Plate osteosynthesis of the scaphoid, as reported earlier by Ender, has lost its importance in past few years, after Herbert's introduction simple and successful technique screw osteosynthesis. Only rare cases does one encounter failed healing or instability fragments. Even with a vascularized bone chip, it is not always possible to achieve consolidation. Particularly these situations, poor interfragmentary stability seems be reason for healing.Between January 2007 August 2009, we treated 7...
Retrospective study of a consecutive series operatively managed patients with cervical fractures diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) presenting to 3 institutions over an 8 year period.Assess demographics, fracture characteristics, outcome and complications in surgically.Cervical spine injuries related DISH represent difficult subgroup trauma treat. This subset is fraught potential the injury ankylosed spine, high rate co-morbidities, older demographics. The data literature on...
Objective. Long-term radiological and clinical outcome retrospective study of surgical treatment for T12 L1 burst fractures in perspective sagittal balance measures. Methods. Patients with age 16-60 years, complete radiographs, early surgery, follow-up (F/U) > 18 months were included strict exclusion criteria applied. Regional thoracolumbar kyphosis angles (RKA TLA) measured preoperatively at final F/U, as parameters the spinopelvic alignment. Clinical outcomes assessed using validated...
Minimally invasive surgical approaches for total hip replacement, such as the modified Smith-Petersen approach, have been reported to be advantageous over alternative techniques because of reduced soft tissue damage and improved immediate postoperative rehabilitation. This study compares advantages approach against lateral Hardinge femoral neck fractures in geriatric patients.In a randomized-controlled trial, 48 patients were treated by hemiarthroplasty using either or approach. Age,...
Study Design: Cross-sectional, international survey. Objectives: This study addressed the global perspectives concerning perioperative use of pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis during spine surgery along with its risks and benefits. Methods: A questionnaire was designed implemented by expert members in AO Spine community. The survey distributed to Spine’s surgeon (N = 3805). Data included demographic information, type region practice, anticoagulation principles, different patient scenarios,...
In vivo biomechanical comparison of the halo thoracic vest (HTV) and Philadelphia collar (PC).To delineate capacity both orthoses for immobilization atlantoaxial complex (AAC), e.g., their use in odontoid fracture care.Stable fractures can be treated with external using, a PC or HTV. Although HTV confers higher morbidity, particularly elderly patients, similar union-rate care compared PC, many surgeons are still prone to instead because former is thought accomplish increased rigidity at AAC....
Aims The aims of our study were to provide long-term information on the behaviour thoracolumbar/lumbar (TL/L) curve after thoracic anterior correction and fusion (ASF) determine impact ASF pulmonary function. Patients Methods A total 41 patients (four males, 37 females) with main (MT) adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) treated included. Mean age at surgery was 15.2 years (11 27). follow-up period 13.5 (10 18). Results For TL/L curve, mean flexibility evaluated supine pre-operative bending...
Human reproduction is a biological phenomenon, however, sociocultural factors such as marital status influence pregnancy outcome and reproductive success. In the present study impact of maternal on was tested for all births, which had taken place in Austria between 1999 2004, met following criteria: single nulliparity, mothers older than 19 years (n = 179 830). The rate preterm delivery (< 37 beginning weeks gestation) low birth weight 2500 g) among term births were significantly higher...
In Brief Study Design. A total of 12 human cervical spines were tested in vitro a biomechanical nondestructive set-up to compare the primary stability different posterior instrumentations after bilevel corpectomy. Objective. To evaluate 3-dimensional with special focus on impact pedicle screws. Summary Background Data. Cervical screw fixation gains popularity due supposed higher stability. However, studies are rare. Especially combination lateral mass and screws multilevel stabilizations has...
