Patient Care

Equalizing leg length, repairing femoral neck stress fracture in osteogenesis imperfecta patient

To repair the complex case of a 5-centimeter leg-length discrepancy and femoral neck stress fracture in the setting of osteogenesis imperfecta, Mayo specialists performed a segmental osteotomy at the apex of the deformity.

Managing severe glenoid bone deficiency

Glenoid bone insufficiency can jeopardize shoulder surgery outcomes by offering too little bone stock for secure component implantation. As leaders worldwide in the use of patient-specific instrumentation, a major advance in shoulder arthroplasty, Mayo specialists offer options to this challenging pathology.

Surgery relieves tumor compression, nerve transplant restores function

Treating a cell chondrosarcoma of the cervical spine, the Mayo team surgically removed the tumor compressing the vertebral artery and C6 and C7 nerve roots, and performed an ulnar fascicular nerve transfer to maximize upper extremity function.

Research
