The Modified Concorde Position with an Intraoperative Skew Head Rotation: Technical Note
The Concorde position was developed to approach pineal and cerebellar lesions with a midline suboccipital craniotomy. The neutral head position is needed to divide the occipital muscles symmetrically. The patient's head is tilted to the right and the face is turned to the right for the microscopic procedure to keep the midline of the patient's head axis straight in the surgical field for comfor...
متن کاملMeasurement of the immobilisation efficacy of a head fixation system
Background: In order to assign appropriate planning target volume (PTV) margins, each centre should measure the patient positioning deviations for their set-up techniques. At the Royal Marsden Hospital, UK, a conformal shell (cast) system is used when a stereotactic frame is not suitable. In this paper, we report on a series of measurements with the aim of obtaining the systematic and random ...
متن کاملTension band wire for acetabular fracture fixation: a technical note.
Maintaining reduction of an acetabular fracture during internal fixation is difficult. A variety of clamps can be used to facilitate reduction, but they are cumbersome and may damage the sciatic nerve. We developed a simple and cost-effective technique for provisional reduction and fixation of acetabular fractures using 2 screws and a tension band wire.
متن کاملCT Scanning in Minor Head Injury
Head injury is one of the most prevalent events accounting for about one million of emergency visits in US and UK annually. It occurs in over the 50% of traumatic patients and is the leading cause of death and disabilities in children and younger adults all over the world (Holmes, et al., 2006; Kraus & Nourjah, 1998; Langlois, et al., 2006). Annually, traumatic brain injuries cause 435000 emerg...
متن کاملThe use of head CT scanning in mild head injury.
OBJECTIVE To determine the number of brain CT scans carried out in patients with mild head injury (MHI) during 13 months of trauma registry, and to investigate means of reducing the rate of unnecessary scans. METHODS During a trauma registry (from August 23, 1999 to September 21, 2000) in 6 general Hospitals (Imam Hussein, Moayer, Sina, Hafteteer, Imam Khomeini and Shariatti) in Tehran, Iran,...
