brachial artery aneurysms are rare but potentially limb threatening condition. the presented case here is a 52-year old male referred to the emergency department complaining a sudden onset and progressive pain with coldness of his right upper extremity during brushing. the right upper extremity was pulseless and three-dimensional computed tomography showed an aneurysm of the proximal right brac...

C hronic total occlusions of the femoropopliteal segments or infrapopliteal vessels are encountered more frequently with increasing patient longevity, bringing critical limb ischemia (CLI) to greater clinical attention. Surgical revascularization has been well documented for achieving limb salvage; however, the morbidity and mortality rate in this patient cohort can be significant.1 Endovascula...

BACKGROUND Limb-salvage surgery has been well recognized as a standard treatment and alternative to amputation for patients with malignant bone tumors. Various limb-sparing techniques have been developed including tumor prosthesis, allograft, autograft and graft-prosthesis composite. However, each of these methods has short- and long-term disadvantages such as nonunion, mechanical failures and ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Scandinavian Sarcoma Group (SSG) XIV protocol is based on experience from previous SSG trials and other osteosarcoma intergroup trials, and has been considered the best standard of care for patients with extremity localized, non-metastatic osteosarcoma. We analyzed the outcome in 63 consecutive patients. Patients and methods From 2001 through 2005, 63 patients recruit...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which the Mangled Extremity Severity Score (MESS) predicted outcomes for soldiers sustaining combat-related Gustilo-Anderson type III open tibia fractures. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary trauma center. PATIENTS Service Members with combat-related type III open tibia fractures occurring between 2003 an...

Speaker Name: David M. Panicek, MD Department of Radiology Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY [email protected] Highlights • MRI enables accurate diagnosis of certain primary and secondary bone tumors based on their tissue composition, morphology, and/or associated marrow edema pattern. • MRI provides essential details about the local extent of bone tumors, which allows accur...

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.

Objectives Survival in patients with chondrosarcomas has not improved over 40 years. Although emerging evidence documented the efficacy of navigation-assisted surgery, prognostic significance remains unknown. We aimed to assess clinical benefit surgery for pelvic involving peri-acetabulum. Methods studied 50 who underwent limb-sparing periacetabular performed navigation (n = 13) without it 37) ...
