Surgical Correction of Ischiopagus Tripus Conjoined Twins with Fused Pelvis: Enhancing Quality of Life through Orthopedic Intervention.

BACKGROUND The rarity of ischiopagus tripus conjoined twins complicates the surgical separation, owing to the lack of cases and high complexity. We aim to report our experience in performing orthopedic correction for ischiopagus tripus twins. CASE REPORT A pair of 3-year-old conjoined boys presented with a fused body at the pelvis region and only 1 umbilicus.

A devastating complication from neonate knee septic arthritis due to conservative treatment: A case report.

Introduction: Septic arthritis in the neonate is a devastating condition that affects children and causes irreversible limb dysfunction or deformity. Neonatal septic arthritis is harmful and will end with skeletal abnormalities.

Presentation Of Case: Neonate born with ileal atresia and underwent surgical treatment.

Neglected cervical spondyloptosis of the 5 - 6 cervical spine following cervical manipulation: A case report.

A 16-year-old boy was diagnosed with spondyloptosis of the cervical spine at the C5-6 level with a neurologic deficit following cervical manipulation. He could not move his upper and lower extremities, but the sensory and autonomic function was spared. The pre-operative American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) Score was B with SF-36 being 25%, and Karnofsky's score was 40%.

Low profile external fixation using locking compression plate as treatment option for management of soft tissue problem in open tibia fracture grade IIIA: A case series.

Introduction: External fixators are the most common fixation method for fractures with substantial soft tissue compromise. Nonetheless, the frames used are bulky, uncomfortable, and cumbersome to patients. Using locking compression plate (LCP) as an external fixator (low profile external fixation/LPEF) owns the same properties as standard external fixators but may overcome disadvantages because of its low-profile frame.
