PURPOSE To examine and compare treatment outcomes for slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). METHODS 24 patients with acute or acute-on-chronic SCFE underwent preoperative traction, 13 of them followed by in situ screw fixation (group A), and the remaining 11, manipulation with screw fixation (group B). Their treatment outcomes (according to the Aadalen criteria) and complications were com...

A case of complicated lateral subtalar dislocation is presented and the literature concerning this injury is reviewed. Subtalar joint dislocations are rare and often the result of a high-energy trauma. Complications include avascular necrosis of the talus, infection, posttraumatic osteoarthritis requiring arthrodesis and chronic subtalar instability. Negative prognostic factors include lateral ...

Fifty-seven year old patient with open medial dislocation of the left talus, with suprasyndesmotic fracture of the fibula, due to indirect traumatism. The following were carried out: washing, cleaning the talus and the soft parts, Friedrich, reduction, fixing with Kirschner needles, suture of the deltoid ligament, and osteosynthesis of the fibula. There were neither surface nor deep post-operat...

The aim of this study was to show the clinical and radiographic mid-term results Pembersal femoral osteotomy without open reduction in patients with mild dysplasia hip joint. This case series included 13 Developmental Dysplasia Hip (DDH) (13 hips), who underwent a combination between January 2014 June 2020. comprised 12 females (93%) 1 male (8%), mean age at surgery 24.29.40 months (range: 17-...

Avascular necrosis, diagnosed on the basis of either a specific pathological modification of the articular surfaces of bone or its radiologic appearance in vertebral centra, has been recognized in many Mesozoic marine reptiles as well as in present-day marine mammals. Its presence in the zoological and paleontologic record is usually associated with decompression syndrome, a disease that affect...

The incidence and long-term outcome of undisplaced fatigue fractures of the femoral neck treated conservatively were examined in Finnish military conscripts between 1970 and 1990. From 106 cases identified, 66 patients with 70 fractures were followed for a mean of 18.3 years (11 to 32). The original medical records and radiographs were studied and physical and radiological follow-up data analys...

ABSTRACT Cannulated screw fixation is a widely accepted surgical method for management of fractures of the neck of femur especially in patients with poor premorbid conditions, minimally displaced fractures and those from a younger age group. A five year retrospective study was carried out in 53 consecutive patients between 2006 to 2010 to determine the pattern of injuries, management, outcomes ...

BACKGROUND Poor reduction or neglect of an unstable carpal scaphoid fracture may lead to scaphoid nonunion or avascular necrosis. When pre-operative suggestion of avascular necrosis of the proximal pole is confirmed by intra-operative evaluation, conventional bone graft is not enough and a vascularized bone graft is strongly recommended. METHODS Five patients with nonunion of scaphoid fractur...

Osteonecrosis or avascular necrosis (AVN) is a pathologic process that results from a critical decrease of blood supply to the bone and elevated intraosseous pressure [1]. While the pathogenic process is not clear, it is believed that osteonecrosis is the final common pathway of traumatic and non-traumatic insults and that it impairs blood circulation to the femoral head. Subsequently, interrup...

In clinical practice, the number of Avascular Necrosis cases is increasing due to lifestyle changes, heavy workload, degenerative and improper dietary habits. It a progressive condition hip joint lack blood supply bone. Modern practice shows significantly lower prognosis as per studies. With help cardinal features AVN (Avascular Necrosis), it may correlate with Ashthi Majjagata Vikarain Ayurved...
