Abstract

to review the medical files of 19 patients with a diagnosis of amyoplasia, who underwent percutaneous extensor osteotomy of the distal femur to correct deformities in whom the knees were fixed in flexion. we analyzed 37 osteotomy procedures on 35 knees that presented an initial deformity in which the knees were fixed in flexion at 33.8°. All of these knees underwent percutaneous extensor osteotomy of the distal femur and were followed up for a mean period of 73.7 months. we observed recurrence of the deformity in 29 osteotomy cases, i.e. in 78.4% of them. The mean recurrence velocity of the deformity was 0.69°/month. percutaneous extensor osteotomy of the distal femur provided sufficient correction of deformities in which the knee was fixed in flexion in these amyoplasia cases, but there was a significant degree of recurrence among the patients analyzed.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 September 2015.
All research outputs
#21,157,205
of 25,986,827 outputs
Outputs from Revista Brasileira de Ortopedia (English Edition)
#1
of 1 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#179,424
of 243,663 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Revista Brasileira de Ortopedia (English Edition)
#3
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,986,827 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 0.5. This one scored the same or higher as 0 of them.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 243,663 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
