UNLABELLED Subtalar coalition is an uncommon condition that usually manifests in early adolescence(1). Frequently, this condition is missed. Delayed diagnosis may result in osteoarthritis requiring triple arthrodesis. Here, we report two patients with subtalar coalition. The first patient is a 12 year old boy who presented with right ankle pain for one year and was treated with excision of the ...

Total femur arthroplasty procedures have previously been used after tumor excision and as a last resort for failed revision arthroplasty. The patient in this case presented with massive loss of femoral bone stock, a periprosthetic fracture, and recurrent Staphylococcus epidermidis infection. A specially designed total femoral spacer impregnated with antibiotics was created for a 2-stage revisio...

: Radial head fractures are the most common of elbow with an estimated incidence 2.5 to 2.9/10,000 people/ year. The radial is reported be between 1.7 5.4 percent all fractures. This study aims assess clinical outcome excision arthroplasty and prosthesis replacement in treatment comminuted Patients fracture presenting orthopaedics department emergency room were included for study. Excision was ...

(DePuy Orthopaedics Inc, Warsaw, Ind) prosthesis is a total condylar, low contact stress, mobile bearing prosthesis, which allows retention or excision of the posterior cruciate ligament. The cemented version has a sandblasted finish on cobalt-chromemolybdenum metallic surface for cement fixation, whereas the cementless version uses Porocoat sintered beads (DePuy) for bone ingrowth (Figure 1). ...

Abstract Background Reactive arthritis had been reported to occur after various vaccinations, including the tetanus toxoid vaccine; here, we report a case of ankylosing arthropathy suggested be complication missed neglected reactive infection. Case presentation A healthy 20-year-old woman presented with subtrochanteric right femoral fracture; imaging studies showed bilateral ankylosed hip, kyph...

Massive acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) cysts are an extremely rare cause of shoulder impairment and with limited consensus in its management. We present the first published case report of a patient with a massive ACJ cyst treated with a reverse total shoulder replacement with minimal ACJ excision arthroplasty.

The results of excision of the head of the radius in forty-four elbows affected by rheumatoid arthritis are presented. Relief of pain was obtained in 90 per cent and an increase in the range of flexion and extension was seen in 70 per cent. Involvement of the humero-ulnar joint seen radiologically is no contra-indication to the operation; simple excision of the radial head often gives gratifyin...

Object: Although pain relief is a primary goal of a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and partial knee arthroplasty (PKA), a significant number of arthroplasty patients experience unexplained pain. This study attempts to determine preoperative or intraoperative factors that may predict pain after knee arthroplasty. Methods: 2585 primary TKAs and 423 PKAs were performed between 1993 and 2013. Infect...

Kinetic-transport equations are, by now, standard models to describe the dynamics of populations of bacteria moving by run-and-tumble. Experimental observations show that bacteria increase their run duration when encountering an increasing gradient of chemotactic molecules. This led to a first class of models which heuristically include tumbling frequencies depending on the path-wise gradient o...
