Background Trachomatous trichiasis (TT), inturned eyelashes from repeated infection with Chlamydia trachomatis, is the leading infectious cause of blindness in world. Though surgery will correct entropion caused by trachoma, uptake TT remains low. In this case-control study, we identify barriers that prevent patients receiving sight-saving surgery. Methodology/Principal Findings Participants were selected a database cases who did (acceptors) and not (non-acceptors) have as August 2015. We...
Literature on functional outcomes after ankle surgery is for the most part limited to return sport studies. The purpose of this study was determine occupational and following operative treatment unstable fractures in active duty military population. All treated with open reduction internal fixation at a single institution from 2013 2015 were reviewed. Inclusion criteria included personnel single-sided injury requiring management. patients had minimum 6 months follow-up. Forty-seven records...
We describe a case of 24-year-old male presenting urgently with juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) difficulty breathing, inability to swallow, and respiratory distress following throat swelling. The swelling was reduced administration dexamethasone the JNA surgically resected within 48 hours. This presentation atypical given acuity patient’s older age.
While Achilles tendon injuries are common amongst the general population, there very few cases in which simultaneous bilateral occur. Medial malleolar fractures at time of rupture have been cited literature and commonly missed. The following case outlines presentation, treatment, outcome a United States Army Soldier with ruptures addition to unilateral right medial fracture. This patient was able completely return duty within 1 year after being treated ORIF malleolus, end-to-end repair AT,...
Osteoporotic patients are at risk of peri-implant fractures after distal radius fixation. A unicortical screw in the proximal hole plate can theoretically decrease stress riser formation by eliminating far bone cortex. This construct has been proposed orthopedic literature to prevent but not tested an osteoporotic model.
Objectives: The purpose of our study was to determine the accuracy and reliability measuring on- off-track lesions within institution using circle line method. Methods: Electronic medical records between 2009 2019 were reviewed for active-duty military personnel who underwent a Latarjet or had recurrent dislocations shoulder joint. Advanced imaging (CT and/or MRI) glenoid humeral head bone loss; patients with both loss included in study. Measurement Hill-Sachs lesion (HSL) standardized prior...
Pubic symphysis diastasis is a complication of pregnancy that can lead to prolonged recovery, persistent pain, and functional disability if managed inappropriately. There lack universally accepted clinical guidelines with regards the timeframe defect criteria for surgical management, which contributes delayed care resulting in increased complexity subsequent impairments functionality quality life. The current standard utilizes non-operative measures exclusively separations measuring less...
Closed ruptures of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendon cause a loss active flexion at distal interphalangeal joint. Commonly referred to as 'jersey finger' because its association with tackling sports, aspect FDP is avulsed from insertion on phalanx in zone I, or without fragment bone. Because this classic injury mechanism and pattern, providers may not seek advanced imaging beyond plain radiographs. Although rare, more proximally occur. More often associated weak underlying...
