This study evaluated the effect on movement under load of three different techniques for re-attachment of the tuberosities of the humerus using test sawbones. In the first, the tuberosities were attached both to the shaft and to each other, with one cerclage suture through the anterior hole in the prosthesis. The second technique was identical except for omission of the cerclage suture and in t...

BACKGROUND Severe vision-impairing ocular inflammation is rarely reported following extensive laser. Previous cases have involved retinal photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy resolving over days. This report documents a rare instance of this where encircling retinopexy/cerclage was done as fellow eye retinal detachment prophylaxis in a patient with no overt comorbidities. RESULTS A panuv...

PURPOSE To evaluate the factors affecting the bone union time and the occurrence of nonunion after intramedullary nailing of subtrochanteric femoral fractures in adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data from 31 patients (22 men and 9 women) who had undergone femoral intramedullary nailing at least 1 year post-operatively and analyzed the bone union time, nonunion rates, ...

Purpose. To show the feasibility of emergency late second trimester cerclage with advanced cervical dilatation and bulging of amniotic membranes. Setting. Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Douala General Hospital. Method. This is a retrospective study of case files of patients who underwent emergency late second trimester cerclage with advanced cervical dilatation, some with bulgin...

Background: This report describes a patient counseling approach, conservative and surgical management (cervical cerclage) of a dichorionic-diamniotic twin pregnancy, where delivery of the second twin followed the delivery of the first by 104 days. Case presentation: A 35-year-old Indian lady, with 10 years of primary infertility, conceived twins, following ovulation induction with gonadotropin ...

A diamnionic dichorionic twin pregnant women (due to in vitro fertilization) admitted to emergency department at the 21st week of gestation because of regular contractions. By gynecological examination, we observed 8 cm dilated cervix with 80% effacement. Amniotic membrane was also bulging through the cervix. After evaluation delivery of the presenting fetus occurred quickly. The baby's weight ...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate a series of select subtrochanteric fractures who were treated with PFNA with reduction assisted with pointed clamp and cable cerclage and to determine the effect of this technique on reduction quality, and to provide our recommendations. Methods: Between August 2011 and February 2013, 13 patients with a subtrochanteric femoral fracture (six obl...

The objective: was to investigate the coefficients of acceleration capacity (AC) and deceleration (DC) in women with «short cervix» syndrome.Materials methods. A total 292 pregnant were examined. They divided into several groups according results study cervical length methods prevention premature birth. Group I included normal cervicometry data. In other there a cevix». group II, who underwent ...

The development of cerclage systems for fixation of greater trochanteric osteotomies has progressed from monofilament wires to multifilament cables to cable grip and cable plate systems. Cerclage wires and cables have various clinical indications, including fixation for fractures and for trochanteric osteotomy in hip arthroplasty. To achieve stable fixation and eventual union of the trochanteri...

The patellar bone is involved in repetitive, load bearing motion sequences every day and functions as a vectorial force translator. A fracture rate of 1% of all skeletal fractures is reported and surgical treatment often required. beside a direct trauma mechanism, indirect mechanism but as well as fatigue fractures after reconstructive knee surgery are published. The fracture management is depe...
