Leg Deformity

Показать описание

Dr. Matthew Harb is a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon practicing in Washington D.C. Today we are going to talk about splint or casting for deformities. We usually use splints or casts to get fractures to heal. Here you can see the foot is out and the knee is in called valgus or knocked knees. This is a deformity and as an adult you need surgery to correct it. You can either cut the bone or you can perform and knee replacement to correct the deformity and arthritis.

I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

Believe me, dislocating a bone is less painful than doctors trying to put it back.

All because his doctor didn’t know that the hell they were doing smh

Thats the first step in making a splint, taking a cast of the limb.. then making a limb to work on while the patient is at home.

I had a distal femoral osteotomy done on my left leg because of valgus. Incredibly invasive, painful, and long recovery time. The bone healed well and did what I wanted, but the pain and issues with my hardware and my soft tissue is an ongoing issue 6yrs later. I think I’m gonna get the hardware removed next year.

Complimenti! Se lo stesso trattamento lo fanno anche alla gamba sinistra diventa uno tra i Fantini più grandi del mondo!!

I shattered my tibial plateau after a fall and had ORIF surgery with bone grafting, one plate and seven screws. I developed significant valgus in the following year. I then had my hardware removed, an high tibial osteotomy performed, a new bone graft and new hardware installed. It was excrutiatingly painful for a very long time but I had a successful result. A year later I had my hardware removed due to constant pain, an arthoscopy to remove scar tissue and a reshaping the bone that was deformed from Osgood-Schlater's disease one year later. I now have great flexion - 130°, pretty good extension - almost 0° and I walk with a limp. What an ordeal!!

When I was a freshman I snapped my arm in half and when they put the pin in it only went through one of my bones fully so they had to put another one in and getting them out with a dewalt power drill no anesthesia still haunts me in my memories.

I’ve got knocked knees. Is there a non- invasive surgery to fix this or no?

Bro I would flip some shi if my leg looked like that after they did that shi 😂

as someone who has a valgus deformity in her foot and has been healing the last three weeks after surgery, can confirm stuff like this is as painful as it looks.

A professional can do it very easily. it is called negative cast which is taken to fabricate ORTHOSIS.👍

As a Respiratory Therapist I've seen worse. Walking into a patients room in ER to do a pre op EKG, and I see both feet pointing down and think, how am I going to do this while they are on their belly. They weren't!

As someone who had one of these I didn’t get a fucked knee because they’ve always been fucked but the leg that did have the cast on is shorter than the other. 3 months shorter.
