The purpose of this paper is to review the features and behaviour of the odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), now officially known as the keratocystic odontogenic tumour (KCOT); to analyze a series of histologically confirmed KCOT cases; and to review and discuss the redesignation of KCOT and the implications for treatment. Redesignation of the OKC as the KCOT by the World Health Organization (WHO) is...

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an excellent salvage procedure for debilitating conditions that included osteoarthritis, hip luxation, femoral head and neck fracture and revision of femoral head ostectomy providing excellent hip joint function. Six dogs with clinical condition of hip dysplasia with luxation (three), severe osteoarthritis (two) and hip luxation (one) weighing 30 kg b.wt were sub...

INTRODUCTION Anatomical abnormalities in the lower limb vessels are uncommon. However, the preoperative evaluation of the anatomical variations is very important for planning the operation procedure to prevent jeopardizing the donor leg. CASE PRESENTATION In this case report, a 23-year-old Asian woman who was scheduled to have vascularized free fibula transplantation for reconstruction of her...

This article describes a patient with multiple metastases from renal cell carcinoma who survived and maintained an ambulatory status for 15 years with no recurrence in the spine after en bloc resection of solitary spinal metastasis. Skeletal metastasis from renal cell carcinoma is common, second only to lung metastasis. Surgery plays an important role in the treatment of the metastasis because ...

We evaluated the results of fibular centralisation as a stand alone technique to reconstruct defects that occurred after resection of tumours involving the tibial diaphysis and distal metaphysis. Between January 2003 and December 2006, 15 patients underwent excision of tumours of the tibial diaphysis or distal metaphysis and reconstruction by fibular centralisation. Their mean age was 17 years ...

Objective: The cell therapy is at present considered a novel solution for the regeneration and also for the treatment of some disease of many tissues including bone and other mesenchymal derived tissues. The Legg-Calvè-Perthes (LCP) syndrome is a degenerative disease of the hip joint which is characterized by idiopatic avascular osteonecrosis of femoral head. This disease typically occurs in yo...

Fractures of the vestigial metacarpal and metatarsal bones, which are commonly referred to as splint can occur anywhere along length bone very common in horses all ages (Jackson et al., 2007). Although small nature, metacarpal/metatarsal bones integral parts supporting stabilising structures equine limb. They serve a site for important carpal tarsal ligament insertions 2005) such strong collate...

Biomechanics of fracture fixation and testing of mechanical properties of bone/implant construct from the viewpoint of checking the strength and resistance ability to acting forces are of current interest. Computer modelling known as mathematical modelling is regarded as an alternative to mechanical testing of properties on a testing machine. As a result, we get a 3D model of a real object (i.e...
