Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate a series of select subtrochanteric fractures who were treated with PFNA with reduction assisted with pointed clamp and cable cerclage and to determine the effect of this technique on reduction quality, and to provide our recommendations. Methods: Between August 2011 and February 2013, 13 patients with a subtrochanteric femoral fracture (six obl...

The objective: was to investigate the coefficients of acceleration capacity (AC) and deceleration (DC) in women with «short cervix» syndrome.Materials methods. A total 292 pregnant were examined. They divided into several groups according results study cervical length methods prevention premature birth. Group I included normal cervicometry data. In other there a cevix». group II, who underwent ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether or not reconstruction of the medial cortex in subtrochanteric fracture can reduce the risks of internal fixation failure, fracture malunion, and nonunion. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Between 2005 and 2008, 46 patients with subtrochanteric fracture were treated with intramedullary nailing and followed up. The average age was 42 years. According to the Seinsheimer clas...

The development of cerclage systems for fixation of greater trochanteric osteotomies has progressed from monofilament wires to multifilament cables to cable grip and cable plate systems. Cerclage wires and cables have various clinical indications, including fixation for fractures and for trochanteric osteotomy in hip arthroplasty. To achieve stable fixation and eventual union of the trochanteri...

The patellar bone is involved in repetitive, load bearing motion sequences every day and functions as a vectorial force translator. A fracture rate of 1% of all skeletal fractures is reported and surgical treatment often required. beside a direct trauma mechanism, indirect mechanism but as well as fatigue fractures after reconstructive knee surgery are published. The fracture management is depe...

OBJECTIVE To validate the diagnosis of second trimester miscarriages/deliveries (16+0 weeks to 27+6 weeks of gestation) recorded as miscarriages in the Danish National Patient Registry or spontaneous deliveries in the Danish Medical Birth Registry, and asses the validity of risk factors, pregnancy complications, and cerclage by review of medical records. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a cohort of 2...

INTRODUCTION Only a few reports have described calcaneus fractures after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Therefore, in this report, we describe a case of calcaneal avulsion fracture that occurred 5 weeks after a TKA in a relatively young male patient with syphilis. CASE REPORT A 63-year-old man with syphilis had Charcot joint of the right knee. The patient developed severe varus deformity and ...

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the results of surgical treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation using coracoclavicular cerclage, coracoacromial ligament transfer to the distal third of the clavicle, and a new option for strengthening the temporary stabilization of the ACJ using a Kirschner wire between the clavicle and scapula. We evaluated 21 patients who underwen...
