BACKGROUND Intracranial volume (ICV) growth in patients with bilateral coronal craniosynostosis (BCS) is not well described. It is therefore important to evaluate the consequences of cranial surgery in children with this condition. The aim of the present study was to evaluate ICVs in patients operated on for BCS. METHODS A consecutive series of patients with BCS were operated on using spring-...

PURPOSE: While modern research on coronal craniosynostosis has vastly widened our breadth of knowledge regarding treatment of the condition, the mechanism underlying the development of the deformity remains uncovered and largely uninvestigated. This study evaluates midface and skull base development in nonsyndromic unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS), focusing on zygomatic and cranial base anat...

Primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a reliable procedure with reproducible long-term results. Nevertheless, there are conditions related to the type of patient or local conditions of the knee that can make it a difficult procedure. The most common scenarios that make it difficult are discussed in this review. These include patients with many previous operations and incisions, and those wit...

Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is a common condition and the leading cause of head shape abnormalities in infants. It is characterized by asymmetrical distortion of the skull resulting from external forces on the back of the head. DP has become more prevalent in infants and has increased dramatically since the introduction in 1994 of the “Back to Sleep” campaign. Management of this condition ...

Abstract Background Positional head deformity (PHD) is defined as a change in the shape of an infant’s skull due to external force. In certain cases, it can lead cosmetic deformities or even neurological issues its impact on developing nervous system. Therefore, we conducted this study investigate incidence and characteristics PHD term infants China preliminarily establish localized diagnostic ...
