Abstract Background Quadrilateral space syndrome is a painful disorder of the shoulder caused by static or dynamic entrapment axillary nerve and posterior humeral circumflex artery. It was first described in 1983; however, it an uncommon that initially presents with nonspecific pain selective deltoid atrophy, diagnosis often delayed owing to its rarity. Young athletes overhead sports are more commonly affected this syndrome. Symptoms quadrilateral include silent persistent pain,...
Determining the rate of specific adverse events after volar plating performed for distal radius fractures.Retrospective.University level I trauma center.We searched electronic database all surgical procedures in our department using following keywords: fracture, wrist and plate fixation. We identified 315 patients, 12 whom were lost at follow-up.Volar fixation treatment fractures.At an average follow-up 5 years, 303 patients evaluated through medical records clinical radiographic assessment...
Background: Perforator flaps have been introduced for various kinds of reconstruction and resurfacing; in particular, the free thin anterolateral thigh flap is becoming one most preferred options soft-tissue defects. Methods: Between 1999 2002, authors used this as a nine cases covering hand defects after burn, crushing injuries, or severe scar contracture release. There were eight men woman, mean age patients was 31 years, size ranged from 7 × 3.5 cm to 15 9 cm; thinning performed all...
The treatment of radial neck fractures in children varies according to the displacement, angulation, and skeletal maturity. There is a general agreement that displaced with more than 30° angulations (Judet type III IV fractures) should be surgically treated. are several possibilities for Judet including percutaneous pin reduction, elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN), open reduction or without internal fixation. In this retrospective study we compared clinical radiographical...
Vascularized bone graft is most commonly applied for reconstruction of the lower extremity; indications its use in upper extremity have expanded recent years. Between 1993-2000, 12 patients with segmental defects following forearm trauma were managed vascularized fibular grafts: 6 males and females, aged 39 years on average (range, 16-65 years). The reconstructed site was radius 8 ulna 4. length defect ranged from 6-13 cm. In 4 cases, harvested used as a fibula osteoseptocutaneous flap. To...
Implants based on the polyetheretherketon (PEEK) polymer have been developed in last decade as an alternative to conventional metallic devices. PEEK devices may provide several advantages over use of orthopedic materials, including lack metal allergies, radiolucency, low artifacts magnetic resonance imaging scans and possibility tailoring mechanical properties. The purpose this study was evaluate clinical results at 12-month follow-up using a new plate made carbon-fiber-reinforced for...
Intra-articular incarceration of the epicondylar fragment occurs in 5-18 % all cases medial epicondyle fracture. It requires stable fixation to allow early motion, since elbow stiffness is most common complication following In this retrospective study, we report clinical and functional outcomes complications that occurred open reduction screw fractures with intra-articular incarceration.Thirteen children who had a fracture joint (type III) were surgically treated our university hospital...
Abstract This study reports results in 12 patients treated with “completely vascularized single‐stage approaches,” so defined because skin, tendon, and nerve are transferred as a compound flap, all vascularized. A free dorsalis pedis cutaneotendinous flap was used 7 patients, while radial forearm island transposed 5 patients. provides four extensor tendons (extensor digitorum comunis tendons), the artery permits inclusion of one completely tendon (palmaris longus) two “strips” (flexor carpi...
Multiple techniques for corrective osteotomy have been developed in recent years with the same aims: to improve radiographic parameters and motion, pain grip strength. Volar fixed-angle plates added a new concept treatment of distal radius fractures thanks low morbidity surgical approach strength final construct, allowing early mobilization return function.Between 2005 2012, 20 patients symptomatic dorsally malunited extra-articular underwent using volar locking plate without additional bone...
In Brief Ring avulsion injuries have long presented complex management problems. Despite microsurgical advances, it is difficult to achieve good functional results in complete degloving or amputations, and their remains somewhat controversial. Ten patients with class IV according Kay's classification were treated from 1986 2000. this study the authors subdivided into those amputation distal insertion of flexor digitorum superficialis tendon (class IVd, 5 cases); proximal IVp, 3 leaving...
Summary Children with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have a higher prevalence of intestinal malabsorption. Anemia is also common feature in these children. The aims this work were (a) to establish the iron deficiency HIV-infected children, (b) test hypothesis that related malabsorption, (c) see whether it may contribute anemia, and (d) evaluate sensitivity oral load investigation function. To accomplish goals, 71 symptomatic children enrolled. Iron serum values determined...
