Introduction: Degenerative cervical myelopathy caused by long-standing neglected AAD is rare, especially in severe cases. Combined with the exceptional right vertebral artery hypoplasia condition, treatment must be integrated into multitherapy to avoid fatal complications.
Case: A 55-year-old man presented with degenerative cervical myelopathy caused by posttraumatic severe atlantoaxial dislocation for more than 10 years in patients with right vertebral artery hypoplasia.
Despite improvements in medical care, the burden of sepsis remains high. In this study, we evaluated the incremental cost associated with postoperative sepsis and the impact of postoperative sepsis on clinical outcomes among surgical patients in Vietnam. We used the national database that contained 1,241,893 surgical patients undergoing seven types of surgery.

However, systematic analysis of the economic burden in low- and middle-income countries is lacking.
Methods: We used the nationwide database of the Vietnam Social Insurance agency and extracted data from January 2017 to September 2018.
Background: To aim of the present paper was to evaluate the results of halo traction and transarticular screw fixation combined with bone autoplasty in patients with severe atlantoaxial dislocation.
Case Presentation: This is a retrospective study of severe cases of atlantoaxial dislocation in nine patients (six men and three women) treated with preoperative halo traction and posterior C1-C2 transarticular screw fixation combined with bone autoplasty from June 2006 to June 2011 at the Saint Paul Hospital (Hanoi). The mean age of patients was 37.
An 8-year-old girl was admitted with four limb weakness for 2 months. Hyperactive reflexes were observed in all four limbs, and positive Hoffmann's signs were revealed. An MRI spine with the coronal slide detected two tumors, first in the intradural and intramedullary space at the C2-C4 level and the second in the intradural and extramedullary space at the C5-C7 level.

Materials And Methods: This prospective study involves 28 patients, who underwent arthroscopic fixation of displaced ACL avulsion fractures at Saint Paul Hospital (Hanoi) from January 2014 to March 2018.
Results: The first three weeks were not marked with any abnormalities associated with post-operative sutures and hematomas, infectious complications were not detected either.

Background: This study aims at investigating the outcome and electrophysiologic recovery of 150 carpal tunnel syndrome hands after single-portal endoscopic surgery.
Methods: Patients with the cross-sectional area of the median nerve being 13-15 mm on ultrasound or abnormal sensory nerve conduction velocity on EMG are assigned to endoscopic surgery that cuts the decompressing transverse ligament to avoid the emergence of severe symptoms, such as muscular atrophy and loss of hand function.
Results: Single-portal endoscopic release is a safe and efficacious option for carpal tunnel release.
