Surgical technique involves a lateral decubitus position, with the upper operated limb draped free. The skin incision is made directly lateral or with a slight posterior curve, and a split is made in the tensor fascia lata and gluteus maximus exposing the trochanter. The anterior 30% to 40% of the gluteus medius attachment to the trochanter is elevated via a curving subperiosteal incision. A ve...

Oral and maxillofacial surgery involves few procedures that may show severe complications with potential of life threatening problems. Subperiosteal abscess of orbit is an extremely rare complication arising spontaneously or after dental surgery. Till date, the occurrence of severe infections following surgical removal of third molars has not been clearly understood. Cellulitis of the orbit is ...

Local insulin delivery has been shown to improve osseous healing in diabetic animals. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effects of local intramedullary delivery of saline or Ultralente insulin (UL) on various fracture healing parameters using an in vivo non-diabetic BB Wistar rat model. Quantitation of local insulin levels showed a rapid release of insulin from the fractured femora,...

Osteomyelitis of the clavicle is a rare entity with a broad differential diagnosis and high potential for complications if not diagnosed promptly and treated appropriately. The threshold for surgical intervention should be low to prevent osteonecrosis and bony resorption. In addition, although rare, life-threatening complications have been reported. This report describes primary osteomyelitis o...

UNLABELLED Among the several treatment strategies available for acute myocardial infarction, primary percutaneous coronary intervention concomitant with antithrombotic agents is the primary treatment used to facilitate coronary reperfusion. However, bleeding can create major complications. Here we have presented a case of acute myocardial infarction treated with reperfusion therapy, after which...
