ABSTRACT Purpose: The purpose of the study was to compare results anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) using standalone cages versus with plating for multilevel disc disease a 2-year follow-up. Background: ACDF is commonly performed procedure in cases neural compression caused by osteophytes or material. Some spine surgeons have reported unsatisfactory outcomes rates secondary high rate cage subsidence pseudoarthrosis. Internal fixation plate has been developed as an adjunct...

Segmental mandibular resection represents a challenge to maxillofacial surgeons in terms of accurate contouring reconstruction plates, restoration symmetry and maintaining condylar position the glenoid fossae.We propose CAD/CAM technique for fabricating patient-specific templates symmetrically prebend guide osteotomies reposition process proximal edentulous segment its preoperative position. We operated on two patients using this new technique.The custom-made showed excellent passive fit...

This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of virtually designed polyether-ether ketone (PEEK) sheets delineate and maintains three-dimensional patient's maxillary alveolar ridge.Fourteen patients (34 implants) with severely atrophied anterior ridges underwent rehabilitation using custom-made CAD/CAM PEEK acting as a containment system for interpositional mix particulate autogenous xenogeneic bone graft, fixed by mono-cortical screws. Radiographic Assessment included measurements linear...

Background: Many children with developmental dislocation of the hip especially in underdeveloped countries reach walking age and still remain undiagnosed, which can be detrimental to their growth development. Because lack medical services often encountered these regions, it would attractive find a cheap effective treatment. Our work evaluated results treatment by closed reduction or without adductor tenotomy prospective study. Methods: We included 20 patients this study 29 affected hips (15...

A prospective randomized study.To evaluate the effect of bone cement viscosity as well porosity on leakage during vertebroplasty and to analyze occurrence new vertebral fractures after procedure.Between April 2012 December 2013, 60 patients suffering from osteoporotic underwent vertebroplasty. The were randomly assigned into 2 equal groups. High-viscosity was used in group A, while low-viscosity B. Patients followed-up for a minimum years.Cement occurred 16 B (20 bodies) 6 (9 bodies)....

Unstable trochanteric fractures are challenging with a high rate of implant failure and re-operation. Cephalomedullary nails proved to be rational management choice for these injuries, yet other options have not been well assessed. The aim this study was compare the use DHS stabilizing plate (TSP) proximal femoral locked (PFLP) in unstable pertrochanteric fractures.This randomized controlled trial (RCT) included 40 patients (22 males, 18 females) (AO/OTA 31A2.2/A2.3). were into group 1...

Introduction: The endometrial function and receptivity have been accepted to be major limiting factors in the establishment of pregnancy. In spite improved almost all aspects IVF: ovarian stimulation, embryo culture transfer, pregnancy rates still not satisfactory. bottleneck is process implantation. Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) one nightmares reproductive medicine despite several strategies that described for management; there no universal agreement yet. Recently, intrauterine...

Integrated cage and screw designs were introduced for anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF) allegedly are superior to plating due their minimal profile.A descriptive study was designed as a prospective case series of 25 patients (30 operated discs) with disc disease treated zero-profile cage, followed up an average 16 months (range 12 -18 months). Functional assessment done the Neck Disability Index (NDI) Visual analog scale (VAS) scores arm neck pain. Furthermore, Nurick's...

Study Design. A prospective study of 20 multimorbid patients older than 65 years undergoing minimally invasive surgical treatment for odontoid fracture. Objective. To analyze the results percutaneous transarticular atlantoaxial screw fixation as a new modality in this high risk group patients. Summary Background Data. Odontoid fractures are common injury pattern elderly. These typically present significant challenges geriatric often have multiple comorbidities that may adversely affect...

Introduction : Lag screw cut-out is a serious complication of dynamic hip fixation trochanteric fractures. The lag position has been acknowledged as one the important factors affecting cut-out. We propose modification Tip Apex Distance (TAD) and hypothesise that it could improve reliability predicting screws in these injuries. Materials Methods A retrospective study was conducted for fracture entries period from Jan 2018 to July 2022. hundred nine patients were suitable final analysis....

For the treatment of unstable non-osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures, clinical and radiological outcome short-segment fixation with USS™ - Universal Spine System (DePuy Orthopedics, Inc., Warsaw, IN, USA) CD HORIZON® LEGACY™ 5.5 Spinal System, (Medtronic Sofamor Danek USA, Memphis, TN, were compared.From March 2015 to January 2016, 40 consecutive patients traumatic fractures who met our inclusion criteria treated either USS system or CDH Legacy system. Segmental kyphosis angle (SKA)...

<h3>Background</h3> Fatty lesions (FL), similar to bone marrow oedema (BME) and sclerosis (SCL), are characteristic findings in MRI examinations of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) degenerative disc disease (DDD). It has recently been shown that FL associated syndesmophyte formation AS. The anatomic correlate not studied date. Current assumptions solely based on non-invasive data. <h3>Objectives</h3> To examine the cellular composition edges vertebral bodies AS or DDD by histology....

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the final vertical gain at deficient anterior maxillary alveolar ridges using buccal versus palatal approaches for segmental sandwich osteotomy (inlay technique). This is a single‐institutional randomized comparative clinical trial. Material and Methods population 16 patients with edentulous (40 implant sites). Patients were randomly divided into two equal groups. Both groups received down fracture ridge, approach (control group)...

Bilateral inverted third molar impaction is an extremely rare condition. We reported the case of a 50-year-old female patient with bilateral and impacted maxillary molars. Both were asymptomatic pathology free clinically radiographically. Surgical extraction these molars inaccessible positions requires aggressive bone removal on tuberosity bilaterally. Moreover, it contains high risk displacement into sinus. Conservative management was choice, patient's agreement, left in situ. Key...

randomized, prospective, and level I clinical study.To compare the outcomes radiological findings of revision discectomy alone versus with fusion as surgical treatment for recurrent lumbar disc herniation (RDH).RDH is a common complication following primary discectomy. The optimal procedure RDH still debated.Sixty patients were randomly divided into two equal groups: first group underwent second fusion. evaluated Visual Analog Scale (VAS) low back limb pains, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI),...

This was a prospective case series of 30 patients with post-discectomy syndrome an average 18 months follow-up (level IV).The efficacy managed by minimally invasive surgery transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) evaluated.In wherein conservative treatment had failed, the best surgical modality still remains controversial.Patients were functionally assessed using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for low back pain (LBP) and leg (LP) Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Radiological confirmed...

Lag screw cut-out is a serious complication of dynamic hip fixation in trochanteric fractures. position recognised as crucial factor influencing the occurrence lag cut-out. We propose modification Tip Apex Distance (TAD) and hypothesize that it could enhance reliability predicting these injuries. A retrospective study fracture cases was conducted from January 2018 to July 2022. total 109 patients were eligible for final analysis. The modified TAD measured millimetres, based on sum...

ABSTRACT Background: Low-density screw constructs yield significant radiographic and clinical improvements with reduced risk of neurological complications. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between coronal Cobb angle pelvic incidence (PI) in correction adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) using a low-density construct, as well association PI functional outcomes. Patients Methods: prospective cohort involved 60 posteriorly instrumented AIS patients, aged 10–16 years, angles...
