Objective: The purpose of our study was to analyze the outcomes patients treated with combined open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) for selected cases acetabular fractures. Design: Retrospective case series. Setting: University Medical Center. Patients Participants: Four hundred twenty underwent ORIF displaced fractures at institution. Twenty-one these THA. All surgeries were performed under direct supervision a fellowship-trained orthopaedic...
Objectives: To assess the wound complications and reductions achieved in a cohort of patients with pilon fractures who were treated using novel lateral approach. Design: Retrospective review. Setting: Two level 1 trauma centers affiliated academic institutions. Patients/Methods: All 44 (in 43 patients) by senior authors open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) approach as primary included. Intervention: Data regarding medical comorbidities, mechanism injury, soft-tissue injury sustained...
Background: A variety of treatment options exist for open pilon fractures the distal end tibia. In this study, we evaluated use a staged protocol designed to minimize risk soft-tissue complications and allow optimal reduction fracture. Methods: Sixty-eight patients presenting with an fracture were identified from prospectively maintained database 186 consecutive patients. Fifty-nine sixty-eight patients, average age forty-seven years, followed thirty-four months formed study cohort. Within...
Serial measurements of the volume, length, and width feet seventeen pregnant women were made at, or close to, thirteenth thirty-fifth weeks pregnancy eight postpartum. The same twice on a control group sixteen nulliparous at intervals that ranged from to twenty weeks. There was no change in length either group. mean volume increased 57.2 milliliters between early late (p less than 0.001) decreased by only 8.42 These changes attributed retention fluid an increase soft tissue not stretching...
High-energy pelvic trauma, with posterior disruption, produces high morbidity and mortality rates. Part of the initial resuscitation has included an anterior external fixator to close ring, thereby decreasing blood loss reducing mortality. However, this technique been found be less efficacious in certain situations. This stimulated interest alternative methods stabilization, which led recent development emergency "C" clamp. We present one potential pitfalls new device, discuss pertinent...
ABSTRACT Background: Atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS) is a diagnosis describing misalignment of the C1 vertebra relative to C2. Excessive translation this joint, located adjacent medullary brain stem, can lead devastating neurological consequences. A higher prevalence AAS within Down syndrome (DS) population has been well-established. This study aims establish rate DS in patients hospitalized for and compare outcomes between with without DS. Methods: utilized National Inpatient Sample (NIS)...
The objective of this study was to understand postoperative resorption the anterior osseous fragment following closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures its effect on final range motion (ROM). Eighty-six patients that underwent CRPP had sagittal or axial plane deformities resulting in an fragment. Humerocapitellar angle (HCA), humeral line (AHL) rotation (AoR) were measured. A total 11 (12.8%) failed resorb fragment, 10 (90.9%) satisfactory...
Injuries of the tarsometatarsal joint complex ranging from purely ligamentous to multidirectionally unstable midfoot fracture-dislocations are anatomically fixed minimize long-term sequelae including post-traumatic arthritis, pes planus deformity, and chronic pain. Lateral column disruption is commonly treated with temporary Kirschner wire (K-wire) fixation, maintaining alignment during healing allowing resumption physiologic motion after hardware removal. More fracture patterns may require...
A fifteen-year-old male patient sustained a posteriorly dislocated right capital femoral Delbet type Ib epiphyseal fracture-separation and acetabular posterior column fracture after low-energy trip fall. The epiphysis was closed reduced fixed with cannulated screws on an urgent basis. He underwent osteosynthesis via Kocher-Langenbeck approach two days thereafter. Twenty-two months injury, he weight-bearing the lower extremity without radiologic evidence of avascular necrosis or clinical pain...

We hypothesized that heme oxygenase‐1 (HO‐1) attenuates diabetic complications via stimulation of a potent vascular protector including adiponectin in rodent with type 2 diabetes. examined the effect cobalt protoporphyrin (CoPP) on serum levels obese and obsess‐diabetic Zucker rats. The onset diabetes or obesity coincided decrease HO activity, which was restored by administration CoPP. Upregulation HO‐1 expression rats produced an increase (p<0.003), decreased superoxide (p<0.05)...
A 70-year-old woman pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle presented with multiple orthopaedic injuries including humeral head fracture dislocation large segment of located in the mediastinum. Thoracic surgery personnel performed minimally-invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic extraction head, and patient underwent subsequent reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.Intramediastinal displacement is rare, yet serious traumatic injury that necessitates early recognition comanagement cardiothoracic or...
