OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to investigate pulp survival following crown fracture with and without pulp exposure as well as with and without associated subluxation and in relation to stage of root development and type of enamel-dentine fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study consisted of 83 patients with 116 crown fractured incisors without pulp exposure and 35 patients wit...

The purpose of this paper is to describe a method of overcoming the instability of reduction in congenital dislocation and subluxation of the hip in children over the age of eighteen months. Despite the emphasis on early diagnosis and treatment, and although there is a great increase in the number of infants referred early, a disturbing number of children still remain undiagnosed until some tim...

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of soft-tissue release on hip subluxation and dislocation in cerebral palsy as well as activities of daily living after surgery. Patients and Methods: Soft-tissue release was performed in 13 patients (19 hips) with cerebral palsy. Of them, 10 had spastic quadriplegia and three had spastic diplegia. Mean ages were 8.6 years at surgery and...

Background. Radial subluxation of the extensor communis tendons at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints is a rarely reportedvinjury. These injuries have proved difficult to reproduce in cadaveric studies and have a low biomechanical likelihood of occurrence due to the ulnar direction of pull of the extensor communis tendons. It has been suggested that the juncturae tendinum may have a stabilisi...

The term subluxation has been used in this title because it denotes forward displacement of the last lumbar vertebra on the sacrum without a defect of the interarticular part of the neural arch. Some authorities accept the term spondylolisthesis only when a neural arch defect is present, and describe those cases without such a lesion as subluxation despite the marked attenuation of the neural a...

Atlantoaxial subluxation is a well-known but poorly recognized disease in rheumatoid patients. We report a patient with rheumatoid arthritis whose chief complaint was dyspnea on arrival to the emergency department (ED). After further investigation, spinal cord compression caused by atlantoaxial subluxation was diagnosed. This is an uncommon but important case that ED physicians should be aware of.
