Intramedullary nailing is treatment of choice for diaphyseal fractures tibia in adults. Infrapatellar medullary usually done tibial but metaphyseal reduction become a challenge due to anterior deformity pull patellar tendon. Suprapatellar becoming popular and route because it semiextended position which helps good fixation. But the major disadvantage this approach specific instrument sets impla...

Extended use of knee sleeves in populations at risk for knee osteoarthritis progression has shown functional and quality of life benefits; however, additional comprehensive kinematic and kinetic analyses are needed to determine possible physical mechanisms of these benefits which may be due to the sleeve's ability to enhance knee proprioception. A novel means of extending these enhancements may...

Aims: Today, due to the failure of non-surgical methods in the treatment of obesity, surgical procedures such as sleeve gastrocetomy are used. Similar to other invasive interventions, sleeve gastrectomy causes an imbalance in hemodynamic parameters. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of early mobilization on hemodynamic parameters in patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy. Mater...

Riser sleeves are an effective tool in the steel foundry industry for minimizing riser size and increasing casting yield. Reliable simulation of the performance of riser sleeves requires accurate temperature dependent thermophysical properties. Unfortunately there is little or no such property data available in the open literature. A limited number of sleeve manufacturers provide advice and pro...

The following surgical technique describes a case of a 51-year-old man with severe juvenile rheumatoid arthritis that required a 2-stage revision of an infected revision total knee implant. The patient had previously been implanted with a revision rotating platform, constrained condylar device which gained excellent fixation through the use of diaphyseal-engaging stems, and a well-ingrown, full...

Tibial tubercle sleeve fracture is a rare injury. In concept, it is similar to the patellar sleeve fracture in a skeletally immature patient. We describe a unique case of simultaneous bilateral tibial tubercle sleeve fractures in a 12-year-old boy. Radiographs and MRI confirmed the injury. The patient underwent open surgical repair of bilateral sleeve fractures with suture anchor fixation. At t...

BACKGROUND Sleeve gastrectomy constitutes an effective surgical procedure for the treatment of morbid obesity in humans and rodents with diet-induced obesity. The aim of the present study was to establish the effects of sleeve gastrectomy on weight loss and cardiovascular parameters in genetically obese (fa/fa) Zucker rats. METHODS Eleven-week-old male obese (fa/fa) (n = 20) Zucker rats were ...

The indication for a sleeve resection is well established: a tumor arising at the origin of a lobar bronchus but not infiltrating as far as to require pneumonectomy. In addition, a sleeve resection may be indicated when N1 nodes infiltrate the bronchus from the outside, as is often the case in the left upper lobe tumors. From a functional point of view, sleeve lobectomy is strictly indicated in...
