background: pelvic ring injuries and sacroiliac dislocations have significant impacts on patient’s quality of life. several techniques have been described for posterior pelvic fixation. the current study has been designed to evaluate the spinopelvic method of fixation for sacroiliac fractures and fracture-dislocations.   methods: between january 2006 and december 2014, 14 patients with sacroili...

12 Abstract 13 Introduction Chronic dislocation of temporomandibular 14 joint is usually treated with conservative approaches, but 15 in some cases, surgery is needed to avoid recurrencies. The 16 present paper described a case report of a bilateral 17 intervention for articular tubercle height augmentation by 18 means of calvaria bone grafts. 19 Materials and Methods A 32-year-old woman attend...

UNLABELLED Dislocation remains the leading early complication of total hip arthroplasty; surgical approach and implant positioning have been recognized as factors influencing total hip arthroplasty stability. We describe a total hip arthroplasty technique done through a single, tissue sparing anterior approach that allows implantation of the femoral and acetabular components without detaching o...

OBJECTIVES To describe the surgical treatment and patient outcomes of chronic elbow dislocations. DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING Two tertiary referral centers. PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS All patients with surgically treated chronic elbow dislocation with no associated articular fracture from January 2009 to January 2015. INTERVENTION Review of patient demographics, injury chronicity, s...

The goal of this study was to evaluate the midterm radiologic, clinical, and functional results of the early reconstruction of the severe acromioclavicular joint dislocation using the flipptack fixation button technique. Between December 2006 and December 2009, one hundred thirty-five consecutive patients with acromioclavicular joint separations were admitted to the authors' institution. Fifty ...

carpal fracture-dislocation is regarded as an unusual orthopedic injury and, thus, orthopedic surgeons are less experienced in dealing with and treating these fractures and dislocations. we report a 20-year-old worker man suffering from an unusual carpal fracture-dislocation. there was trans-scaphoid fracture and lunate dislocation with other carpal proximal bones toward volar of the wrist. two...

Technical errors are the commonest cause of dislocation of hip prostheses (Hamblen 1984). An excessively anteverted or retroverted acetabular component is often responsible. The deleterious effects of such malposition have been documented by Ackland, Bourne and Uhthoff (1986), Fackler and Poss (1980) and Lewinnek et ab (1978). These workers were abbe to measure anteversion or retroversion by ut...

Prediction of the mechanical behavior of thin foils (~25 µm) requires special characterization techniques. The current work is focused on the mechanical and microstructural characterization of 25 µm HAVAR alloy foils following annealing, cold rolling, and subsequent heat treatments, using small punch testing (SPT), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission-scanning electron microscopy (TEM). Th...

The velocity of selectively-introduced edge dislocations in 99.999 percent pure copper crystals has been measured as a function of stress at temperatures from 66°K to 373°K by means of a torsion technique. The range of resolved shear stress was 0 to 15 megadynes/cm2 for seven temperatures (66°K, 74°K, 83°K, 123°K, 173°K, 296 °K, 373°K). Dislocation mobility is characterized by two distinct feat...
