The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the vibratory characteristics of obturator prostheses are affected by bulb design, i.e.: the hollow or buccal flange type, and different lateral and medial bulb heights. Buccal flange and hollow bulb obturator prostheses were fabricated with two different lateral bulb wall heights and two different medial bulb wall heights. Ultimately, eig...

We dissected 20 cadaver hips in order to investigate the anatomy and excursion of the trochanteric muscles in relation to the posterior approach for total hip replacement. String models of each muscle were created and their excursion measured while the femur was moved between its anatomical position and the dislocated position. The position of the hip was determined by computer navigation. In c...

Femoral nerve lesions are uncommon, but very distressing at the functional level because of the absence of knee locking mechanism by the quadriceps muscle. We propose here a new neurotization procedure of obturator nerve motor branches to the motor portion of the femoral nerve in the thigh. This study was conducted on five cadavers. The motor portion of the femoral nerve and the motor branches ...

Background: Maxillary resection causes different types of damages in the maxillofacial area, which are treated by surgical and prosthetic restorative methods. Aim: The described clinical case follows up initial stages treatment, as well possible modification obturator into temporary a patient with maxillary resection. Materials methods: treatment 55-years-old female operation upper jaw cancer i...

Resection of a malignant lesion involving the maxilla produces severe oromaxillary defect that can seriously jeopardize the normal phonetics of the patient. These defects are effectively managed by well-designed and fabricated obturator. This paper discusses the oromaxillary prosthetic rehabilitation of a maxillectomy patient using a magnet retained two-piece hollow bulb definitive obturator.

Obturator hernia is a rare type of pelvic hernia which generally occurs in elderly patients with accompanying diseases. Because it is difficult to diagnose before surgery, the morbidity and mortality rates for obturator hernia are high. The most common symptom is strangulation combined with mechanical intestinal obstruction.

INTRODUCTION Buttock pain is a relatively common complaint among adolescent athletes and can have a very broad differential diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION The authors present a previously unreported case of acute obturator internus and obturator externus strain in an adolescent male American football player. The diagnosis was made by MRI. The patient was treated with relative rest, physical the...

BACKGROUND It is often challenging to find the causes for postoperative pain syndromes after total hip replacement, since they can be very allotropic. One possible cause is the muscular impingement syndrome. The most commonly known impingement syndrome is the psoas impingement. Another recently described impingement syndrome is the obturator externus muscle impingement. The aim of this study is...
