The objective of this review is to summarize the surgical options for primary osteoarthritis elbow, reported clinical outcomes, and suggested indications in previous literatures. management elbow arthritis has evolved because an improved understanding pathologic mechanisms manifestations as well development novel techniques devices. Osteocapsular arthroplasty (OCA), debridement, distraction art...

the present study aims to report a case of conjunctival necrosis and scleritis due to a subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonate. a 15-year-old boy received a subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonate after a pars plana vitrectomy due to an intraocular foreign body. seven days later, conjunctival necrosis and scleritis appeared at the site of injection. no improvement was seen after se...

During the ten year period from 1980 to 1989, 51 patients were treated at Oulu University Central Hospital for fulminant acute pancreatitis. Five were in a moribund state on admission and died shortly afterwards, 6 were treated conservatively and survived, and 40 were operated on, 17 by primary pancreatic resection and 23 by debridement of the peripancreatic area. Mortality rates were 53 per ce...

Approximately 20% of patients with acute pancreatitis develop pancreatic necrosis with significant mortality. Surgical debridement is the traditional management of necrotizing pancreatitis, but it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Endoscopic necrosectomy using repeats session of debridement and stent insertion has been more frequently used within the last decade and half. ...

A 61-year-old male patient with pyogenic spondylodiscitis and epidural and psoas abscesses underwent posterior decompression, debridement, and instrumented fusion, followed by anterior debridement and reconstruction. Sudden onset flank pain was diagnosed 7 weeks postoperatively and was determined to be a pseudoaneurysm located at the aorta inferior to the renal artery and superior to the aortic...

We proposed a multipronged approach to the management of Freiberg disease. A combined dorsal closing wedge with shortening of the metatarsal and joint debridement and microfracture for treating the Freiberg infarction was done. The hypothesis is that dorsal closing wedge and shortening alone cannot help cartilage regeneration. Addition of micro-fracture aids in cartilage regeneration and debrid...

Mucormycosis is a rare but serious infection that can be seen in immunocompetent individuals who experience traumatic injury. The authors report a case in a 28 year-old man who sustained a mangling hand injury in a corn augur accident. After initial aggressive debridement ongoing tissue necrosis was seen, and in subsequent biopsies invasive mucormycosis was diagnosed. The patient was successful...
