Coronal realignment and reduction techniques and complication avoidance.
Scoliosis is a broad term encompassing multiple pathologies with different etiologies. Patients may range from the infant with congenital deformity, to the adolescent with idiopathic scoliosis, to the elderly patient with severe degenerative scoliosis. Treatment must be tailored to individual circumstances and the pathoanatomy of each deformity. Various coronal reduction techniques have been de...

متن کاملHemispherectomy: Indications, Surgical Techniques, Complications, and Outcome
Surgical removal of a pathological, almost non-functional cerebral hemisphere is a relatively old concept in neurosurgery [1]. The evolution of hemispheric surgery from resection to disconnection techniques, along with a number of technological advances (light microscope, microneurosurgical tools, magnetic resonance imaging, neuro-navigation) resulted into significantly faster and less invasive...
متن کاملOperative treatment of intraarticular calcaneal fractures: Anatomical and functional outcome of three different operative techniques.
INTRODUCTION Management of the intraarticular calcaneal fracture is a challenge. The optimal method of treatment remains controversial. This study evaluates the anatomical and functional postoperative outcomes of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures that have been treated using three different techniques of ORIF. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 2004 and 2011 we treated 143 patients with ...
