Novel Use of a Porcine Bladder Extracellular Matrix Scaffold to Treat Postoperative Seroma in a Total Knee Arthroplasty Patient.

Seroma formation in a knee arthroplasty surgery is a rare complication. When seromas occur, they act as a nidus for bacterial growth and create an optimal environment for surgical site infections. In this case report, a 52-year-old woman presented with a seroma after multiple revision operations on the left knee.

Adding deltoid ligament repair in ankle fracture treatment: Is it necessary? A systematic review.

Background: Deltoid ligament injuries are typically caused by supination-external rotation or pronation injury. Numerous ligament reconstruction techniques have been proposed; however, clear indications for operative repair have not yet been well established in the literature.

Methods: We reviewed primary research articles comparing ORIF treatment for ankle fracture with versus without deltoid ligament repair.

Screw fixation for supracondylar humerus fractures in children: a report of seventeen cases.

Purpose: Supracondylar fractures in the pediatric population are common. For years, K-wires have been the preferred method of surgical fixation. However, fixation with K-wires alone may lead to multiple complications.

The impact of acute compartment syndrome on the outcome of tibia plateau fracture.

Background: Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is often associated with tibial plateau fractures and is a limb-threatening injury. Staged management through fasciotomy with delayed definitive fixation can prevent muscle necrosis and increase limb salvage rates. This procedure opens a large area for potential contamination and infection in the lower extremity.
