Staged Treatment of Posttraumatic Tibial Osteomyelitis with Rib Graft and Serratus Anterior Muscle Autografts-Case Report.

Osteomyelitis of the tibia is a challenging condition, particularly when it occurs as a result of trauma. This abstract presents a case study detailing the successful staged treatment of posttraumatic tibial osteomyelitis utilizing a unique combination of rib graft and serratus anterior muscle. This medical abstract presents a case study of a 52-year-old male with a history of heavy smoking and obliterating arteriopathy of the lower limbs.

Correlation between multifidus fatty atrophy and lumbar disc degeneration in low back pain.

Background: Chronic low back pain (LBP) is common and associated with lumbar disc herniation. The purpose of this study was to investigate if the grade of lumbar disc degeneration correlates with the degree of lumbar multifidus muscle (LMM) fatty atrophy.

Methods: A retrospective analysis on 16 males and 19 females with chronic LBP and a mean age of 47.

Open anterior glenohumeral dislocation with associated supraspinatus avulsion: A case report.

Background: Open dislocation of the glenohumeral joint is a very rare complication with only six cases described in the literature. Most cases resulted in severe complications like avascular necrosis of the humeral head or septic arthritis with poor functional results. The "mandatory" treatment of choice is surgery, with accurate debridement and reconstruction of the damaged soft tissues.

Extra-articular distal tibia fractures-controversies regarding treatment options. A single-centre prospective comparative study.

Distal tibia fractures are reported to have a high complication rate pre-operatively as well as post-operatively, which can include open fractures, soft tissue damage, infection, malalignment, pseudarthrosis and ankle arthrosis. The operative treatment for the extra-articular distal tibia fractures is a controversial topic in the orthopaedic literature. Some of these fractures are proximal enough to be treated with an intramedullary nail while others are too distal for that.

Emergency pelvic stabilization in patients with pelvic posttraumatic instability.

Introduction: Unstable pelvic ring disruptions have been associated with high rates of morbidity. Accurate reduction with fixation diminishes pain, permits early patient mobility, and allows the pelvic ring to improve functional outcome.

Material And Methods: This was a retrospective study, whereby 30 polytrauma hospitalized patients were included, with unstable pelvic lesions stabilized with an external fixator as a mean of temporary or definitive fixation.
