Management of soft tissue sarcoma involves multimodality treatment, including surgery and radiotherapy. Pathologic fracture of the femur after such treatment in the thigh is one serious, late complication and nonunion rates of 80-90% are reported. We hypothesize that the combination of radiotherapy and periosteal stripping (during tumor resection) leads to greater impairment of the fracture rep...

Growth at the proximal tibial epiphyseal plate of the rat has been measured following three different growth-stimulating procedures. These were proximal periosteal release, distal periosteal release and full periosteal stripping of the diaphysis. A new radiographic method using a photographic technique has made it possible to take accurate measurements of the rate of long-bone growth in small e...

CONCLUSION: We could achieve complete bone healing and premorbid occlusion using microplates. The microplates are strong enough to keep comminuted mandibular fractures reduced. Their small size and malleability allow multiple fixation of comminuted bony segments in accurate-anatomical position, less periosteal stripping and self-occlusal adjustment. Therefore, microplate fixation may be one of ...

The sudden hemodynamic disturbance in the perioperative period can occur because of various surgical and anesthetic reasons but hemodynamic collapse due to noxious stimulus of periosteum stripping has not been described. We report two cases of severe hypotension and bradycardia during periosteum stripping in orthopedic surgery under subarachnoid block even though the block level was adequate. I...

Distal and tibial pilon fractures often are difficult to treat due to soft-tissue damage from high-energy trauma. Classical surgical treatment may produce additional trauma, eg, periosteal stripping and microcirculatory damage, which frequently induce infection, nonunion, or both. This article presents minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis as a treatment method for these types of fractures. M...

In our case, the Steinmann pins provided stable fixation and also facilitated reduction by improving control of the fracture segments containing the pins. The operative exposure and periosteal stripping were minimal and pin removal was easy, although requiring a second general ...

"Toddler's fracture" can be difficult to diagnose but should be suspected whenever a child presents to the accident and emergency department with a limp or fails to bear weight on the leg. Irritable hip and subacute osteomyelitis must feature in the differential diagnosis. The history may or may not include an obvious traumatic episode. Rather than fracture, elastic bowing of the bone and conse...
