Objectives: To analyze the results of biomechanical assays of the fixation of Pauwels type II femoral neck fractures in synthetic bones, using two parallel cannulated screws or three cannulated screws in an inverted pyramid formation.
Methods: Ten Brazilian-made synthetic bones were divided into 2 groups. Groups A and B utilized three and two cannulated screws, respectively, after osteotomy in the middle third of the femur, perpendicular to the axis of the femoral neck, simulating a Pauwels type II femoral neck fracture.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify risk factors and analyze patient and lesion characteristics in Dupuytren's disease through a retrospective analysis of patients from a hand surgery clinic.
- A total of 58 patients were evaluated, with 46% having bilateral involvement; the ulnar fingers were most affected, particularly the ring finger, and 55% of cases presented with cords while 45% had nodules.
- The findings indicated that Dupuytren's disease predominantly affects men, white individuals, and older patients, with significant associations to diabetes mellitus and hypertension.
The purpose of the present clinical case is to remind clinicians that craniopharyngiomas, which are benign neoplasms with a high incidence of local recurrences, may also present ectopic recurrences which may at first go unsuspected. These tumors most commonly arise in the suprasellar region and despite their benign histology, they may infiltrate the surrounding neurovascular structures making total removal challenging. Ectopic recurrences of craniopharyngiomas are very rare.
