BACKGROUND Operative treatment of higher degree acromioclavicular joint luxation is common. A new option is made available by the tight rope technique. It claims to provide adequate outcome with the use of a minimally invasive technique. First clinical studies justified its medical use, but the equivalence to established surgical methods remains unclear. We therefore analyzed radiographic data ...

BACKGROUND The aim of study was to determine the occurrence of tooth injuries and associated factors among patients treated at a hospital emergency ward. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted involving the analysis of 790 patient charts. The independent variables were gender, place of residence and type of accident. The dependent variable was tooth injury (fractures, concussion, luxat...

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an excellent salvage procedure for debilitating conditions that included osteoarthritis, hip luxation, femoral head and neck fracture and revision of femoral head ostectomy providing excellent hip joint function. Six dogs with clinical condition of hip dysplasia with luxation (three), severe osteoarthritis (two) and hip luxation (one) weighing 30 kg b.wt were sub...

A two-year-old male Pomeranian dog was presented to a veterinary hospital due the side effects of surgical correction for patellar luxation. Stifle joint arthrodesis (SJA) performed on patient’s right leg using autologous bone-grafting techniques. The femur and tibial were angled 120–130°, an SJA plate fixed front two bones. After performing fusion limb, medial-patellar-luxation-(MPL)-correctiv...

Résumé Le nerf ulnaire au coude a une situation anatomique très particulière, qui explique son importante vulnérabilité. Les auteurs rapportent cinq cas, d'instabilité post-traumatique du nerf ulnaire avec luxation complète du nerf en avant de l'épitrochlée. A la lumière de notre expérience et d'une revue de la littérature, les aspects pathogéniques, diagnostiques et thérapeutiques de cette pat...

Autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (AD-MSC) therapy involves harvesting fat from the patient, isolating the stem and regenerative cells, and administering the cells back to the patient. Autologous AD-MSC therapy in veterinary regenerative medicine has been commercially available since 2003. Previously reported results from a blinded, controlled trial in dogs with chronic osteoarth...
