The stump capping procedure to prevent or treat terminal osseous overgrowth.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Terminal overgrowth in transverse deficiencies and in amputations, particularly of the humerus and tibia necessitate serial trimming procedures or re-amputation. Capping using an autogenous bone graft or a titanium and polyethylene endoprosthetic cap provides a satisfactory way of avoiding these re-amputations and allowing end-bearing.

Osseous overgrowth in congenital amputations of the upper limb: report of 3 cases treated with autologous stump plasty.
Osseous overgrowth is an important problem after traumatic or surgical amputations in children. It is rather exceptional in congenital amputations. We report three cases of congenital amputation of the humerus with osseous overgrowth. They were treated with an autologous stump plasty according to Marquardt's technique.
متن کاملIlizarov external fixator for stump salvage in infected nonunions.
Infected nonunions are potentially difficult complications to treat in the context of complex tibial fractures. Often, such complications necessitate amputation to prevent further sequelae, such as fulminant sepsis and complete loss of the limb. As such, the eradication of infection, the decision regarding when to amputate, and the length of the residual stump are important factors to optimize ...
متن کاملReconstruction method after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Idea to prevent serious complications.
Pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy represents a critical trigger of potentially life-threatening complications and is also associated with markedly prolonged hospitalization. Many arguments have been proposed for the method to anastomosis the pancreatic stump with the gastrointestinal tract, such as invagination vs. duct-to-mucosa, Billroth I (Imanaga) vs. Billroth II (Whipple and...
متن کاملAutologous capping during resection arthroplasty of the hip in patients with cerebral palsy.
In patients with severe quadriplegic cerebral palsy and painful hip dislocation proximal femoral resection arthroplasty can reduce pain, but the risk of heterotopic ossification is significant. We present a surgical technique of autologous capping of the femoral stump in order to reduce this risk, using the resected femoral head as the graft. A retrospective study of 31 patients (43 hips) who h...
متن کاملActivation Strategies for Enhancement the Catalytic Activity of Gold Nanocatalysts
Recent advances in nanoscience have led to the development of numerous methodologiesfor controlled synthesis of mono dispersed nanoparticles and/or nanoclusters via surface stabilization by organic capping ligands. The application of these nanoparticles in catalysis and other fields often requires the removal of organic ligands. It is known that the removal of organic capping agents or or...
