BACKGROUND Trends in rhinoplasty techniques have seen a significant shift from closed to open over the last decade.1,2 The ideal surgical approach for rhinoplasty continues to be debated amongst aesthetic surgeons. Each technique has its merits. Open rhinoplasty is deemed the procedure of choice in all but the simplest rhinoplasties, reserving the traditional closed approach for hump reduction ...

The objective of this study was to prospectively compare intraoperative fluoroscopy time and clinical and radiological results in pediatric femoral shaft fractures treated with titanium elastic nailing (TEN) using a small-incision, blind-hand reduction vs closed reduction. From February 2008 to December 2009, sixty-eight children were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into 2 groups: ...

OBJECTIVES A retrospective approach was used to detail and evaluate a 'dowel' pinning technique in distal radial fractures in miniature and toy breed dogs. METHODS Medical records and radiographs from 2003-2009 of miniature and toy breed dog radial fractures were examined. Sixty cases were divided into two groups: 51 radial fractures repaired with a 'dowel' pinning and external skeletal fixat...

INTRODUCTION Injuries around the elbow are common in pediatric population. Amongst them, most common is fractures of the supracondylar part of humerus, followed by condylar fractures. Fractures of the neck of the radius account for five-ten percent of the total injuries. Various techniques for closed reduction of the fracture have been described in literature. Open reduction and fixation is ind...

This paper is concerned with the order reduction of controllers produced by μ-synthesis controller design paradigm. A new proof has been proposed for the additive perturbation reduction technique with sufficient conditions to guarantee the closed loop structured singular value to remain less than unity. Reduction of unstable controllers is achieved through a new coprime factor reduction techniq...

A technique using a cannulated tap in a percutaneous manner allows for easy reduction of the dislocated humeral head with minimal soft-tissue trauma and presents a useful alternative to repeated attempts at open or closed reduction.
