We report here the clinical presentation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and successful surgical management associated with triceps tendon avulsion in a dog. A definitive diagnosis of triceps tendon avulsion was made based on MRI with evidence of displacement of the triceps tendon. Surgical correction of triceps tendon avulsion was performed with two horizontal mattress sutures using...

Avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) are uncommon. On the basis of the site of damage of the PCL, hyperflexion, pretibial trauma, and hyperextension are proposed as mechanisms of PCL injuries. On the other hand, avulsion fractures of the tibial condyle are also rare. We report a PCL-mediated avulsion fracture of the lateral tibial condyle along with the tibial insertion o...

Rats, mice, and hamsters are commonly used laboratory rodents in the experimental modeling strategies of avulsion-induced motoneuron degenerations. It is necessary to study the species-specific gene expression in spinal cord in response to avulsion. We carried out the brachial roots avulsion in all animals and compared the survival and nNOS gene expression in injured motoneurons and spinal segm...

INTRODUCTION Complete ureteral avulsion is one of the most serious complications of ureteroscopy. The aim of this report was to look for a good solution to full-length complete ureteral avulsion. CASE PRESENTATION A 40-year-old man underwent ureteroscopic management. Full-length complete avulsion of ureter occurred during ureteroscopy. Pyeloureterostomy plus greater omentum investment outside...

OBJECTIVE To study whether avulsion and ballooning are independent risk factors for symptoms and/or signs of pelvic organ prolapse. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of data obtained in clinical practice. SETTING Tertiary urogynecology unit. POPULATION Seven hundred and sixty-one consecutive women with symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. METHODS Evaluation included history, vaginal examin...

We describe three cases of retronychia; a chronic case where total nail avulsion had to be performed since the inflammation persisted after proximal nail avulsion and the first two cases of retronychia on an early clinical stage successfully treated with partial nail avulsion. We also describe the first two cases of retronychia appearing after a chemical matricectomy, occurring on the same pati...

Our previous studies have demonstrated that some male patients suffering from brachial plexus injury, particularly brachial plexus root avulsion, show erectile dysfunction to varying degrees. However, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, we evaluated the erectile function after establishing brachial plexus root avulsion models with or without spinal cord injury in ...

Tooth trauma continues to be a common problem that every dental surgeon must be prepared to assess and treat when necessary. One of the serious traumatic injuries is avulsion where one or more teeth come out of the alveolar socket. Tooth avulsion is an emergency for children and adolescents requires management approaches for the survival of avulsed teeth. The objective of this article is aimed ...

Background As the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) anchors the distal radius to the ulna via the radioulnar ligament (RUL), a severely displaced distal fragment of the radius may be associated with a foveal avulsion of the TFCC. The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess, radiographically and arthroscopically, the relationship between displacement of the radius, the ulnar sty...
