The term adult reconstruction within the orthopedic community of 2014 is typically associated with hip and knee joint replacement. In this atlas, the focus of the Adult Deformity section is different and is primarily on osteotomy for realignment, correction of leg length discrepancy (LLD), and reconstruction of bone defects. In the context of this book, this section will deal primarily with adult issues that do not neatly fit into the Foot and Ankle, Trauma/Post-traumatic Reconstruction, Tumor, and Upper Extremity sections.
