TECHNICAL TRICKS A Modified Judet Approach to the Scapula
نویسنده
چکیده
Operative treatment of scapula fractures is uncommon, but is indicated for significantly displaced fractures or intra-articular fractures. This modified Judet approach for exposure of scapula fractures combines several important goals: 1) exposure of all bony elements of the scapula which have adequate bone stock for internal fixation; 2) minimal trauma to the rotator cuff musculature; and 3) protection of the major neurologic structures (suprascapular nerve superiorly and axillary nerve laterally). The main advantage of the exposure is limiting muscular dissection, which can potentially improve rehabilitation and limit morbidity of the operation.

Prognostic Factors Affecting the Results of Modified Thompson Quadricepsplasty for the Treatment of Extension Contracture of the Knee
Background: Knee extension contracture is a disabling complication after fractures around the knee. In this study we aimed to study factors influencing the outcomes of quadricepsplasty for the treatment of traumatic knee extension contracture. We hypothesized that there is no factor influencing the final range of knee motion.Methods: In this retrospective study, we included 64 patients who unde...
متن کاملJudet quadricepsplasty for extension contracture of the knee.
Extension contracture of the knee is a well known complication of severe femoral fractures, especially in the supracondylar region. Traditional management by the Thompson quadricepsplasty may result in a variable return of knee flexion and the possibility of significant extension lag. The Judet technique of quadricepsplasty offers the advantages of a controlled, sequential release of the intrin...

متن کاملThe modified Stoppa approach for acetabular fracture.
Judet et al and Letournel and Judet laid the groundwork for the current understanding and management of acetabular fractures. They developed a classification system and novel surgical approaches that still serve as the standard of care. Modifications of these approaches (eg, ilioinguinal, Kocher-Langenbeck) have been developed to improve surgical outcomes. The Stoppa approach is used in the rep...
