Avive Soft Tissue Membrane Improves Outcomes of Revision Upper-extremity Nerve Decompression Surgery.

Unlabelled: Revision nerve decompression remains a challenge for surgeons. Avive Soft Tissue Membrane is processed human umbilical cord membrane that may reduce inflammation and scarring, thereby improving tissue gliding. Although synthetic conduits have been reported in revision nerve decompression, the use of Avive has not.

Bony hypertrophy of the forearm in bareback rodeo athletes.

Objective: Activities that require increased load bearing are known to cause bony hypertrophy. This phenomenon has been documented in the dominant arm of athletes in sports requiring significant utilization of a single limb. The literature addressing this effect in rodeo athletes, however, is minimal.

Preoperative Angiography Can Guide Treatment of Post-Femoral Neck Fracture Capital Femoral Physeal Separation and Displacement: A Case Report.

Case: A 13-year, 6-month-old boy sustained a Delbet type III femoral neck fracture with postoperative femoral head avascular necrosis (AVN) and subsequent capital femoral physeal separation (CFPS). Preoperative angiography revealed a patent artery of the ligamentum teres to the femoral head epiphysis, allowing our patient to undergo a modified Dunn procedure to maintain this artery and preserve his native hip.

Conclusion: Preoperative angiography allows for real-time identification of femoral head epiphyseal blood supply in patients with femoral head AVN complicated by CFPS and guides surgical treatment for hip preservation.

THE CONSTRAINING EFFECT OF THE LATERAL FEMORAL INTERMUSCULAR SEPTUM ON PASSIVE HIP ADDUCTION IN UN-EMBALMED CADAVERS.

Background: Due to the lack of verifiable iliotibial band elongation in response to stretching, the anatomical, biomechanical, and physiological responses to treatment of iliotibial band syndrome remain unclear. The lateral intermuscular septum, consisting of multiple myofibroblasts, firmly anchors the iliotibial band to the femur.

Purpose And Hypothesis: The purpose of this in-situ study was to examine the constraining effect of the lateral intermuscular septum on available passive hip adduction range of motion in un-embalmed cadavers.

Effects of powdered rifampin and vancomycin solutions on biofilm production of on orthopedic implants.

Purpose: Hardware infections in orthopedic surgery, specifically those involving biofilm producing bacteria, are troublesome and are highly resistant to systemic antibiotics. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the power of rifampin and vancomycin solutions in inhibiting as well as eliminating on staphylococcus aureus () biofilm on stainless-steel implants.

Methods: A suspension of either or a containing a plasmid that cods for the green fluorescence protein containing fluorescent protein plasmid was applied to 1 × 1cm sterile stainless steel orthopedic plating material (coupon).

Periprosthetic Fracture through a Unicortical Tracking Pin Site after Computer Navigated Total Knee Replacement.

A rare complication from computer-navigated total knee arthroplasty is a fracture through the insertion site of a tracking pin. These pins are inserted across the femoral and tibial shafts either bicortically, transcortically, or unicortically and have a reported fracture incidence of 1.38%, with all published cases occurring after bicortical pin placement.

Bosworth Dislocation without Associated Fracture.

One of the rarest ankle injuries is the Bosworth fracture-dislocation, whereby the distal fibula fractures and is lodged behind the tibia and is often unable to be reduced in a closed fashion. Even more rarely, a Bosworth dislocation without any accompanying fractures may occur. In this case, a 19-year-old male presented with a Bosworth dislocation, with the ipsilateral tibia having previously undergone intramedullary nailing.
