Explanation of pathogenesis of skeleton deformities at genetic skeletal disorders through functional adaptation of bones
2020
Abstract
The authors have many years ongoing experience with treatment of skeleton deformities at Genetic Skeletal Disorders(GSD). Deformities of spine and lower extremities (knee and shank deformities) that can be corrected by braces and orthoses (both acting on the three point principle) and/or by low invasive surgical method - so-called guided growth.
Both orthotic and surgical methods of treatment use Hüter-Volkmann law (the 3rd mechanism of functional adaptation of bones) which involves growth of long bones.
