The use of bone-anchored osseointegration implants for amputation reconstruction continues to expand throughout the world. Benefits are thought include elimination socket-related problems and improved control proprioception prosthetic limb. Reported outcomes have been positive, but skepticism remains with regard risk infection implant failure. Further results from early adopters therefore needed prior widespread acceptance regulatory approval.A retrospective review first 31 consecutive...
The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes acute correction large varus and valgus deformities with simultaneous distal femoral tibial osteotomies. Acute coronal plane complex if done incorrectly, can lead problems like non-union, soft tissue problems, joint line obliquity. Radiographic, clinical, patient-reported are analysed through a retrospective series 21 extremities in 18 consecutive patients coexisting who underwent concurrent proximal osteotomies internal fixation. mean...
Case: This report discusses 2 successful cases of traumatic transulnar amputees who underwent osseointegration implantation. After surgery, a myoelectric prosthetic equipped with Coapt (Chicago, IL) recognition software was attached directly to the implant. Patients training pattern learn control multiarticulating hand and wrist. Both implants osseointegrated without signs loosening at most recent follow-up 18 months years, respectively. Prosthetic gradually improved allow activities daily...
Background: The study was done (1) to report on our recent experience with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate-coated interlocking intramedullary nails (CS-IMN) for infection prevention or eradication and (2) compare the efficacy of CS-IMN versus polymethylmethacrylate-coated IMN (PMMA-IMN) eradication. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records consecutive patients who underwent a limb salvage procedure cure PMMA-IMN CS-IMN. patient demographics, host-type, pre-operative infecting...
Pleural effusions are common problems for the emergency medicine physician and may require emergent therapeutic thoracentesis to prevent respiratory failure. Rarely, a pleural fluid collection in fact be spontaneous hemothorax. A 22-year-old man presented department with chest pain. He had history of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) as result minimal change disease. The patient was visible distress absent breath sounds right chest. x-ray revealed large effusion mediastinal shift. Emergent...
