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...

Complex facial injuries with soft tissue degloving and bony avulsion are very devastating to the patient. Partial degloving injuries are described but hemifacial degloving with zygoma avulsion are rare. The author presents a case of post-traumatic degloving of the left upper lip, nose, part of forehead, upper and lower eyelids and cheek with avulsion of the left zygoma. The management included ...

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 ...

PURPOSE A youthful female upper eyelid contour includes a concave medial portion of the upper eyelid along with a fuller, convex lateral eyelid. The skin in the lateral eyelid is tight without hooding. This is a sigmoid shape in 3-dimensional terms. With aging, fatty herniation medially along with redundant, hooded, ptotic lateral skin creates the exact opposite eyelid curve. The sigmoid blepha...
