The ultrasonic findings in 38 children with osteomyelitis of the limb bones were analysed in four time-related groups based on the interval between the onset of symptoms and the ultrasonic examination. Deep soft-tissue swelling was the earliest sign of acute osteomyelitis; in the next stage there was periosteal elevation and a thin layer of subperiosteal fluid, and in some cases this progressed...

Juxta-articular, subperiosteal osteoid osteomas arising around the ankle are unusual. Tumors arising on the neck of the talus commonly produce symptoms mimicking monoarticular arthritis. Patients are usually treated for arthritis or ankle sprain, which often leads to a delay in definitive diagnosis. Here we present a case of osteoid osteoma of neck of talus which was presented as ankle pain. It...

Newborn babies of African origin occasionally undergo massive haemorrhage into the soft tissues of the scalp. The resulting haematoma differs from the more usual variety of cephalhaematoma in being anatomically subaponeurotic, not subperiosteal. Not being confined by periosteal attachments, the haematoma is not limited to the area overlying a single skull bone, but extends through the soft areo...

We are currently developing a small perforated titanium subperiosteal implant specifically for orthodontic therapy, which can be placed anywhere on the bone surface. In the present study, we coated this implant with hydroxyapatite (HA) or alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-TCP) in an attempt to shorten the initial stabilization period relative to the few months that is usually required. The coat...

Bourne (1944), describing the healing mechanism in tilt femoral defects, slated that initially they are filled by osteoid proliferation from the periosteum. Ma/.arow (I960) found that in the dog mandible the defect is tilled in from its cut surface and by bone trabeculae stemming chiefly from the periosteum. Mclchcr and Irving (1962) studied the healing mechanism in circumscribed defects in rat...

A 12-year-old girl presented with a swollen right eye with three days of pain and a diffused swollen frontal region and head lasting for one day. On the computed tomography with contrast, diffused collection was detected in the subgaleal regions and subperiosteal of the right orbita. It was observed that she had bilateral maxillary, ethmoidal, and frontal sinusitis and an infected bilateral mid...

Facial rejuvenation has largely focused on surgical procedures of the lower and upper one thirds of the face. Over the past 15 years, research focus on the midface has given aesthetic facial surgeons more tools to improve the signs of aging. The term midface has been used with various definitions, but includes the lower eyelid subunit beginning at the inferior border of the tarsal plate and che...
