UNLABELLED We sought to describe the bone bridge technique in adults, and present a variation for use in children, as well as to present its applicability as an option in elective transtibial amputations. This paper presents a prospective study of 15 transtibial amputations performed between 1992 and 1995 in which the bone bridge technique was employed. The patients' ages ranged from 8 to 48 ye...

New information in the context of real life settings usually is accompanied by some kind supplementary that indicates context, reliability, or expertise information's source. Bounded Revision (BR) displays an iterated belief revision mechanism takes as input a new reference sentence acting information, which specifies depth with shall be integrated posterior state. The worlds prior state are af...

Impaction grafting for revision total hip arthroplasty is increasingly being used in cases complicated by substantial bone loss. Many techniques using cemented and noncemented designs with or without bone graft have had unpredictable outcomes and are the source of continuing debate. This new technique uses morselized allograft, impacted into a constrained femoral envelope, creating a new medull...

A revision rotator cuff repair is a technically challenging surgical procedure. This can be further complicated by the presence of poor quality of the cuff tissue, as well as a large greater tuberosity cyst, typically located at the rotator cuff footprint. This Technical Note discusses the surgical approach to deal with a revision rotator cuff tear with a large humeral head cyst. This described...

Recurrent hip dislocation has become an increasing problem in patients who had multiple component revision in total hip arthroplasty. These are often frail elderly patients with loss of constraining soft tissue envelope around the hip and an excessive weakness of the abductor mechanism. We present a simple technique for open reduction of a dislocated hip using a custom-made fully constrained co...

The SWEBOK represents an important milestone in reaching a broad agreement on the contents of the Software Engineering discipline. Formal ontologies thus become a tool to represent such agreement in a logicsbased framework for a number of applications. In this paper, the use of common ontological criteria in the project is described as a useful assessment tool. The use of such con...

We describe methods and outcomes of a technique for sutureless surgical revision of symptomatic corneal overhanging filtering blebs after trabeculectomy using mitomycin in 6 eyes in 6 patients. Separation of the bleb from the corneal surface was achieved by blunt or sharp dissection, as necessary, and the overhanging portion of the bleb was excised and a bandage contact lens was inserted. Outco...

SUMMARY Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is gaining acceptance as an oncologically sound and cosmetically superior mastectomy technique. Debate exists over the management of positive margins near the nipple-areola complex. This case report presents a novel approach to the management of margin-positive ductal carcinoma in situ in NSM. A 50-year-old white female with invasive ductal carcinoma unde...

An increasing number of revision ACL reconstructions are being performed each year. Revision ACL surgery is challenging and cannot be approached in the same manner as primary ACL surgery. Successful revision ACL surgery requires a detailed history, a comprehensive physical examination, appropriate radiologic studies, and careful preoperative planning. The results of revision ACL surgery do not ...
