This retrospective study aimed to identify and classify fractures in the appendicular axial skeletons of birds from Cariamidae Falconidae families presented a referral centre. Twelve thirteen adult red-legged seriemas (Cariama cristata) had skeleton one an fracture. All occurred pelvic limbs, but bird also thoracic limb Among long-bone fractures, ten were tibiotarsus. these six comminuted, two ...

BACKGROUND Blunt carotid arterial injury (BCI) is a rare injury associated with motor vehicle collision (MVC). There are few population based analyses evaluating carotid injury associated with blunt trauma and their associated injuries as well as outcomes. METHODS The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2003-2010 data was queried to identify patients after MVC who had documented BCI during thei...

Generally, patients with severe burst fractures, instability, or neurological deficits require surgical treatment. In most cases, circumferential reconstruction is performed. Surgical methods for three-column include anterior, lateral, and posterior approaches. cases involving an anterior lateral approach, collaboration general thoracic surgeons may be necessary because the adjacent anatomical ...

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to use MRI and CT observe osteoporosis vertebral fracture (OVF) combined with endplate-disc complex (EDC) injury classify the degree EDC according changes in signal intensity morphology on images. Methods We investigated incidence injury, observed using CT, graded injuries from 0 4 their severity. compared whether there were differences among di...

The aim of the study was to present one clinic’s experience in the treatment of thoracic injuries. Particular attention was paid to the methods for treatment of patients after thoracic injuries. Material and methods. During the years 1996-2006, 273 patients with thoracic injuries were hospitalized in the clinic; 0.9% of all patients treated during this time. There were 66 women (24.2%) and 207 ...

Introduction: Closed thoracic trauma is frequently associated with rib fractures and pulmonary contusions. Thoracic can be life-threatening if it not treated immediately properly. This study aimed to determine the relationship between scoring mortality in blunt patients sub-population Indonesia, especially at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang, Indonesia.

Existing vertebral fractures are often missed because they are clinically difficult to diagnose, because recognition of the fractures on radiological images is difficult or because the clinical relevance of the diagnosis of vertebral fractures may be underestimated by the treating physician. There is every reason to focus on the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral fractures: they are strong pr...

Thirty-seven patients with thoracic and lumbar spine fractures were treated with Harrington rod instrumentation (HRI), and the progress and results of that surgery were monitored with intraoperative spinal sonography (IOSS). Adequate neural tissue decompression and spinal column alignment was achieved in less than one-half (14/31, 45%) of the patients in whom HRI was performed as the first step...

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a noninflammatory degenerative disease that affects multiple spine levels and, in combination with osteoporosis, makes vertebrae more prone to fractures, especially in elderly people. We describe a rare case of thoracic fracture in an ankylosed spine in which hemoptysis was the only clinical sign. The patient (age in the early 80s) presented wi...

Tibial eminence avulsion fractures are rare injuries occurring mainly in adolescents and young adults. When necessary, regardless of patient age, anatomic reduction and stable internal fixation are mandatory for fracture healing and accurate restoration of normal knee biomechanics. Various arthroscopically assisted fixation methods with sutures, anchors, wires, or screws have been described but...
