Background: Wound complications following open repair for acute Achilles tendon ruptures (AATR) remain the subject of significant debate. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of covering repaired AATR using well-nourished connective tissues (paratenon and deep fascia) to avoid complications after open repair.   Methods: In this case series study, open repair was performed for 3...

Background: Deep neck space infections is defined as infection in the potential spaces and fascial planes of neck. location complexity these make diagnosis treatment difficult. Proper immediate necessary to attain cure without any complications. Treatment principally comprises airway management, surgical intervention i. e.; incision drainage abscess appropriate antibiotic per culture sensitivit...

The advent and wide use of antibiotics have decreased the incidence of deep neck infection. When a deep neck infection does occur, however, it can be the cause of significant morbidity and death, resulting in airway obstruction, mediastinitis, pericarditis, epidural abscesses, and major vessel erosion. In our clinic, a patient with diffuse chronic osteomyelitis of mandible and fascial space abs...

we present a case report of acute spontaneous knee hemarthosis due to erosion of the nail through the knee joint capsule in a boy, seven months following retrograde flexible nailing for fractured femur. careful positioning of the location of the insertion site of flexible nails and proper nail tip management are important to avoid this rare late complication.

conclusions according to the findings of this study, the most common cause of penetrating neck injuries was stab wounds, and the majority of patients were young men, therefore, preventive measures should be implemented. because of fatal complications associated with neck injuries, we recommend early neck exploration in unstable cases or when injuries are deeper than the platysma. results among ...

A retropharyngeal abscess is an infection in one of the deep spaces of the neck. An abscess in this location is an immediate life-threatening emergency with potential for airway compromise and other catastrophic complications . In adults, retropharyngeal abscess can occur as a result of local trauma such as foreign body ingestion like fishbones or instrumental procedures like laryngoscopy, endo...

Kawasaki disease (KD) causes multisystemic vasculitis but infrequently manifests with deep neck infections, such as a peritonsillar abscess, peritonsillar or deep neck cellulitis, suppurative parapharyngeal infection, or retropharyngeal abscess. As its etiology is still unknown, the diagnosis is usually made based on typical symptoms. The differential diagnosis between KD and deep neck infectio...
