A rare case of Neurogenic heterotrophic ossification in Hip region presented to our institute with gross clinical features involving global restriction movement the hip joint. The patient had sustained a head injury 9 months back due road traffic accident. Initial radiographs revealed bony mass left from Anterior superior iliac spine proximal shaft femur. Later CT scan various facets condition,...

Gluteal artery aneurysms are uncommon among all aneurysms and are usually a result of trauma. Streptococcus viridans bacteremia has been described in rare cases of extracranial mycotic aneurysms. Despite a variable clinical presentation, mycotic aneurysms of the superior gluteal artery could be the cause in patients with unexplained sciatica pain. Here we report a very rare case of spontaneous ...

background lesions in perineal area are common. the usual treatment is coverage by skin graft and flaps which may be local, pedicled or free types. in this paper v-y flaps were used to cover the defects. methods v-y flaps were used in the gluteal area in 15 patients. lesions were due to different causes. results of 15 patients, 11 were males and 4 were females. their ages ranged from 3 weeks to...

BACKGROUND The anterior approach to the hip joint is widely used in pediatric and adult orthopaedic surgery, including hip arthroplasty. Atrophy of the tensor fasciae latae muscle has been observed in some cases, despite the use of this internervous approach. We evaluated the nerve supply to the tensor fasciae latae and its potential risk for injury during the anterior approach to the hip joint...

BACKGROUND Discontinuation of antipsychotic treatment for schizophrenia can interrupt improvement and exacerbate the illness. Reasons for discontinuing treatment are multifactorial and include adherence, efficacy and tolerability issues. Poor adherence may be addressed through non-pharmacological approaches as well as through pharmacological ones, ie ensured delivery of medication, such as that...

BACKGROUND To conduct radiologic anatomical study on the relation between S1 sacroiliac screws' entry points and the route of the pelvic outer superior gluteal artery branches with the aim to provide the anatomical basis and technical reference for the avoidance of damage to the superior gluteal artery during the horizontal sacroiliac screw placement. METHODS Superior gluteal artery CTA (CT a...

Adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) and pseudoaneurysm formation are rare but known complications following metal-on-metal hip total hip arthroplasty (THA). We report the first known case in the English literature of a concurrent unilateral ALTR and pseudoaneurysm of the superior gluteal artery in the same patient. Following minimal rise in serum metal ions, an ultrasound of the right hip demo...

Throughout time, body contouring has been part of the feminine standard par excellence, with the breast and buttocks being the most relevant and important areas. Today, there is a constant evolution in surgical procedures that seek to improve the areas of sparse volume and harmonize areas that exhibit excess tissue. A considerable number of alternatives for improving gluteal contour have been p...

In humans, adipose tissue is distributed in subcutaneous abdominal and subcutaneous gluteal depots that comprise a variety of functional differences. Whereas energy storage in gluteal adipose tissue has been shown to mediate a protective effect, an increase of abdominal adipose tissue is associated with metabolic disorders. However, the molecular basis of depot-specific characteristics is not c...

Massive weight loss (MWL) patients have unique and severe gluteal deformities that demand alternative body contouring solutions because they are rarely candidates for gluteal implants. Techniques for autologous gluteal augmentation (AGA) with circumferential body lift (CBL) are offered as a solution to this problem. Experience with these techniques will allow surgeons to extend AGA to other aes...
