The Essex-Lopresti injury consists of a radial head fracture with associated injury to the forearm interosseus membrane and longitudinal instability of the distal radioulnar joint. Early recognition of this disorder usually results in a predictable and satisfactory outcome. However, when this disorder is unrecognized, late reconstruction is challenging and unpredictable,...

Distraction osteogenesis technique using an intramedullary nail and a monolateral external fixator in the reconstruction of massive postosteomyelitis skeletal defects of the femur
Our study demonstrates that a distraction osteogenesis technique using an intramedullary nail and a monolateral external fixator is a reliable method for the reconstruction of massive postosteomyelitis skeletal...

We describe a simple and useful technique for removal of loose bodies during arthroscopy.
We use standard antero-lateral, antero-medial and supero-lateral arthroscopic portals. The technique is applicable to both pump-assisted and gravity-assisted irrigation. The key to this new technique is reversing the direction of irrigation flow.
The commonest direction of flow is...

Objective: To evaluate functional outcome after hemiarthroplasty for displaced proximal humeral frac- tures and to review whether prosthesis type, intraoperative technique or previous ipsilateral shoulder surgery could affect the outcome.
Conclusion: We conclude that soft tissue status and operative technique play an im- portant role in late postoperative pain and range...

Neurofibromatosis is often associated with a dysplastic progressive scoliosis. Enlargement of the neural foramina by erosion of adjecent neurofibomas occasionally predisposes to the adjacent attached rib entering the spinal canal. We describe such a case in which partial rib excision and later posterior spinal fusion resulted in complete recovery (full...

INTRODUCTION: Children with paralytic hip subluxation secondary to spastic cerebral palsy were treated with a standard protocol that depended on early detection of the subluxation using clinical examination detecting limited range of hip abduction of or= 33% migration as indications. PATIENTS...

Can J Surg 2002 45: #3, 181 Conclusion: In children with scoliosis but no NF1 there is a range of mild scalloping whereas those with NF1 have severe scalloping

The bony conformity of the glenoid and humeral head articular surfaces provides some of the stability of the shoulder. Frequently, patients with recurrent dislocations have bony deficits in one or both of these sur- faces. Glenohumeral instability with substantial glenoid defects or engaging Hill–Sachs lesions poses a difficult challenge for...

Marco Ferrone, MD* Marc H. Isler, MD† Soft-tissue sarcoma involving the popliteal fossa remains challenging because it is difficult to achieve wide margins with limb salvage in this location. Adju- vant therapy is frequently necessary, and limb function can be adversely affected. We reviewed our experience with these tumours.
Despite the...

Trauma remains a tremendous cause of morbidity and mortality in most countries. The objective of our study was to describe injury from trauma at the major referral hospital in Uganda over a 1-year period.
Conclusion: Road traffic collisions are the greatest cause of morbidity and mortality from injury in Kampala, Uganda. When comparing data...

The purpose of this paper is to retrospectively review 234 consecutive cases of scaphoid fractures and nonunions treated using arthroscopy with the dorsal percutaneous implantation of a headless compression screw for healing and complications.
We conclude that the dorsal percutaneous treatment of scaphoid fractures and nonunions using arthroscopy is safe and...

PURPOSE: To compare infection rates associated with 2 dressing solutions for metal-skin interfaces. METHODS: 60 patients who underwent distraction osteogenesis with external fixators were equally randomised into 2 dressing solution groups (diluted povidone-iodine vs. saline).
CONCLUSION: Saline is as effective as diluted povidone-iodine as a dressing solution for metal-skin interfaces of...

Conclusion: When learning bicortical bone drilling, feedback related to plunging is not necessary to achieve a competent level of performance. In addition, although external feedback facilitates the achievement of better outcomes, it does not improve learning. It is suggested that to minimize plunging, trainees should learn how to optimize their...

Pedicle screw–based constructs provide a stronger basis for spinal instru- mentation and fusion than hooks. Placement of the screws within the pedicles is a technically challenging procedure. The orientation of the pedicles with respect to surface landmarks changes along the length of the spine and may be abnormal in the...

The purpose of this study was to assess the functional outcome and causes of persistent disability in patients with isolated femoral shaft fractures treated at an academic level-1 trauma centre.
Conclusion: Recovery from femur fractures occurs most rapidly in the first 6months after injury. Residual deficits in functional out- come were...

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a proliferation of the syn- ovium that leads to villous or nodular changes of synovial-lined joints, bursae and tendon sheaths.1 It is rare and likely caused by either an inflammatory response or neoplastic formation of the synovium. Both the extra- and the intra-articular types appear...

PURPOSE. To report the clinical and radiographic results and complications of the Delta III reverse prosthesis. METHODS. 24 women and 2 men aged 62 to 84 (mean, 75) years underwent total shoulder replacement using the Delta III reverse prosthesis. Patient diagnoses were massive rotator cuff tear (n=20), disabling sequelae of...

The purpose of our investigation was to compare a digital templating system to conventional templating techniques when preoperatively planning for total hip arthroplasty.
Conclusion: Digital preoperative templating is as reliable as conventional templating techniques.

We report a case of ulnar nerve palsy following forearm fracture in a 13-year-old girl. Significant anterior angulation and displacement of the ulna were noted. Operation was performed 3 months after the injury, when no recovery of numbness and claw hand deformity were demonstrated. Intra-operatively the ulnar nerve was found...
