Background and purpose - Criticism of the lateral approach (LA) for hip arthroplasty is mainly based on the risk of poor patient-reported outcomes compared to the posterior approach (PA). However, there have been no controlled studies comparing patient-reported outcomes between them. In this randomized controlled trial, we tested the hypothesis that patient-reported outcomes are better in patie...

OBJECTIVES To describe a rare developmental disorder of the femoral capital epiphysis in infants and children that is often misdiagnosed and to suggest an evaluation protocol to differentiate it from other hip problems. DESIGN Case series. SETTING Tertiary care center. SUBJECTS Five consecutive patients referred for evaluation of acute onset of limping between January 1990 and December 19...

A limp is a common reason for a child to present to the orthopaedist. Because of the long list of potential diagnoses, some of which demand urgent treatment, an organized approach to evaluation is required. With an understanding of normal and abnormal gait, a directed history and physical examination, and the development of a differential diagnosis based on the type of limp, the patient's age, ...

Limp is described as any deviation from a normal gait pattern for the child's age. Limping takes many forms and is one of the most enigmatic complaints in pediatric medicine. It is never normal, and both benign and life-threatening illnesses can present with limp. The provisional diagnosis can be a challenge to establish even after history, physical, and laboratory examinations.

AIMS/BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the morbidity associated with harvesting autogenous fascia lata for brow suspension ptosis surgery. METHODS A retrospective study by postal questionnaire of 24 consecutive patients. RESULTS Early postoperative problems with pain on walking (67%), limping (38%), and wound pain (57%) occurred mostly for less than 1 week. The final cosmetic a...

Feline calicivirus (FCV) is a common viral pathogen found in domestic cats. FCV highly contagious and demonstrates high genetic variability. Upper respiratory tract disease, oral ulcerations, salivation, gingivitis–stomatitis have been regarded as typical clinical signs of infection. Ulcerative dermatitis, abortion, severe pneumonia, enteritis, chronic stomatitis, virulent systemic disease repo...
