Proximal fractures of the fifth metatarsal (zone II and III) are common in elite athlete can be difficult to treat because a tendency toward delayed union, nonunion, or refracture. The purpose this case series was report our experience treating 10 NBA players, determine healing rate, return play, refracture role foot type these athletes.The records professional basketball players were retrospectively reviewed. Seven athletes underwent standard percutaneous internal fixation with bone marrow...
Background: Percutaneous internal fixation is currently the method of choice treating proximal zone II fifth metatarsal fractures. Complications have been reported due to poor screw placement and inadequate sizing. The purpose this study was define morphology help guide surgeons in selecting appropriate size preoperatively. Methods: Multiplanar analysis completed using computed tomographic (CT) scans from 241 patients. Specific parameters were analyzed defined anteroposterior (AP), lateral,...
Background: Current literature reports excellent rates of union following various lesser metatarsal osteotomy techniques. However, it is our experience that segmental midshaft shortening osteotomies heal very slowly and have a greater potential for nonunion than has previously been reported. The purpose this study was to assess report the time required achieve radiographic union. Methods: We reviewed charts postoperative radiographs 58 patients (representing 91 osteotomies) who underwent...
Tibialis anterior tendon ruptures are rare and can cause significant dysfunction. Often, conservative measures prescribed because of the morbidity a transfer as an operative solution. We present novel reconstruction technique using hamstring autograft, which may obviate need for local long-term bracing.Patients who underwent tibialis with autograft between 2011 2015 were screened inclusion. Eight included. Functional outcomes assessed pre-and-postoperatively Foot Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS),...
Abstract Pharyngoesophageal stenosis (PES) is a common and serious complication of head neck cancer treatments such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, tracheoesophageal puncture placement, total laryngectomy surgery. Dilation‐resistant requires surgical reconstruction, often with radial forearm free flap (RFFF). With the present technique, authors refine their previous bipaddled design used to reconstruct persistent fistulae (TEF) in combination PES. Accordingly, we novel triangular RFFF...
Abstract Background The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) is a versatile commonly used in head and neck reconstructive surgery. We describe the use of composite RFFF that includes muscle for reconstruction hostile wound posterior pharyngeal wall. Methods A 54‐year‐old male with history recurrent right palatine tonsil HPV+ squamous cell carcinoma developed severe soft tissue necrosis wall secondary to reirradiation. defect was reconstructed included brachioradialis (BR) flexor digitorum...
Evaluate utility of postoperative phosphate and calcium/phosphate ratio (Ca/P) as surrogates for parathyroid hormone (PTH) following total thyroidectomy.
Abstract Open‐mouth deformity after mandibular resection presents a challenge for surgeons and patients, contributing to significant functional cosmetic morbidity. We present an innovative surgical technique prevent or correct open‐mouth deformity. Tensor fascia lata slings were utilized in combination with maxillomandibular fixation surgically four patients who had previously undergone mandibulectomy at the time of contralateral following prior hemimandibulectomy reconstruction. Two...
Abstract Typical surgical treatment for invasive thyroid carcinoma at the level of cricoid substantially reduces surrounding cartilaginous support and risks damage to recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). We present a novel tracheal reconstructive technique that minimizes this injury risk. A 72‐year‐old man with underwent cricotracheal resection reconstruction using stair‐step approach. Diseased cartilage was removed by left hemitracheal hemicricoid resection. portion normal trachea also resected...
Category: Sports. Introduction/Purpose: Proximal fractures (Zones II and III) of the fifth metatarsal are common in elite athlete population with basketball players being especially prone to developing these injuries. Fractures Zones III can be difficult treat due tendency toward delayed union, nonunion, or refracture. The purpose this case series is report our experience treating 10 professional from National Basketball Association (NBA) for proximal determine healing rate, return play,...
case series.The restoration of defects in a single procedure with microvascular free flap reconstruction has become mainstay head and neck surgery. Yet patients complex pre-existing comorbid medical conditions, staged-reconstructive approach can enhance the safety improve patient's outcome.We present 3 representative examples larger series who underwent major discuss usefulness management patients.All patients, an existing composite defect setting prior radiation therapy, successful surgery...
Category: Sports Introduction/Purpose: Anterior tibial tendon ruptures are rare orthopedic injuries but can cause significant dysfunction and may need surgery to correct. Often conservative measures have been prescribed due the morbidity of a transfer as surgical solution. The aim this report is present novel reconstruction technique using hamstring autograft provide an outcome analysis subjective objective criteria in order demonstrate safety efficacy procedure which obviate for or long...
