Anterior cruciate ligament injuries in skeletally immature patients usually involve tibial bony avulsion fractures rather than the midsubstance tears usually observed in adults. Several surgical techniques have been reported to provide stable fixation and avoid physeal injury in this pediatric population. The authors propose a novel, reproducible surgical technique using bioabsorbable anchors t...

A bioabsorbable sheet was sutured to cover the right-sided mediastinal pleurectomy defect, whereas not in a control. There was a significant difference in mediastinal adhesions with a lung between the groups. Our findings suggested that the sheet may prevent postoperative adhesions between the mediastinum and a lung.

The creation of small-diameter tissue-engineered vascular grafts using biodegradable materials has the potential to change quality cardiovascular surgery in future. implantation these arterial yet reach clinical application. One reasons for this is thrombus occlusion graft acute phase. In paper, we first describe causes accelerated formation and discuss drugs that are thought inhibit formation....
