conclusions this approach may be an appropriate approach to the zygomatic arch in the zmc fractures and eliminates the use of the coronal flap. introduction zygomatic arch fractures are common injuries in the maxillofacial injuries. sometimes it is necessary to fix the unstable fragments of the zygomatic arch. case presentation we introduce a combination of transconjunctival and lateral canthot...

  Background: No uniform consensus exists to decide type of fixation for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Hypothsis: There is similar functional outcome after rigid fix compared to other methods of fixation which has been published. Study design: Retrospective observational study. Methods: A total of 50 patients underwent arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruc...

INTRODUCTION: Syndesmotic injuries of the ankle commonly occur via an external rotation force applied to the ankle joint. The effects of rigid or non-rigid fixation of the syndesmotic injury can be assessed by evaluating the three-dimensional kinematics behavior of tibiofibular diastasis. The specific aims of this study were: 1) to determine the physiological range of motion of the distal tibio...

Rigid fixation of bony structures has been introduced and implemented as a means to improve stability and reduce motion. Tight fixation has been reported as an essential factor for successful healing1. A variety of devices including plates, intramedullary nails, pedicle screws and interbody fusion devices are used in orthopaedic, spinal and cranial facial procedures to provide rigid fixation. T...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart and radiographic review. OBJECTIVE To evaluate spinopelvic fixation technical advancements for the treatment of neuromuscular scoliosis. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Implants for vertebral and pelvic fixation have evolved without data demonstrating the benefit for neuromuscular scoliosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate this evolution in terms of deformi...
