Fractures of the distal third humerus may be complicated by complete lesions radial nerve which entrapped or compressed bone fragments. Indirect reduction and internal fixation result in a permanent lesion. We describe treatment these insertion bridge plate using minimally-invasive percutaneous technique. Six patients were operated on showed functional recovery. Healing fractures occurred at mean 2.7 months (2 to 3) neurological recovery 2.3 (1 5). In one patient infection resolved after...

The purpose of this study was to correlate the pre-operative imaging, vascularity proximal pole, and histology pole bone established scaphoid fracture non-union.This a prospective non-controlled experimental study. Patients were evaluated pre-operatively for necrosis fragment by radiography, computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Vascular status determined intra-operatively, demonstrating presence or absence puncate bleeding. Samples harvested from sent pathological...

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o impacto que as fraturas transtrocanterianas produzem sobre a qualidade de vida pacientes idosos, tratados cirurgicamente, durante período um ano acompanhamento. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Foram selecionados 73 idosos com fratura transtrocanterina, idade igual ou superior 65 anos ambos os sexos. Foi aplicado questionário padronizado, para se obter informações quanto aos hábitos vida, atividade física, funcionalidade, deambulação e estado cognitivo. excluídos óbitos ocorridos...

To evaluate patients with transverse fractures of the shaft humerus treated indirect reduction and internal fixation plate screws through minimally invasive technique.Inclusion criteria were adult diaphyseal closed, isolated or not occurring within 15 days initial trauma. Exclusion compound fractures.In two patients, proximal screw loosening occurred, however, consolidated in same mean time as rest series. Consolidation up to 5 degrees varus occurred five cases extension deficit was observed...

Lower limb amputations should be evaluated carefully, especially with regard to the possibility of preserving knee joint enable a more physiological gait and lower energy consumption. Below-knee were performed immediately below tibial tuberosity maintenance insertion patellar tendon, resulting in very short, but functional stumps. This case study examined whether short below-knee stumps allow gait, as compared proximal amputations.Between June 2010 2011, four patients had extremely...

Amputation, especially of the lower limbs, is a surgical procedure that gives excellent results when conducted under appropriate conditions. In 1949 Ertl developed technique for transtibial osteomyoplastic amputation which restored intraosseous pressure through canal obliteration and expanded area terminal support bony bridge between fibula distal tibia. The aim this study was to investigate effectiveness modification original Ertl's in cortical osteoperiosteal flap created from tibia used...

Purpose: The asymmetry of muscular strength after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is associated with increase in the development new lesions. This precisely assessed by isokinetic dynamometry which a high-cost technique, limited to major centers and hospitals. Thus, aim this study was test accuracy one most frequently used functional questionnaires, Lysholm score, diagnose knee torque deficit. Methods: In total, 115 patients were evaluated ACLR. Knee symptoms using...

Bone loss was in the past treated by several methods, such as bone distraction and use of nonvascularized or tissue-bank grafts. With advent modern microsurgical techniques, vascularized flap has been used with good results; it resolves local nutritional problems, repairs soft tissue that is often damaged severe trauma, treats due to tumors, pseudarthroses, osteomyelitis. This paper reports authors’ experience iliac-crest flaps treat orthopedic pathologies five patients traumatic (<10...

Os autores descrevem o método cirúrgico inédito para tratamento das fraturas da diáfise do úmero, com placa colocada por técnica minimamente invasiva. Após estudos anatômicos, foram identificadas três acessos cirúrgicos pelos quais se pode introduzir uma na face anterior sem risco de lesão vásculo nervosa. O acesso proximal faz entre os múculos deltóide, lateralmente, e bíceps braquial, medialmente. Nas terço médio distal é feito músculos braquial a introduzida distal. distais úmero mesmo,...

Although a variety of surgical techniques are available for the treatment ankle degenerative disease, arthrodesis is common especially unilateral posttraumatic arthritis in young patients. A clear trend toward internal fixation evident, but fusion site compression known to play an integral role primary bone healing.Between September 2001 and October 2009, 17 adults with painful end-stage were treated tension band technique achieve tibiotalar arthrodesis.Tibiotalar was obtained all patients...

OBJETIVO: avaliar o desempenho da haste extensível ancorada por ganchos (HIMEX) em deformidades osteogênese imperfeita (OI). MÉTODOS: Todas as crianças operadas com HIMEX entre 1990 - 2004. Foi comparado número de fraturas, reaparecimento e capacidade deambulação antes após a HIMEX; incidência migração sobrevida curvas sobrevivência. RESULTADOS: 14 pacientes (2 18 anos), oito do sexo feminino, incluindo 46 procedimentos, 39 primários sete re-operações. Idade média na primeira fratura 148,21...

Of the possible levels of amputation, transtibial amputations result in functionally excellent outcomes. However, contrast to hind foot amputations, such as Syme and especially Boyd acute or late complications related amputated stump are frequent with various described techniques. The aim this study was describe a (including calcaneum fat pad) pedicled sensate flap surface that allowed full terminal weight-bearing adults. One male patient, 66 years old schizophrenia chronic distal tibial...

The preservation and functionality of a limb affected by malformation (such as congenital pseudoarthrosis the tibia) or severely mangled lower in children, despite modern reconstructive techniques, remains challenging, often eventually requiring amputation to achieve better outcome. classical Syme Boyd procedures are functionally than transtibial (TT) amputation, but not feasible for tibial pseudoarthrosis. TT delivers an excellent, effective, functional stump that usually leads, after...
