The reconstruction of major acetabular bone defects during revision, conversion, and primary total hip arthroplasties (THAs) is challenging. We reviewed a consecutive series of 168 THAs (108 revisions, 8 conversions, and 52 primary THAs) performed by 1 surgeon (S.B.G.) between 1997 and 2008 using impaction bone grafting for acetabular reconstruction. Autograft, cancellous allograft croutons, an...

To evaluate the effect of third molar impaction and impaction-related parameters on development. Panoramic radiographs (N=3972) from 473 males 558 females between 3.2 23.5 years old were analysed. Three examined: hindering contact adjacent second molar, retromolar space availability (only in lower molars), angulation molar. From separate parameters, a definition for was derived. Third molars’ d...

Abstract It is widely accepted that the prevalence of metal hypersensitivity increasing. Furthermore, incidence unerupted mandibular second molars 2.3%, which 0.2% judged to be a result impaction. While it becoming more common treat impacted in daily clinical practice, hypersensitive patients presenting with are less frequently encountered. There have been no previous reports who required molar...

We report the results of cancellous femoral impaction grafting with cement in revision hip arthroplasty in all patients from one centre who had undergone surgery more than five years previously. A total of 32 surgeons undertook femoral impaction grafting in 207 patients (226 hips). There were no deaths attributable to the revision surgery; 33 patients with 35 functioning hips died with less tha...

The “deep lateral femoral notch” sign refers to an osteochondral impaction injury of the lateral femoral condyle that is associated with disruption of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). At the time of injury, the tibia translates anteriorly relative to the femur resulting in an impaction injury of the lateral femoral condyle against the posterior tibial plateau. Identification of the “deep” ...

Late presentation of foreign body impaction in the esophagus, complicated by perforation in children, has rarely been reported in the literature. Esophageal surgery is very difficult and challenging in Cameroon (a resource limited setting). We are reporting herein 2 cases of esophageal perforation in children seen very late (12 days and 40 days) after foreign body impaction, complicated with se...

Caldwell-Luc procedure, canine impaction, dentigerous cyst, ectopic tooth. Abstract A case of a large dentigerous cyst associated with canine tooth in the maxillary antrum is presented. This case is of interest because of its extensiveness and the presence of an ectopic tooth in the roof of the maxillary sinus. Theoretical aspects of canine impaction and cyst formation are reviewed. The managem...

Fecal impaction is a mass of hardened and compacted stools that the patient can not evacuate spontaneously. It usually occurs in elderly patients disabled or institutionalized but cases have also been reported secondary to foreign bodies, bezoars, etc. The usual symptom is constipation, but overflow diarrhea can also occur. The diagnosis of fecal impaction is made with digital rectal examinatio...

Impaction allografting of bone has been used successfully as a technique to reconstitute bone loss in both the femur and acetabulum in revision total hip replacement (THR) since the pioneering work of the groups in Nijmegen, 1 The Netherlands, and from Exeter...

Esophageal foreign body impaction may be fatal secondary to occlusion of the glottis or external compression membranous portion trachea. A 14-year-old adolescent female was admitted emergency department for evaluation sudden dyspnea and cyanosis after she swallowed a food bolus (a part bachelor radish kimchi) without chewing. Unfortunately, patient died despite cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Au...
