The diagnostic and therapeutic modalities utilized in the management of pelvic ring fractures depend on patient characteristics, mechanism of injury, and hemodynamic status at the time of presentation. Knowledge of the complex anatomy and biomechanics of pelvic stability may guide appropriate initial management strategies. Even with the development of specific treatment algorithms and advances ...

Dear Sir, We read “Non-operative management is superior to surgical stabilization in spine injury patients with complete neurological deficits: A perspective study from a developing world country, Pakistan” by Shamim et al.[9] with interest. Their work is from one of the largest and well-established and respected private health care hospitals in Pakistan. Their observations and recommendations ...

We present the case of a 50-year-old male with consistent back pain, not resolving with conservative treatment. Plain radiograms demonstrated a lytic lesion at the level of the 8(th) thoracic vertebra. Thorough examination with computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a hemangioma extending to the posterior third of the vertebral body, compressing the spinal cord at the l...

Diaphyseal fractures of humerus are common, representing 3% all and 20% fractures. Though compression plate osteosynthesis is the gold standard, interlocking intramedullary nailing also a reliable option. In this present study we evaluated functional outcome diaphyseal treated with nails. A total 36 patients humerus, selected between October 2020 to May 2021 were managed by closed nail humerus....

this prospective study, conducted in 8 cities of iran from 1999 to 2000. out of total 16,573 trauma patients, 106 (0.63%) included in this study had renal injury. this study aimed at investigation of incidence, etiology and management of renal trauma patients in iran. they were 87 (82.1%) male and 19 (17.9%) female patients. renal trauma mechanism was mainly blunt injury (93.4%). road traffic c...

Objectives: The purpose of the current case presentation was to indicate the usefulness of long thoracic and lumbar (TL) spinal stabilization by percutaneous minimally invasive instrumentation. Materials and methods: From August 2012 to May 2013, we performed long TL spinal stabilization with VIPER 2 system (Depuy Spine, Inc., MA, US) by using a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) posterior approa...

an 80-year-old diabetic man with severe aortic stenosis was admitted to our hospital for cardiogenic shock complicating non-st-elevation myocardial infarction. echocardiographic evaluation showed also a severe degree of both left ventricular dysfunction and mitral regurgitation. the patient was initially stabilized with inotropes and mechanical ventilation was necessary because of concurrent pu...

AIm: Spinal anesthesia is an appropriate technique for lumbar spine surgeries of two to three hours duration. The aim of this study is to document our experience on spinal anesthesia administered to the patients with degenerative lumbar spine. mAterIAl and methOds: A total of 497 patients underwent spinal stabilization surgery with spinal anesthesia for degenerative lumbar spinal disorders in a...

BACKGROUND Anterior glenohumeral instability most commonly affects younger patients and has shown high recurrence rates with nonoperative management. The treatment of anterior glenohumeral instability has undergone significant evolution over the 20th and 21 centuries. METHODS This article presents a retrospective comprehensive review of the history of different operative techniques for should...

Aim: to report our clinical experience and radiologic results of a surgical stabilization with posterior joint reinforcement. Methods: retrospective study of 6 consecutive patients, with a mean age of 18 years, with complete posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocation operated on by the same operative technique. Surgical stabilization was obtained with sternoclavicular loops passed anteriorly ...
