Two female patients presented with multiple radiolucent lesions noted on panoramic radiography. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans confirmed “punched-out” affecting the skull.

OBJECTIVES Practitioners should be aware of the occurrence rate and usual location of radiolucent jaw lesions. The aims of this study were to examine the frequency and location of radiolucent jaw lesions, including apical granulomas, apical cysts, keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KOTs), central giant cell lesions (CGCLs), ameloblastomas, and metastatic lesions, that were submitted for biopsy al...

Purpose In situ fixation for mild to moderate slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) remains an acceptable treatment methodology in most centers. Satisfactory fixation results have been reported with the procedure using either the fracture table or radiolucent table, both of which allow the hip to be imaged during the procedure. The position of the pin within the center of the femoral head is...

A 13-year-old boy who accidentally ingested an aluminum beverage can pull tab. Neck and chest radiographs did not reveal any foreign body. This case report illustrates poor negative predictive value of conventional for a suspected body demonstrates superiority CT this purpose. In such presentations, it is imperative to have low threshold performing further diagnostic evaluation with due the rel...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and radiologic findings of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) using cemented polished femoral stems. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 91 hips (91 patients) that had undergone primary THA with cemented polished femoral stems who were followed for at least 10 years. The mean age at surgery was 57 years (4...

cone beam computed tomography is a useful technique for imaging the craniofacial lesions. it produces more realistic images that facilitate interpretation. juvenile ossifying fibroma (jof) is a rare and benign fibro-osseous neoplasm that arises within the craniofacial bones, especially in the maxilla. mandibular lesions can be seen in 10% of the cases.in both jaws, it has a predilection for the...

The purpose of this report is to describe the histopathology of radiolucent lesions associated with pulp necrosis in primary molars. Twenty-one carious, previously untreated, primary molars with radiolucent lesions were extracted with forceps under local anesthesia. If a lesion remained attached to the root, the specimen was transferred to 10% neutral buffered formalin. The sockets were gently ...

BACKGROUND The short stem prosthesis showed good results in patients with primary osteoarthritis. However there were afew studies about the short stem total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with osteonecrosis of thefemoral head (ONFH). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of the short stem THA in patients with ONFH. The authors hypothesized that the short stem THA wou...

D IAGNOSIS of periapical areas of rarefaction has always been a problem to the oral surgeon and general practitioner. A review of the literature reveals few studieF of apical roentgenolucent areas in the last 10 years. These investigations have concerned themselves mainly with teeth that have had extensive restorative and endodontic treatment. A study was undertaken to (I) evaluate, roentgenogr...

PURPOSE To review the outcome of total elbow replacement (TER) in 21 patients after a mean of 64 months. METHODS Records of 12 women and 9 men aged 32 to 78 (mean, 59.1) years who underwent 22 TERs for rheumatoid arthritis by a single surgeon were reviewed. Functional outcome was assessed using the disability of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire. The range of movement and Kaplan...
