BACKGROUND Progress in developing effective surgical techniques, such as scapular allograft reconstruction, enhance shoulder stability and extremity function, in patients following scapular tumor resection. METHODS Case details from seven patients who underwent scapular allograft reconstruction following scapular tumor resection were reviewed. A wide marginal resection (partial scapulectomy) ...

BACKGROUND The conventional measuring method for glenoid version is greatly influenced by the scapular body shape that varies widely between patients. We postulated that the glenoid vault version could be more useful than the conventional glenoid version in clinical cases. OBJECTIVES The purposes of this study were to compare the values of glenoid version measured with the conventional method...

The purpose of this study was to compare differences in wear performance of conforming and nonconforming glenoid designs, using clinical, radiographic, and retrieved polyethylene glenoid component outcome Sixty-three glenoids met the study criteria, and each glenoid was assigned to the conforming group (if the radii of curvature of the humeral and glenoid components were identical) or the nonco...

background:   various drugs are administered intra-articularly to provide postoperative analgesia after arthroscopic knee surgery. the purpose of this study was to assess the analgesic effects of intra-articular injection of a dexmedetomidine   following knee arthroscopy.     methods:   forty six patients schadualed for arthroscopic knee surgery under general anaesthesia, were randomly devided ...

background: arthroscopic intervention is very common for conducting orthopedic surgeries. after a knee arthroscopic surgery, different drugs are used through intra-articular administration to induce analgesia. the aim of this study was to evaluate analgesic effects of bupivacaine (marcaine), bupivacaine plus midazolam, and bupivacaine plus fentanyl in reducing pain after knee arthroscopic surge...

condylar dislocation is not an uncommon condition and occurs when the condyles are displaced anterior to the articular eminence and are unable to reduce back into the glenoid fossa. long-standing dislocations are difficult to treat with the conservative methods and usually need surgical intervention. in this paper, a long-standing dislocation treated by bilateral extra-oral ramus osteotomy is d...

A new arthroscopic approach for traumatic instability has been developed with which avulsed capsulolabral tissue can be effectively attached to the glenoid articular rim with sutures, providing anatomic reattachment and effective deepening of the glenoid concavity similar to that achieved by open repair. This technique does not depend on fixation devices, trans-scapular drilling, or implantatio...

Aim: To analyse glenoid fossa position in Class I, II (div 1 and 2) malocclusions and to analyse variation in the shape of the glenoid fossa in different mandibular configurations. Materials and Methods: The cephalometric study was carried on lateral films of 45 subjects aged 12 18 years. They were divided into three groups based on the ANB angle (and anterior occlusal relation) and also based ...

Introduction: Glenoid version, glenoid surface orientation in the axial plane, has an important role in the passive stabilization of the articular components of the glenohumeral joint. Glenoid shape and version has been associated with glenohumeral instability, arthritis, and rotator cuff tears. Cross-sectional computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging have been demonstrated ...

Background:Chronic synovitis is one of the most important complications in haemophilic patients. Rifampin is anantibiotic which its intra-articular injecion leads to destruction of the synovial membrane of haemophilic patientsmedically.Materials and Methods: Between September 2003 and November 2005, we administered intra-articular rifampinin ١۶ haemophilic joints of ٨ haemophilic patients.Resul...
