Neglected fracture of neck of femur in young adults is a major problem in developing countries. Existing treatment options varies from osteotomy to various graft techniques (muscle pedicle, vascularized and nonvascularized fibula etc.). There is paucity of literature regarding the use of double angle barrel plate and hip screw in such cases. We conducted a prospective longitudinal observational...

BACKGROUND Long-term patency of extracranial-to-intracranial (EC-IC) vein bypass is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE We report our experience of patency of arterial pedicle grafts and interposition vein grafts for the purpose of EC-IC bypass. METHODS We analyzed 294 consecutive patients who underwent 178 intracranial arterial pedicle bypass procedures and 152 intracranial vein bypass procedures...

BACKGROUND To compare radiologic results of posterior release, internal distraction, and final pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) and spinal fusionwith one-stage posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) in treating multi-level severe congenital scoliosis. METHODS Forty-onesevere congenital scoliosis patients were used in the study. Group A comprised 24 patients who underwent one-stage PVC...

This study is to investigate the predictive factors of blood loss in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients. Retrospective analysis was performed in patients with thoracolumbar kyphotic deformity secondary to ankylosing spondylitis who underwent PSO from 2008 through 2013. Patient's demographics, preoperative and postsurgical global kyphosis (GK) angle, preoperative hematologic tests and other fa...

The method of valgus revascularizating tibia osteotomy using autoplasty the clinoid defect by a pedicle graft is proposed for treatment patients with varus gonarthrosis. Nine deforming arthrosis, decompensated form, stages 2 and 3, were operated on. Varus changes in tibiofemoral angle ranged from 5 to 15. mean consolidation term region was about 10 weeks. Follow up period at least years. clinic...

Spine deformities are among the most important spinal disorders, affecting health-related life quality. Although there are some studies in past centuries, most spine deformity-related studies and research has started in the last century. Many surgical techniques, performed between 1960 and 1990, made scoliosis a touchable pathology. These techniques started with Harrington"s system, wiring tech...

Introduction Le Fort I and sagittal split ramus osteotomies are the most commonly performed orthognathic surgery procedures on the maxilla and mandible, respectively. Techniques Despite progress in the techniques, these procedures may still be associated with morbidity, expressed as inflammation, inadequate bony union, periodontal damages or in extreme cases even total bone loss. Discussion...
