Aim: To develop a method for closure of the arthrotomy wound and approximation of the medial periosteum at the level of tibial tuberosity after total knee arthroplasty in severe varus deformity. Method: We describe a technique of osteotendinous suturing through the tibial tuberosity for suturing of the medially elevated periosteum. Result: This is an easily reproducible technique which results ...

Following extraperiosteal injections of saline, serum, or whole blood, the synthesis of DNA in the cells of the osteogenic layer of the femora of mice was stimulated to approximately two-thirds of the level obtained by fracture of the femora. Irrespective of the material injected, the proliferative response of the cells in the periosteum was similar. These studies have shown that neither bone f...

A lesion similar to that described by Bankart in recurrent dislocation of the shoulder was seen in seven patients with recurrent dislocation of the peroneal tendons. Detachment of the periosteum had resulted in the formation of a false pouch on the surface of the lower end of the fibula; into this pouch the peroneal tendons could easily dislocate. Reattachment of the periosteum to drill holes i...

Osteosynthesis using minimum material in pediatric mandibular fractures is the key, due to the limited space available in the mandible, especially in the mental foramen and apical region. There is an important role of open reduction and rigid internal fixation in re-establishing facial height, width and projection. During the early years of growth and development, there is a high osteogenic pot...

Fig. 1. Schematic of one stage bone transport procedure (yellow bone, red periosteum). A portion of diaphyseal bone is denuded of periosteum, osteotomized, and transported over an intramedullary nail to the site of the 2.54-cm critical-sized defect, where it is docked to the distal femur. The periosteal sheath is left in situ to surround the new defect site, leading to full infilling of the new...

statement of problem: condylar hyperplasia of the mandible is a self limiting abnormality which can cause facial asymmetry, temporomandibular joint (tmj) dysfunction and esthetic problems. treatment planning is based on the results of isotope scanning, clinical findings and patient age. single photon emission tomography (spect) is considered to be a sensitive method in the calculation of condyl...
