Background: Hamstring muscles contracture is a major problem in the management of the cerebral palsy CP patient causing the crouch gait which is one of the most resistant conditions to treat. Methods: Twenty patients (40 knees) with spastic cerebral palsy diaplegia, between 7 – 12 years of age, presented to The National Institute of Neuromotor System of Egypt, from January 2010 to January 2011....

Burns of the front of the chest and abdomen and sometimes the front of the neck and axilla, mostly caused by flame in domestic accidents, are very common in Egypt. If deep, these burns can produce breast deformity in females either in childhood or in adolescence. This work considers 74 female breasts in 55 patients who had post-burn breast deformities due to accidents in childhood or early adul...

Traumatic cleft earlobes are a common problem encountered by plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Various techniques have been reported for the repair of traumatic cleft earlobes. Usually, the techniques of split earlobe repair are divided into two categories, namely straight- and broken-line repairs. Straight-line repair is simple and easy, but scar contracture frequently results in notching o...

OBJECTIVE To apply a mathematical model to determine the relative effectiveness of various tip-plasty maneuvers while the lateral crura are in cephalic position compared with orthotopic position. METHODS A Matlab (MathWorks, Natick, Massachusetts) computer program, called the Tip-Plasty Simulator, was developed to model the medial and lateral crura of the tripod concept in order to estimate t...
