Subluxation or dislocation of PCIOL is one of the complications of cataract operation in RP patients. This paper reports the presentation of PCIOL dislocation and subluxation and the management and outcome in 3 eyes of 2 RP patients. Two medical records of patients with RP who developed dislocated or subluxated PCIOL and subsequently underwent explantation of the dropped IOL were evaluated. Two...

Thoracolumbar facets are not as commonly dislocated as are those of the cervical spine. It is, however, crucial to make an early and accurate diagnosis of thoracolumbar facet dislocation since the injury may be unstable and require reduction and internal fixation. This paper presents three major CT patterns of thoracolumbar facet fracture dislocation. The first represents anterior subluxation o...

A technique for stabilising the superior tibiofibular joint using an autogenous biceps graft passed through a tibial tunnel is described. The common peroneal nerve should be decompressed and the lateral inferior genicular artery protected. The technique proved to be safe and effective in two patients who were followed for at least two years.

Ten patients with severe chronic rheumatoid arthritis with atlantoaxial subluxation were examined with conventional radiography and MR imaging of the cervical spine before and at an average of 6 months after posterior occipitocervical fusion. Periodontoid pannus formation was revealed by MR preoperatively in nine patients, all with mobile horizontal atlantoaxial subluxation. Compression of the ...

Abstract Background The goals of cervical internal fixation are to provide immediate stability control an unstable segment and improve bony union. Early methods preferred a posterior approach consisted simple wire cancellous bone graft. Later, anterior, became recent additions surgeon’s armamentarium. Objectives Comparing between anterior in subaxial ligamentous subluxation regarding the applic...

BACKGROUND This is a retrospective review of 25 patients with severe lumbar nerve root compression undergoing multilevel anterior retroperitoneal lumbar interbody fusion and posterior instrumentation for deformity. The objective is to analyze the outcomes and clinical results from anterior interbody fusions performed through a lateral approach and compare these with traditional surgical procedu...

Introduction: The prevalence of Weill-Marchesani syndrome (WMS) is estimated to be 1:100.000 proportion the population. Knowledge clinical and therapy WMS expected improve ability diagnose this disease. In case report, we will present a in tertiary hospital because our findings are rare essential concerning symptomatic treatment visual rehabilitation. Case Presentation: A 7-year-old child prese...

We retrospectively reviewed the plain films and CT scans of 11 unstable atlas fractures from a series of 72 atlas fractures to better characterize these injuries and to determine if the correct diagnosis could have been made. These 11 atlas fractures were unstable because either the anterior bony ring was disrupted (six cases), the posterior longitudinal ligament was torn (one case), or both th...

We report a case of an apparent avulsion fracture of the posteromedial margin of the medial plateau of the tibia. This was associated with a tear of the medial meniscus and rupture ofthe anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This triad has been previously reported, and the plateau fracture was related to the insertion of the semimembranosus tendon. The detailed investigation of our case and some ex...

Atlantoaxial instability frequently causes extrinsic cervical myelopathy via anterior displacement of the posterior arch of the atlas. However, upper cervical myelopathy resulting from atlantodental osteo-arthritis with the hypertrophic dens due to atlantoaxial instability is very rare. We present a case of upper cervical myelopathy secondary to atlantoaxial instability and atlantodental osteoa...
