Background: Trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture-dislocation and perilunate dislocations are among uncommon injuries, most commonly seen in young patients due to high energy trauma. The treatment can be achieved either surgically by open reduc tion and internal fixation or closed reduction and casting.   Methods: To compare surgical versus non-operative results of treatment of trans-scaphoid pe...

conclusions surgical and post-surgical findings showed that this segment was not related to the patient’s femur. the foreign segment may have belonged to the other victim of this trauma. introduction femoral shaft fracture is one of the typical bone fractures due to high energy trauma and may occur as an open fracture. some foreign materials may enter the fracture site such as sand, cloth parti...

BACKGROUND Most nasal bone fractures are corrected using non-invasive methods. Often, patients are dissatisfied with surgical outcomes following such closed approach. In this study, we compare surgical outcomes following blind closed reduction to that of ultrasound-guided reduction. METHODS A single-institutional prospective study was performed for all nasal fracture patients (n=28) presentin...

a dog was presented with history of progressive generalized subcutaneous emphysema and exercise intolerance secondary to dog fight. radiographic evaluation confirmed extensive subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum and pneumoretroperitoneum. surgical exploration revealed cricoid cartilage longitudinal fracture and cricotracheal detachment. the fractured cartilage was sutured and the cricoid ...

Bariatric surgery has been shown to impair bone health. This study aimed to investigate the fracture risk in patients after bariatric surgery versus propensity score-matched controls. The authors used the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan and identified 2064 patients who underwent bariatric surgery during 2001 to 2009. These patients were matched to 5027 obese patients who d...

Methods. A sample of 49 patients operated on due to traumatic thoracolumbar fracture was analyzed in a single-institution retrospective survey during one-year period. Investigated features were: age and gender, mechanism of injury, level of injury, fracture type, and initial neurological deficit. Based on physical examinations and imaging studies, fracture stability is evaluated to decide opera...

This retrospective study is performed on 423 cases of skull farcture who refered to "Loghman-e­Hakim" hospital during a 493 days period (October 1994-March 1995): The fracture types were linear in 85% Depressed in 7%, Basilar in 8% of cases. 71.2% of all cases were male and 28.8% were femal. 72.6% of fracture occured in pediatric age group "Less than 15 years old" and 27.4% in adult group. The ...

A 34-year-old man had a traumatic thoracic spinal cord injury, with vertebral fracture and a right acetabulum fracture. Dorsal spinal fusion of T6 through T9 was performed on admission. The initial American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale (C) showed incomplete motor T10 lesion. Exoskeletal locomotion training with hybrid assistive limb started 77 days post trauma after radiolo...
