Previous works had successfully demonstrated the clinical effectiveness of unilateral external fixator in treating various types fracture, ranging from simple type, such as oblique and transverse fractures, to complex fractures. However, literature that investigated its biomechanical analyses further justify efficacy is limited. Therefore, this paper aimed analyse stability for different including oblique, AO32C3 comminuted, 20 mm gap fracture. These fractures were reconstructed at distal...

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign condition but can lead to severe long-bone deformities. Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology rapidly developing field that has now been popularized aid surgeons in preoperative planning. We report case of hip deformity 21-year-old woman who suffered from fibrous and underwent corrective osteotomy. utilized open-source 3D computing software for planning before producing an osteotomy guide the operation.

Introduction Managing patients who present with symptoms of cervical myelopathy secondary to ossification the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is challenging. Various factors such as number levels involved OPLL, types canal occupying ratio, K-line characteristics, and C2-C7 lordosis angle were found guide decision-making surgical approaches in managing this condition. However, no clear treatment algorithm has been published. This study aims investigate outcome management OPLL using a...

The management of fractures around the knee in elderly population can be challenging due to complexity patients and fracture characteristics. In this study, we aimed investigate short-term outcome who had were treated with primary total arthroplasty. study included at least 70 years old poor bone quality presented a that would difficult treat open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) as well 55 presenting severe concomitant osteoarthritis.This is cross-sectional which all underwent early...

Introduction:To investigate the use of a tubular retractor to provide access craniovertebral junction (CVJ) sparing soft palate with aim reducing complications associated traditional transoral approach but yet allowing adequate decompression CVJ.Materials and methods: Twelve consecutive patients severe myelopathy (JOA-score less than 11) from ventral CVJ compression were operated between 2014-2020 using assisted decompression.Results: All improved neurologically statistically (p=0.02).There...

An external fixator device is a medical implant used to keep fractured bones stabilized and in alignment. It consists of pins which are placed into the bone, extending outside surface skin, attached rigid rod it place. The aim this study investigate most suitable material for fixator. Firstly, 3D model two unilateral uniplanar with properties titanium stainless steel were constructed at Solidworks software all other parameters set constant. Meanwhile, CT images lower limb reconstruct femur...

Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dissociation is one of the common injuries affecting adults.The stability ACJ largely depends on integrity acromioclavicular ligament, coracoclavicular capsule, trapezius muscle and deltoid muscle.The injury has been classified by Rockwood into six types treatment options can be guided classification.TightRope fixation many surgical procedures available to address separation.It consists tensioning a no. 5 Fibrewire suture secured at both ends lowprofile metallic...

The porous property of tantalum metal coupled with its high frictional surface and biocompatibility has made it an ideal biomaterial to facilitate bony fusion. This is not unfamiliar surgeons as been utilized good clinical outcomes in arthroplasty. usage cages spine surgery gained traction. Complications resulting from the use cage lumbar fusion were rarely reported. Here authors would present a case revision spinal where underwent migration previous posterior interbody surgery. We further...

Leg orthosis is one of medical device for fracture bone treatment. Several complications have been reported when patients are wearing the conventional Plaster Paris or fibreglass leg orthosis. Its including numbness due to tight application, swelling, venous congestion and skin irritation. Therefore, aim this study develop biomechanical analyse a customized cast that could tackle those complications. First, was scanned using 3D scanner. The constructed from model designed 3-Matic software...

Scapulothoracic dissociation is a potentially limb-threatening and life-threatening high energy injury. Diagnosis could be obscured due to other associated trauma sustained by the patient. We present rare case of motor vehicle accident involving 2 motorcyclists who collided onto each other, resulting in both victims sustaining left upper limb scapulothoracic dissociation.International Journal Human Health Sciences Vol. 03 No. July’19. Page: 169-171

Introduction: Treatment of comminuted intra-articular fractures around the knee in elderly population could be challenging. Factors such as pre-existing comorbidities, osteoporosis, cartilage damage and deformity make fracture reduction difficult. Patients outcome is guarded due to risk delayed or non-union, weight bearing prolonged rehabilitation phase. Methods: We present a retrospective study on 12 patients who underwent early primary total replacement after sustaining from 2017 2019....

Introduction: Insoles are recommended for the treatment of patients with neuropathic foot to distribute plantar pressure while preventing recurrent ulceration. Different types insole available but cost is major limiting factor. Thus, it justifiable conduct this study evaluate efficacy effective locally-designed bilayer Lunairmed insoles as an adjunctive Eichenholtz Stage III Charcot neuroarthropathy in our centre.
 Methods: This was a prospective observational conducted tertiary centre,...
