One hundred sixty-seven cases of bronchial rupture have been reported, showing a 10-fold increase in incidence the past 10 years. The injury has 2 phases: bronchus itself, followed by development stricture at site rupture. Early diagnosis and repair are mandatory to prevent loss lung function. presence or absence pneumothorax, hemoptysis, emphysema is little value early diagnosis. Rib fractures always associated with patients over age 30 but frequently not seen under 30. Ninety-one per cent...
Psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety and depression are frequent persistent complaints following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Modeling these in animal models of TBI affords the opportunity to determine mechanisms underlying behavioral pathologies test potential therapeutic agents. However, testing has yielded inconsistent results. The goal current study was employ a battery tests measure multiple anxiety- depressive-like C57BL/6J mice, if male female mice differentially affected by injury....
Despite the diversity of hemorrhagic complications encountered in patients with hemophilia, bleeding within chest is uncommon. In 1943, review early literature by Freedman and associates<sup>1</sup>revealed only two cases disease complicated hemothorax; neither patient was a hemophiliac. These authors reported 22-year-old man familial history laboratory studies characteristic whose spontaneous hemothorax treated successfully repeated thoracenteses "numerous small transfusions." A similar...
Multiple techniques exist for patellar graft fixation during medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction, each with their respective advantages and disadvantages. In recent studies, the use of 2 small (3.2-mm), short, oblique tunnels looped has been shown to be effective MPFL reconstruction. This technique does not appear associated same risk fracture as larger (4.5-mm) transpatellar tunnels. A retrospective study also reported decreased recurrent instability cost compared suture...
Introduction: Intraoperative fluoroscopy is a ubiquitous tool in orthopaedic surgery. However, many surgeons and radiology technologists are not taught standard terminology to communicate with one another. Breakdown of communication leads inefficiencies. Simulation studies have demonstrated that common language for C-arm movements may reduce time capture the desired images number radiographs required. Our objective was investigate effect standardized protocol intraoperative on as perceived...
The authors reported a case of an 83-year-old man with ankylosing spondylitis throughout the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine who sustained three-column T10 osteoligamentous extension-distraction injury after low-energy trauma. A closed reduction was performed using incremental flexion on variable flexion-extension table subsequent stabilization robotic-assisted percutaneous pedicle screw placement. Postoperative radiographs at 7-month follow-up showed intact implants adequate alignment...
Background The objective of this study was to evaluate return activity following flatfoot reconstruction with lateral column lengthening (LCL) by assessing functional postoperative data and identifying patient characteristics associated poor function surgery. Methods Consecutive patients that underwent operative correction including LCL other necessary procedures from 2014 2019 3 fellowship trained foot ankle orthopedic surgeons were retrospectively administered Foot Ankle Ability Measure...

Comment This paper doesn't answer any questions, but it does make data available for study by others. The safety of patients and the availability good medical care should be issues discussion. paramedical personnel involved their training, geographic location victim in relation to a hospital, ground traffic or weather conditions are more important than method patient transport. In report such as this, utilize back side an argument. William D. Owens, M.D.
Tibia fractures are a common fracture of the lower extremity that pose increased risk for vascular injury. The clinical relevance injury, including particular vessel and number vessels injured, remains ambiguous. In this study, we evaluate effect arterial injury on orthopaedic outcomes patients with tibia fractures, while identifying trends in characteristics, fixation, plastic surgery intervention. This single-center retrospective cohort study performed at an academic level I trauma center...
