While calcified cephalohematoma is eminently correctable, a clear description of indications for surgery and surgical techniques are currently lacking in the literature. In this paper we propose a simple classification and an algorithm for the management of cephalohematomas. Three patients were treated for large calcified parietal cephalohematomas. Craniectomy and cranioplasty were performed wi...

ABSTRACT: Bone trauma triggers an acute inflammatory response, which can alter the serum concentration of acute-phase proteins (PFA). We aimed to evaluate effectiveness PFA measurement as a laboratory biomarker for inflammation related bone regeneration. A partial ostectomy right radius was performed on 22 young male rabbits. The complete blood count, albumin, ceruloplasmin, haptoglobin, C-reac...

Distraction bone-block arthrodesis has been advocated for the treatment of the late sequelae of fracture of the os calcis. Between 1997 and 2003 we studied a consecutive series of 17 patients who had in situ arthrodesis for subtalar arthritis after fracture of the os calcis with marked loss of talocalcaneal height. None had undergone any previous attempts at reconstruction. We assessed the rang...
