Displaced scapular body fractures most commonly are treated conservatively. However there is conflicting evidence in the literature regarding outcomes owing to retrospective design of studies, different classification systems, and diverse outcome tools.The functional after nonoperative management displaced was assessed by change DASH (Disability Arm, Shoulder Hand) score; (2) radiographic glenopolar angle (GPA); (3) associated extrascapular injuries that may affect were identified.Forty-nine...
Background and purpose Tantalum rod implantation has recently been proposed for treatment of early stages femoral head osteonecrosis. The our study was to report the results its use in pre- post-collapse disease.Methods We studied prospectively 27 patients who underwent tantalum nontraumatic osteonecrosis between December 2000 September 2005. Patients were evaluated radiologically clinically using Steinberg classification Harris hip score (HHS). Disease stage varied II IV. Mean follow-up...
Prosthetic cost contributes greatly to the overall expense of THA. A key question, therefore, in selection implant technique is whether any price difference exists between a cementless and cemented femoral prosthesis. We evaluated most commonly used stems at three high-volume academic medical centers. Each hospital's costs for prostheses from manufacturers were recorded. The average implanting prosthesis was $296 more than stem, even with additional two batches bone cement accessories...
Abstract Posterior malleolus fractures (PMFs) (OTA 43B1.1) are frequently seen in combination with of the fibula, medial malleolus, and distal tibia; they can rarely be isolation. PMFs affect alignment ankle mortise stability syndesmosis. Techniques described for fixation include open reduction internal through a posterolateral or posteromedial approach anterior-to-posterior screw fixation. For selected minimally displaced nondisplaced posterior we developed percutaneous technique Achilles...
Abstract Cerebral white matter lesions (WML) are present in more than 50% of patients with osteonecrosis the femoral head (ONFH). Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) gene product is a detoxifying and pesticide metabolizing enzyme. Genetic variants PON1 have been found to influence occurrence progression WML. We examined whether two polymorphisms (M55L R192Q) associated ONFH studied 104 113 healthy age‐ sex‐matched subjects. used logistic regression models examine associations survival analyses (Cox...
Combined nerve blocks at the knee can provide safe anesthesia below avoiding potential complications of general or spinal while reducing need for opioids in postoperative period. This study presents outcomes a large series patients that underwent foot and ankle surgery receiving triple block knee.Three hundred eighty with (tibial, common peroneal saphenous nerve). Surgery included variety bone soft tissue procedures. The was performed by an orthopaedic surgeon lateral decubitus position.The...
Abstract The use of tibiotalocalcaneal nails for unstable ankle fractures in low demand elderly patients has been introduced as an alternative to open reduction internal fixation allow early weight-bearing and decrease soft tissue complications mechanical failures. This paper describes the technique hindfoot nailing reviews current literature. Overall, it is a minimally invasive expeditious procedure that provides stable withstand immediate ambulation frail patient. Future high-quality...
The aim of the present study was to investigate personality traits, psychological distress and functional disability in patients with non-traumatic osteonecrosis femoral head (ONFH).Sixty-seven participated study, 48 males 19 females. mean age 37.6 years (SD: 10.92, range: 15 - 61). Seventy-five healthy individuals, sex matched, served as controls. Socio-demographic information clinical data were collected. following instruments used: General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), Defence Style...

This case report describes the treatment of a 48-year-old female patient, smoker, with closed comminuted pilon fracture (AO/OTA 43-C2.1)and ipsilateral displaced intra-articular calcaneus 82-C3).Two independent circular frames were applied in way to preserve tibiotalar range motion (ROM).The posterior facet was reduced through small incision anterior tip distal fibula.A frame consisting two-third ring talus and footplate used hold reduction correct varus length.Pilon similarly percutaneous...
Abstract The use of nail–plate constructs has been suggested for treatment elderly patients with distal femur fractures to facilitate stable fixation and early ambulation. In this article, we describe a technique link the 2 implants without fluoroscopic “perfect-circle” technique. This can be used from different manufacturers.
Total joint arthroplasty is one of the most common options for end stage osteoarthritis major joints. However, we must take into account that thrombosis after hip/knee may be related to mutations in genes encoding blood coagulation factors and immune reactions anticoagulants [heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)/thrombosis]. Identifying characterizing genetic risk should help develop diagnostic strategies or modify anticoagulant search etiological mechanisms cause thrombophilia following...
Summary: Periprosthetic fractures about the hip and knee are challenging injuries to treat for orthopaedic surgeon. The pre-existing femoral implant poor bone quality provide difficulties in achieving stable fixation. We present a surgical technique clinical series of 5 patients describing use outcomes 3.5 screw with “double washer” achieve bicortical fixation around prosthesis.
ABSTRACT Background Vascularized fibular grafting has been reported as a successful joint preserving surgery for patients with femoral head osteonecrosis. Few reports exist regarding the outcomes associated total hip arthroplasty after failed vascularized grafting. This study aims to highlight early results and complications this procedure. Materials methods We retrospectively reviewed charts radiographs of 30 (38 hips) who underwent conversion prior an uncemented utilizing modern bearings...
