OBJECTIVE To compare parascalene approach of brachial plexus block with the classical subclavian perivascular approach as a sole anaesthetic technique in children undergoing closed manipulation for fracture/dislocation around the elbow. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty children (age 6-13 years) undergoing closed manipulation for fracture/dislocation around the elbow were randomly assigned to two g...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical result from the filling ("remplissage") technique in association with Bankart lesion repair for treating recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. METHODS Nine patients (10 shoulders), with a mean follow-up of 13.7 months, presented traumatic recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. All of them had a Bankart lesion, associated with a Hill-Sachs lesion showing...

background: developmental dysplasia of hip (ddh) is a common childhood disorder, and ultrasonography examination is routinely used for screening purposes. in this study, we aimed to evaluate a modified combined static and dynamic   ultrasound technique for the detection of ddh and to compare with the results of static and dynamic ultrasound techniques.       methods: in this cross-sectional stu...

The range of low-cost methods available to the small producer for dispatching small numbers of poultry is limited. None of the commonly used methods is satisfactory as there are doubts that they fully protect the welfare of the bird. There are humane methods available but they involve some initial capital outlay. Probably the most common method is 'neck pulling' (cervical dislocation). If carri...

simultaneous dislocation of both interphalangeal (ip) joints of same finger is a highly uncommon finding. and dislocation of metacarpophalangeal (mcp) joint along with interphalangeal joints of thumb are reported in literatures if, scarcely. here we are reporting the three cases, comprising of double dislocation of ip joints in little finger in two patients and simultaneous mcp and ip joint dis...

Total hip arthroplasty through a single-incision anterior approach is a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) technique that allows component placement without violation of the posterior hip capsule or "hip deltoid." This allows faster recovery without dislocation precautions. The Fitmore® hip stem (Zimmer, Warsaw, Ind) is a bone-conserving stem designed for use in MIS techniques. The technique des...

We describe a technique to manage late spontaneous intraocular lens (IOL) and capsular tension ring (CTR) dislocation within the intact capsular bag. The subluxated IOL and CTR complex can be positioned in a closed chamber and fixed to the pars plana at both 3 and 9 o'clock quadrants with the presented ab externo direct scleral suturation technique which provides an easy, safe and effective sur...

STUDY DESIGN Technique report and case series. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop a new surgical technique for anterior reduction in management of unilateral/bilateral facet dislocations and to report the results of 8 patients with successful outcomes associated with this approach. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The anterior-only surgical procedure, including discectomy, open reduct...
