Sternal foramina and variant xiphoid morphology in a Kenyan population.
Sternal foramina may pose a great hazard during sternal puncture, due to inadvertent cardiac or great vessel injury. They can also be misinterpreted as osteolytic lesions in cross-sectional imaging of the sternum. On the other hand, variant xiphoid morphology such as bifid, duplicated, or trifurcated may be mistaken for fractures during imaging. The distribution of these anomalies differs betwe...
متن کاملTibiotalocalcaneal Arthrodesis with Intramedullary Fixation
In this paper is described a technique for performing tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis using a new type of intramedullary fixation, the ankle fusion nail. This paper also contains a retrospective review of 17 patients with a mean age of 46 years who underwent tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis with intramedullary fixation for diagnoses of osteoarthrosis (12 patients), rheumatoid arthritis (4 patients...
متن کاملTreatment Outcome of Intramedullary Fixation with a Locked Rigid Nail in Humeral Shaft Fractures
Background: The aim of this study was to determine the treatment outcome of humeral shaft fractures with a locked rigid intramedullary nail in patients indicated for surgical treatment. Methods: In this descriptive-cross sectional study, all patients were followed up for one, six, and 18 months post operatively. The Short Form Questionnaire (SF-36) and Constant Shoulder Score were applied. Re...
متن کاملIntramedullary Fixation Techniques
It occurred to me, therefore, to use a long internal peg or strut, such as would render unnecessary any further f ixation and would afford absolute rigidity. I have used pegs of various shapes, cylindrical, cross-sectional, and solid rods; and I am inclined to think that the last named are the best, because they give maximum strength and there is an avoidance of hollows and crevices which form ...
متن کاملTibial rotational osteotomy with intramedullary nail fixation
There are several theoretic advantages of using intramedullary rod fixation for tibial osteotomy fixation. We performed a retrospective review of patients who were treated with a mid-diaphyseal osteotomy of the tibia fixed with an intramedullary rod for isolated, symptomatic tibial torsion. Forty patients (59 tibias) were included in the study and were followed for a minimum of 12 months or unt...
