Abstract

Echo-sclerosis and phlebectomy are complementary. Thanks to them, it is possible to treat a post-surgical saphenous branch in a single session. Echo-sclerosis deals with the origin of the varicose vein, which is often deep in the panniculus adiposus, predilection area of this technique. Phlebectomy concerns the visible varicose segment. Complete erradication is achieved. Thanks to this complementary technique it is possible to gain a long-lasting result. Echo-sclerosis has treated the varicose vein upstream and phlebectomy downstream.

The role of gait analysis in the orthopaedic management of ambulatory cerebral palsy.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The literature was reviewed to describe the role of gait analysis in the orthopaedic management of ambulatory children with cerebral palsy and examine the current best evidence to support these roles. RECENT FINDINGS: Gait laboratory analysis is superior to visual or observational analysis of gait because it provides an objective record of gait that is able to quantify the magnitude of deviations of pathologic gait from normal and also explain these abnormalities. Recognizable gait patterns can be classified and used for making treatment decisions, the effectiveness of which can be assessed using gait analysis as a measure of gait outcomes. There are many sources of variability, however, including patients themselves, the gait laboratories and testing processes, interpretation of data and surgeons' surgical recommendations. SUMMARY: Although gait analysis has been shown to alter decision making, there is little evidence that the decisions based on gait analysis lead to better outcomes. Consequently, clinical gait analysis remains controversial, with wide variation in the rates of utilization of gait analysis in the management of children with ambulatory cerebral palsy. The time is ripe for clinical trials and cohort studies to provide the evidence to establish the appropriate utilization of this technology.
