BACKGROUND This study described a novel, minimally invasive reconstruction technique of lateral tibial plateau fractures using a three-screw jail technique and compared it to a conventional two-screw osteosynthesis technique. The benefit of an additional screw implanted in the proximal tibia from the anterior at an angle of 90° below the conventional two-screw reconstruction after lateral tibia...

introduction iatrogenic patellar fracture is reported as a complication of patella procedures, such as medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee using bone-patellar tendon-bone technique, and resurfacing the patella in total knee arthroplasty. case presentation a 65-year-old lady with right patella fracture was treated with open ...

The labrum is essential for stability, movement, and prevention of arthritis in the hip. In cases of labral damage where repair of a labral tear is not possible, reconstruction can be a useful alternative. Several different autografts have been used, including the iliotibial band (ITB), the ligamentum teres capitis, and the gracilis tendon. Authors have reported both open and arthroscopic techn...

INTRODUCTION Techniques for reconstruction of the dislocated acromioclavicular (AC) joint are numerous. Most, however, do not incorporate reconstruction of the disrupted acromioclavicular ligaments and capsule. Evidence exists supporting the importance of these ligaments particularly in providing horizontal stability to the AC joint. Recently, biomechanical studies have demonstrated improved AC...

this paper presents a new modified technique for ear and eyebrow reconstruction which was used to reconstruct facial injuries caused by burns, excision of malignant tumors, depressed traumatic scars and a low hairline defect around the auricular region.' other facial reconstructions carried out by this procedure were also highly successful and without complications.

PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the immediate effect on knee kinematics by 2 different techniques of posterolateral corner (PLC) reconstruction. METHODS Five intact formalin-preserved cadaveric knees were used in this study. A navigation system was used to measure knee kinematics (posterior translation, varus angulation, and external rotation) after application of a constant force and to...

We present a general L stability result for a generic finite volume method for hyperbolic scalar equations coupled with a large class of reconstruction. We show that the stability is obtained if the reconstruction respects two fundamental properties: the convexity property and the sign inversion property. We also introduce a new MUSCL technique, the multislope MUSCL technique, based on the appr...

The commercial 3-D laser scanners provide high quality reconstructions of different surfaces. However if the reconstructed surfaces are made of diffusing materials and/or exhibit self occluding properties then errors are guaranteed in the output reconstruction. In this paper, we try to rectify this situation by fusing the 3-D reconstructions generated by a 3-D laser scanner and other 3-D recons...
