Osseous Metaplasia Mimicking Long Bone in Intramuscular Vascular Malformation
We describe a case of intramuscular vascular malformation with extensive ossification within the posterior compartment muscles of leg which grossly mimicked long bone leading to equinus deformity of foot. Phleboliths and calcifications are characteristic of vascular malformations, while massive ossification is rare. To our knowledge, no extensive ossified vascular malformation within the leg mu...
متن کاملThe management of war wounds involving bone.
Over 200 high-velocity missile injuries treated in a low-technology environment were audited under the aegis of the International Committee of the Red Cross Hospitals in Afghanistan and Northern Kenya. Femoral fractures were treated either by traction or external fixation using a uniaxial frame. The results showed that patients treated by external fixation remained in hospital longer than those...
متن کاملBone Healing and Hormonal Bioassay in Patients with Long-Bone Fractures and Concomitant Head Injury
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to investigate healing of fractures in patients with concomitant head injuries and to measure blood hormone levels to elucidate the mechanism of a possible accelerated osteogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and sixty-two patients were included in this study and divided into 3 cohorts: group A with head injuries only (n = 52); group B with head injur...
متن کاملBone Healing and Hormonal Bioassay in Patients with Long Bone Fractures and Concomitant Spinal Cord Injury
The increased rate of fracture healing and abundant callus formation of long bone fractures in patients with concomitant severe acute traumatic head injury is a well-known orthopedic phenomenon, Few studies, however, have reported these phenomena being induced by acute traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). There is also a well-established clinical relationship between spinal cord injuries and het...
متن کاملTreatment of Bone Defects in War Wounds: Retrospective Study
INTRODUCTION Results of the treatment of open fractures primarily depend on the treatment of connected soft tissue injuries. OBJECTIVE The aim was to present the experience and methods gained during the treatment of diaphyseal bone defects as a consequence of gunshot fracture soft war trauma. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study consisted of 116 patients with the diaphyseal bone defect who were t...
