BACKGROUND Surgeons can control not only the angle but also the depth of suture anchor placement during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, although the tendency may be to place suture anchors on the deep side to avoid damage from prominent anchor eyelets. However, little information is available regarding possible effects of suture anchor depth on construct failure mechanisms. HYPOTHESIS Ancho...

Background: Wound dehiscence after laparotomy remains a serious complication. Postoperative complete wound dehiscence, being an unfortunate and also a very serious complication, is associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate despite the most sophisticated intensive care these patients receive today. Aims: The present study was undertaken to assess the proportion of burst abdomen in post...

The present case shows a case of progression of osteolysis of the greater trochanter caused by a foreign body granuloma associated with the number 5 Ethibond suture in cementless THA with the direct lateral approach that was completely healed by removal of the Ethibond suture. A 55-year-old Japanese woman with secondary osteoarthritis caused by acetabular dysplasia underwent left cementless THA...

purpose: mesh technique is the standard for inguinal hernia repair because of less recurrence,   but it is inferior or equal to sutured technique in case of other post-operative complications   such as chronic pain. this clinical trial set out to compare these two techniques.   materials and methods: a total number of 322 cases of unilateral inguinal hernia in participants   older than 18 years...

results the hemostasis time for the ferric chloride concentration group was significantly less than for the control group (p < 0.001). materials and methods in this animal model study, 60 male wistar rats were used. an incision, 2 cm long and 0.5 cm deep was made on rat skin and the hemostasis time was recorded using ferric chloride at different concentrations (5%, 10%, 15%, 25%, and 50%) and t...

laparoscopic and open ovariohysterectomy were compared for the following parameters: surgical time, incision length, suture number, saturation of oxyhemoglobin (spo2), heart rate, complications,cbc findings, melbourne pain scale (mps) and gross pathology. mps pain scores were evaluated using mann-whitney u test. other parameters were evaluated using studen&apos;s t test. there were no significa...

A randomized, prospective study was performed to test the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the cost of stapling and suturing for skin closure of selected linear lacerations. Appropriate wounds were randomly assigned to be closed by staples or sutures. Wound lengths, skin closure times, and the number of staples or the number and types of sutures used were recorded. Costs for ...

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of two types haemostatic sutures to secure bleeding in thinned out caesarean section scars. Study Design: Comparative Interventional Study. Setting: CMH Okara, Pakistan. Period: September 2019 2021. Material &amp; Methods: Patients were divided four categories. Category I was previous one scar patients while category II scars patients. Similarly, categori...

introduction: this study was carried out to compare the effect of different suture removal time on surgical wound healing. materials and methods: twenty-one male albino rabbits were used. under general and local anesthesia a moucoperiosteal rectangular flap was raised in each animal and then repositioned and sutured. the animals were randomly divided into three experimental groups of seven anim...
