Background: Surgical crown lengthening is needed for teeth with subgingival caries, fractured teeth, insufficient crown length, and deep subgingival margin of failed restorations. Since there is no agreement on the effects of crown lengthening surgery on gingival parameters, the purpose of this study was to evaluate periodontal parameters in patients who needed crown lengthening surgery. Method...

conclusions callus distraction is an effective and reliable method for lengthening short phalangeal, metacarpal, and metatarsal bones. it also preserves periosteal tissue. our distractor is reliable, cheap, lightweight, user friendly, and highly effective for callotasis. background this study was performed to evaluate the results of finger lengthening following traumatic amputation or congenita...

In addition to neurologic injuries such as peripheral nerve palsy, axillary vessel injury should be recognized as a possible complication of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Limb lengthening associated with Grammont-type reverse total shoulder arthroplasty places tension across the brachial plexus and axillary vessels and may contribute to observed injuries. The Grammont-type reverse total ...

BACKGROUND Neurological injuries are a rare but devastating complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to retrospectively determine the frequency of nerve palsy after THA without subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy in patients with a completely dislocated hip joint without pseudo-articulation between the femoral head and iliac bone. METHODS Between...

this article presents a new technique for weakening the superior oblique muscle by lengthening it's tendon. lengthening is accomplished by a nasal superior oblique tenotomy, and by inserting a segment of silicone band 240 between the cut ends of the tendon. this technique is useful for the treatment of brown syndrome and cases with superior oblique overaction.
