A radiologic determination of the different screw cutting patterns in cut and uncut orthopedic cortical screws using a novel imaging technique.

Objective: We hypothesize that cut screws will deform in a manner that increases the core and outer diameters of the screw hole compared to uncut controls, and effects will be more pronounced in titanium screws.

Materials And Methods: We used biomechanical polyurethane foam blocks to simulate cortical bone. We organized four groups of stainless steel and titanium cut and uncut screws.

Experience in Providing Ambulatory Surgery From an Expeditionary Fast Transport Mobile and Rapidly Deployable Expeditionary Medical Unit During Continuing Promise 2018.

Introduction: This article describes the surgical component of the Continuing Promise 2018 (CP-18) medical training and military cooperation mission. We report on the surgical experience and lessons learned from performing peacetime ambulatory surgeries in a tent-based facility constructed on partner nation territory.

Methods: This CP mission was unique in utilizing a land-based expeditionary surgical facility.

Synovial chondromatosis of the flexor hallucis longus tendon sheath.

This case report discusses a rare case of secondary tenosynovial chondromatosis of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL). Synovial chrondomatosis is a rare, benign proliferative cartilaginous lesion arising from the synovial tissue or bursal lining of or near joints. When it is extra-articular, it is considered tenosynovial chondromatosis.

Bony Edema and Clinical Examination Findings Predict the Need for Distal Clavicle Excision at the Time of Shoulder Arthroscopy.

: Deciding to perform a distal clavicle excision for acromioclavicular joint arthritis, especially in conjunction with other arthroscopic shoulder procedures, is challenging for surgeons. Studies have reported mixed results on the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in decision making. : We sought to correlate MRI findings with clinical symptoms and the surgeon's decision to perform a distal clavicle excision.
