[Three-dimensional Visualization during CT Examination in Coxa Vara of Adolescents.].
- Ortopedická klinika FN, Olomouc.
The authors demonstrate two patients with adolescent epiphyseolysis of the head of the femur which is visualized by means of special software of so-called three-dimensional reconstruction of CT pictures. The preoperative visualization made it possible in the first case to define more accurately the surgical scheme of Southwick's two-plane osteotomy of the femur, in the second case the indication for Dunn's subcapital osteotomy of the neck of the femur. The subsequent postoperative visualization gives a spatial idea of the results of the two types of operations. In the discussion the authors deal with the range of indications for the use of the above software. Key words: computer tomography, three-dimensional visualization, coxa vara adolescentium, Southwicks and Dunn's osteotomy.
