The outcome in 119 patients who were operated on with a conventional standard lumbar discectomy procedure was retrospectively compared that 299 microsurgical technique developed Homburg/Saar, Federal Republic of Germany by the senior author (W.C.). All this consecutive series had "virgin" radiculopathy evaluated and upon two experienced surgeons at one institution. Determination final made objectively an impartial third party using identical criteria for both groups, patient self-evaluation...
Background: Transcranial photobiomodulation (t-PBM) consists in the delivery of near-infrared light (NIR) to scalp, directed cortical areas brain. NIR t-PBM recently emerged as a potential therapy for depression, although safety repeated treatments has not been adequately explored. Objective: This study assessed incidence side effects, including weight and blood pressure changes, during sessions using light-emitting diode source. Methods: We performed secondary analysis double-blind clinical...
Purpose: To compare clinical outcomes of transconjunctival Müller’s muscle recession with levator disinsertion (TMRLD) to the traditional gold weight implantation in patients paralytic lagophthalmos. Methods: A retrospective nonrandomized comparative review who had and TMRLD surgeries for lagophthalmos from January 2016 2023 was performed. The main outcome comparisons were measurement changes lagophthalmos, marginal reflex distance 1, visual acuity, corneal examination. Complication...
Distal radius fractures are one of the most common upper extremity in orthopaedics. Unstable distal often managed with volar locking plates (VLP). However, fragment-specific fixation may be more appropriate for dorsal rim, ulnar corner, isolated radial styloid, and small corner fragments. While approach is common, surgeon should also familiar dorsal, radial, extensile approaches. This article discusses a contemporary surgical technique open reduction internal using VLP via flexor carpi...
While complexity of distal radius fractures varies, volar plating is the most prevalent surgical option in adult injuries. The time between date injury and intervention varies according to several factors, including timing presentation surgeon's availability. This study aims understand impact a delay on operative time, patient-reported outcomes, reoperation rates.A retrospective review was performed patients treated with from 2017 2020 at single institution by multiple surgeons....
Distal one-third clavicle fractures are frequently unstable and often require surgical fixation due to high rates of nonunion. Many common methods have union but associated with hardware discomfort need for secondary surgery. The purpose this study was evaluate the outcomes a technique involving arthroscopically assisted open reduction internal distal via coracoclavicular (CC) suspensory endobutton cerclage tape.
The purpose of this study was to identify and characterize factors that may contribute revision surgery following primary cubital tunnel release (CuTR) surgery.
Fractures of the olecranon occur from fall on elbow or outstretched hand resulting in eccentric contracture triceps musculature and subsequent avulsion proximal aspect ulna. These fractures are both inherently intra-articular unstable, therefore surgical repair is generally indicated. We will present two techniques for fractures, including tension band wiring locking plate constructs.
Optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF) is a surgical technique commonly and effectively employed in the treatment of recalcitrant, vision-threatening papilledema. Unilateral blindness, known risk unilateral ONSF widely cited with 1%-2% incidence. In this case, 58-year-old patient who presented symptomatic bilateral hemorrhagic papilledema unresponsive to medical therapy underwent uneventful via standard superomedial eyelid crease incision. The postoperatively severe vision loss. Workup...
Background: Transfusion is a known risk of total hip arthroplasty (THA). It has been associated with multitude medical complications and increased cost. Prior studies report transfusion rates THA, wide variation, but most cannot differentiate the surgical approach utilized. The anterior (AA) for THA operative time, complications, blood loss, little data exists regarding actual rate approach.
 Methods: We performed retrospective review 390 consecutive, elective, primary unilateral AA...
Category: Ankle Arthritis; Introduction/Purpose: Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has become an accepted alternative to arthrodesis for end-stage arthritis and seen significantly increased utilization in the past decade1. The Salto Talaris total prosthesis shown excellent short-term mid-term survivorship results since its FDA approval U.S. 20062,3. At a minimum of five-year follow-up, currently reported midterm ranged from 93.3% 100% with equally satisfactory clinical outcomes as evidenced...
Proximal humerus fractures are one of the most common fractures. Although optimal treatment remains controversial, surgical management with proximal locking plate fixation has been shown to be a reliable modality in properly selected patient. We will present technique repair fixation.
Orbital implant extrusion is a known complication following evisceration and enucleation. In this case report, we present 45-year-old woman who presented with left silicone exposure infection 2 years saddle nose on examination. CT of the maxillofacial bones without contrast showed bilateral soft tissue infiltration around superior recti muscles, as well nasal septum perforation from extensive sinus disease. Left orbitotomy revealed small fibrotic mass near orbital roof. Biopsy serology...
