Reconstructive surgery aims to correct sequelae following a severe trauma causing deformity or a loss of function. It is a complex area of orthopedics that includes several pathologies and many therapeutic options.
If you’re looking for relief from the pain of severe trauma, contact us to learn more about Dr. Yves Laflamme’s expertise in joint replacement.
The two most common procedures
The two most common procedures are: corrective osteotomy, to achieve a more normal alignment in case of limb deformity, and joint replacement, to improve function.
Example of malunion combined with hip arthrosis, corrected surgically with a modular prosthesis and osteosynthesis of the proximal femur.
Correction of tibial non-union following gunshot trauma in a 23 year old girl. A tibial osteotomy combined with nail and plate fixation allowed the realignment and healing of her leg.
Sequelae of a hip fracture with severe deformity. Reconstructioned with the Y3 plate associated with a dual mobility hip prosthesis.
