A new modification of the Trapdoor Procedure without surgical hip dislocation in the management of patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head: A retrospective case series.

Objective: The aim of this paper was to investigate the mid-term results of a modified Trapdoor procedure that can allow grafting of the femoral head without surgical hip dislocation in the management of patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Methods: 16 hips of 12 patients (7 female, 5 male; mean age = 38.5 ± 10.

Longitudinal Epiphyseal Bracket as an Overlooked Etiology of Congenital-Residual Hallux Varus: A Case Report.

Longitudinal epiphyseal bracket is a rare ossification disorder of the short tubular bones. The affected bone becomes deformed as a result of the bracket. The normal growth pattern cannot occur, and when it affects the first metatarsal bone, hallux varus may develop with the abnormal growth pattern.

Allogeneic blood transfusion decreases with postoperative autotransfusion in hip and knee arthroplasty.

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of postoperative autotransfusion method on prevention of the need of allogeneic blood transfusion in hip and knee arthroplasty.

Methods: Seventy-four patients who underwent 77 hip and knee arthroplasty operations were randomized into control and study groups, and evaluated prospectively. In the knee group (39 patients; 30 females, 9 males; mean age 66.

Arthroscopic bullet extraction from the hip in the lateral decubitus position.

Hip arthroscopy was first described in 1931 by Burman, and in recent years the applications have extended to labral surgery, osteochondroplasty, and a variety of other procedures. Hip arthroscopy may also be employed to extract loose or foreign bodies from the hip, and may be associated with more rapid recovery than an open procedure. We present a case of arthroscopic bullet removal from the hip in a 24-year-old man.

Successful treatment of bilateral open calcaneal fractures with concomitant lower extremity injuries: A case report.

Open calcaneal fractures are high morbidity injuries and the risk of complications depends on the concomitant injuries, on the size and the position of the traumatic wound. A 53-year-old male patient with bilateral open calcaneal fractures and associated concomitant lower extremity injuries such as subtalar dislocation, talonavicular dislocation and open distal tibial metaphyseal fracture was immediately operated by percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation combined with external fixators. He was able to walk with full weight bearing without any assistance at the end of the first postoperative year.

[The results of treatment in pediatric Monteggia equivalent lesions].

Objectives: We evaluated the results of conservative and surgical treatment of pediatric Monteggia equivalent lesions.

Methods: The study included 13 children (3 females, 10 males; mean age 8 years; range 4 to 13 years) who underwent treatment for Monteggia equivalent lesions. Seven patients (53.

[Calcific myonecrosis].

Calcific myonecrosis is a rare complication of limb trauma, that may occur after many years. It is characterized by dystrophic calcification that develops in the late period following compartment syndrome usually in the lower limb. We present a 66-year-old man who developed calcific myonecrosis 35 years after surgical intervention for compartment syndrome secondary to a gunshot injury to the left thigh.
