Abstract

We will try to explain multiapical deformities in this chapter. We must identify the location and size of the deformity. Therefore, we draw the anatomic and mechanical axes of the bone either on the distal or proximal side of the deformity.

The intersection point of the axes of the proximal and distal sections is the CORA (Fig. 22.1b). The CORA is the abbreviated form of “center of rotation of angulation,” and it is the center point of the deformity. There is an apex and generally an apex or one CORA on the CORA region (Fig. 22.1c). Deformities with one apex or one CORA are defined as uniapical deformities.
