OBJECTIVE To assess the frequency, characteristics, and risk of injury during seizure attacks. DESIGN Questionnaire survey. SETTING Epilepsy out-patient clinic of the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Institute of Neurology, London. PATIENTS One hundred consecutive epileptic patients and their caretakers or relatives, who attended the hospital between 1 May and 30 June 200...

BACKGROUND With high energy fractures to the calcaneus there is the potential for significant bone loss. The loss of bone can make it difficult to fully regain calcaneal alignment. In addition these fractures are often associated with significant soft tissue injury. These two factors make it difficult to address this injury in a single stage, and can have significant complications. To address t...

BACKGROUND Facial soft tissue injury can be one of the most challenging cases presenting to the plastic surgeon. The life quality and self-esteem of the patients with facial injury may be compromised temporarily or permanently. Immediate reconstruction of most defects leads to better restoration of form and function as well as early rehabilitation. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to pres...

background: this was a retrospective cephalometric study to develop a more precise estimation of soft tissue changes related to underlying tooth movment than simple relatioship betweenhard and soft tissues. materials and methods: the lateral cephalograms of 61 adult patients undergoing orthodontic treatment (31 = premolar extraction, 31 = nonextraction) were obtained, scanned and digitized befo...

way results in severe crushing injury causing extensive soft tissue damage, and on occasions, fractures of the bones of the hands, forearms, or feet (figs 2 and 3). I saw these six children who needed admission to hospital, their injuries ranging from soft tissue damage alone to multiple displaced open fractures of the phalanges. They have been followed up clinically and radiologically for six ...

STUDY DESIGN Soft tissue-related injuries to the cervical spine structures were produced by use of intact entire human cadavers undergoing rear-end impacts. Radiography, computed tomography, and cryomicrotomy techniques were used to evaluate the injury. OBJECTIVES To replicate soft tissue injuries resulting from single input of whiplash acceleration to whole human cadavers simulating vehicula...

Suday, O cber 8, 2017 Development of infection was associated with longer periods from initiation of NPWT use to definitive soft tissue coverage (p<0.01); this finding was independent of time from injury to soft tissue coverage but correlated with number of operations. Limb salvage rate was 95.9% and 50.0% of patient could ambulate without an assistance device 3 or more months out of surgery.
