the klippel-trenaunay syndrome, first reported in 1910, is a triad of cutaneous hemangioma, varicose veins, and soft tissue or bony hypertrophy. the varicosities are extensive involving the tributaries of the greater or lesser saphenous systems. arteriogram are normal with no evidence of arteriovenous fistulas. multiple ligation and stripping may worsen the condition, and treatment consists of ...

Functional regeneration of complex large-scaled defects requires both soft- and hard-tissue grafts. Moreover, bone constructs within these grafts require an extensive vascular supply for survival metabolism during the engraftment. Soft-tissue pedicles are often used to vascularize bony constructs. However, autologous tissue-harvest required fabrication remains a major procedural drawback. In cu...

BACKGROUND One complication of anteroinferior glenohumeral shoulder dislocation is a critical bone defect that requires surgical repair to prevent recurrent instability. However, controversy exists regarding the surgical management because both open and arthroscopic surgeries have respective advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, it is difficult to determine the patient's preferred treatment, ...

During gestation period the oxygenated maternal blood is transferred to embryo via placenta and umbilical cord into right atrium. It further through an interatrial shunt left atrium, Foramen Ovale, distributed embryonic body. The foramen closed after birth, but remains occasionally patent, permitting embolization a shunt. This transferring thrombi, fat, cement bony spikes, air, malignant tissue...

Objective: Our objective was to compare foot width (bony and soft tissues) in radiological images pre- vs. post-corrective scarf osteotomy patients with hallux valgus. Methods: We retrospectively performed measurements of forefoot (both bony diameter total including on anterior posterior standard radiographs 30 patients, totaling 42 feet, postoperatively, at three months. These were by two eval...

Arthroscopic treatment of bony Bankart lesions can be challenging. We present a new easy and reproducible technique for arthroscopic reduction and suture anchor fixation of bony Bankart fragments. A suture anchor is placed medially to the fracture on the glenoid neck, and its sutures are passed around the bony fragment through the soft tissue including the inferior glenohumeral ligament complex...

BACKGROUND Conventional treatment of destructive periodontal (gum) disease arrests the disease but does not usually regain the bone support or connective tissue lost in the disease process. Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is a surgical procedure that specifically aims to regenerate the periodontal tissues when the disease is advanced and could overcome some of the limitations of conventional t...

A 12-year-old girl was visited at our clinic with multiple soft tissue and bony painless swellings over her right hand since she was 2 years old (Figure 1). Soft tissue masses increased in size and number. She was born to non-consanguineous parents. Her early development was normal and she had no other medical problems. There was no family history of similar problem. Examination revealed multip...
