Several techniques have been described for meniscal allograft transplantation. The main differences between the techniques include open versus arthroscopically assisted, soft tissue fixation versus bony fixation, and bone plug versus bone-bridge. Regardless of the technique used, the most important factor in successful meniscal transplantation is appropriate sizing and anatomic placement of the...

Prostate cancer is mostly known to metastasize to the bony skeleton. Soft tissue metastasis involving visceral organs such as the liver, lung and brain are unusual and rare manifestations of this cancer. However, with better treatment modalities and increased survival, the incidence of these unusual presentations, seems to have risen in the last few years. Prostate cancer is rarely known to met...

Three-dimensional (3D) rotational radiography, initially developed to visualize intracranial aneurysms, is applied to the cervical spine after conventional myelography. We call this process 3D rotational myelography. 3D reconstruction and then postprocessing allows imaging in multiple planes. Spinal or nerve root sheath alterations caused by bony or soft tissue can be visualized and differentia...

Loss of bony integrity of the temporomandibular joint may result in prolapse of the joint capsule into the external auditory canal. This in turn gives rise to arthralgia, trismus and earache and a risk of septic arthritis. We describe a technique of repair which is simple, uses autologous tissue and has an acceptable cosmetic and functional result.

syndrome is a rare congenital syndrome involving enlarged veins and arteries, limb hypertrophy and capillary malformations. In 1900, French physicians, Klippel and Trenaunay, first described what became known as Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome after two patients presented with a triad of symptoms — port-wine stain, varicose veins, and bony and soft tissue hypertrophy involving an extremity (Klippel ...

The free scapular flap is a versatile flap for soft tissue and bony reconstruction of the head and neck. It has a very reliable blood supply and is easy to harvest. In this paper, we present our cumulative experience with the use of five cutaneous flaps and 31 osteocutaneous flaps.

Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome (KTS) is an uncommon entity. This congenital malformation is characterized by the triad of soft tissue or bony hypertrophy, cutaneous vascular malformations, and atypical venous abnormalities. We report here a case of KTS and discuss the clinical features, investigations, and management of this enigmatic condition.

We report the case of a patient with chondrosarcoma involving the right pelvis and contralateral pubic area in a 45-year-old male who underwent an extensive internal hemipelvectomy without bony reconstruction. We demonstrate the technique of using polypropylene mesh graft for soft-tissue reconstruction. Follow-up at 7.5 years showed a good oncological and functional outcome.

PURPOSE In this work, the authors retrospectively compared the accumulated dose over the treatment course for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) of lung cancer for three patient setup strategies. METHODS Ten patients who underwent lung SBRT were selected for this study. At each fraction, patients were immobilized using a vacuum cushion and were CT scanned. Treatment plans were perform...

BACKGROUND Face transplantation is an increasingly feasible option for patients with severe disfigurement. Donors and recipients are currently matched based on immune compatibility, skin characteristics, age, and gender. Aesthetic outcomes of the match are not always optimal and not possible to study in actual cases due to ethical and logistical challenges. We have used a reproducible and inexp...
