Here we present a case of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the stomach that presented with extensive metastases of skin, liver and...

We studied prospectively 81 consecutive patients undergoing hip surgery using the Hardinge (1982) approach. The abductor muscles of the hip in these patients were assessed electrophysiologically and clinically by the modified Trendelenburg test. Power was measured using a force plate. We performed assessment at two weeks, and at three and nine months after operation. At two weeks we found that ...

This study evaluated the effect of immediate full weight bearing on abductor repair and clinical function after total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a direct lateral (modified Hardinge) approach. The surgical approach detached a bone flake with the abductors, providing a radiographic marker for abductor displacement and healing. Patients in whom weight bearing was restricted for 6 weeks (partial-...

Simultaneous bilateral hip fractures are exceedingly rare and usually occur following a seizure. To our knowledge, only 22 cases of such injuries have been reported in the literature during the past forty years and the majority of fractures are treated with open reduction and internal fixation. We present a case of a 66-year old man with Down syndrome and severe dementia who was diagnosed with ...
