Treatment of Concomitant Congenital Pseudarthrosis of the Fibula With Propeller Periosteal Flap.

Introduction: Congenital pseudarthrosis of the fibula is not an uncommon condition to accompany congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia. Persistence of the fibular pseudarthrosis has been linked to inferior outcomes including tibial union and alignment, refractures, and ankle alignment. In this report, we present the results of a pedicled periosteal propeller flap technique for the treatment of fibular pseudarthrosis.

Congenital Pseudarthrosis of the Tibia: Long-term Outcome of Treatment With Intramedullary Vascularized Fibular Graft Combined With Ilizarov Distraction.

Background: Late presenting cases of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia, are further complicated with severe shortening. Limb length discrepancy (LLD) cannot be corrected by vascularized fibular grafting and the use of Ilizarov distraction is associated with a high rate of complications. The aim of this study was to report the long-term follow-up of a combined technique previously published under the name "telescoping vascularized fibular graft".

Outcome of surgery for acute infective endocarditis: does preoperative stroke have an impact on mortality?

Purpose: Surgical therapy of infective endocarditis (IE) is challenging and can be associated with high mortality. In this study, we present the early outcomes of patients who underwent cardiac surgery for IE.

Methods: From 2017 until 2019, 66 patients underwent surgical treatment for IE.

Long-term Evaluation of Teres Major to Infraspinatus Transfer for Treatment of Shoulder Sequelae in Obstetrical Brachial Plexus Palsy.

Background: The long-term results of soft tissue rebalancing procedures of the shoulder in obstetric brachial plexus palsy have been scarcely reported. The effect of this procedure on the evolution of secondary bone changes has been a subject of controversy.

Methods: Twenty-six children are included in this study.

Conservative surgery in patients with malignant ovarian germ cell tumours.

Conservative surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy has made the preservation of fertility even in patient with advanced disease. The increase in cure rate has shifted to research for the long term menstrual reproductive and gynecologic outcome in these patients. The current study is retrospective for 25 cases of ovarian malignant germ cell tumor from January 2006 to January 2011, at El Hussian and Sayed Galal University Hospitals.
