Introduction. The mandibular condyle is the most common site of mandibular fracture. Surgical treatment of condylar fractures by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) demands direct visualization of the fracture. This project aimed to investigate the anatomic relationship of the tragus to the facial nerve and condylar process. Materials and Methods. Twelve fresh hemicadavers heads were us...

To evaluate a new technique of Dynamic hip screw (DHS) fixation without using traction table. From july 2006 to july 2012, 328 patients undergoing DHS fixation using manual traction technique were evaluated in terms of Tip apex distance (TAD), -quality of fracture reduction, operation time, preoperative preparation time. In 97% cases good to moderate reduction could be achieved. The mean TAD wa...

Purpose; Delayed presentation of lateral condylar fractures of the humerus is relatively common in the developing regions of the world. These fractures are difficult to manage because of the displacement and fibrosis around the condylar fragment secondary to the delay. There is a paucity of literature concerning the management of these fractures. An oft repeated finding is the requirement of ex...

The authors investigated the use of an anti-rotation screw with the dynamic hip screw (DHS) during internal fixation of Garden I and II femoral neck fractures. Sixty-five patients with Garden I and II femoral neck fractures (mean age, 70 years) were treated with internal fixation at the authors' institution. In 31 patients, a 2-hole DHS was used alone (group 1), and in 34 patients, the DHS was ...

PURPOSE Because condylar positioning after sagittal split ramus osteotomy of the mandible has been known to affect postoperative skeletal stability, accurate positional assessment of the temporomandibular joint after orthognathic surgery is vital to maximize stability of the surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate condylar changes after single-jaw and double-jaw surgeries in mandibul...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to better understand how surgical repositioning and stabilization of anteriorly displaced articular discs using the Mitek mini-anchor technique affects condylar growth in growing patients with adolescent internal condylar resorption (AICR). METHODS Twenty-two adolescent patients diagnosed with AICR and anterior temporomandibular disc displacement were comp...

INTRODUCTION The total hip replacement is a common surgical procedure in orthopaedics. However, the acetabular cup loosening is one of the major failure modes of cementless acetabular cup. Many researches point out that an unstable cup would induce a large micromotion under dynamic loading. This large micromotion would reduce the bone ongrowth on the cementless cup surface and prohibit the osse...

OBJECTIVES The treatment of condylar fractures has long been controversial. In this paper, we established a database for accurate measurement, storage, management and analysis of patients' data, in order to help determine the best treatment plan. METHODS First of all, the diagnosis and treatment database was established based on XNAT, including 339 cases of condylar fractures and their relate...
