Automated measurement of alpha angle on 3D-magnetic resonance imaging in femoroacetabular impingement hips: a pilot study.

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome is an established pre-osteoarthritic condition. Diagnosis is based on both clinical and radiographic parameters. An abnormal manually calculated alpha angle in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is traditionally utilized to diagnose abnormal femoral head-neck offset.

Does Intraoperative Ketorolac Increase Bleeding in Oculoplastic Surgery?

Purpose: To report adverse hemorrhagic outcomes in patients who received intravenous (IV) ketorolac during oculofacial plastic surgical procedures.

Methods: The medical records of 111 consecutive patients who underwent lacrimal or orbital surgery, between the years 2016 and 2018, performed by a single surgeon under general anesthesia were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were excluded if they had history of a bleeding coagulopathy, anticoagulant use prior to surgery, or insufficient follow up.

[Fixation techniques for slipped capital femoral epiphysis : Principles, surgical techniques, and complications].

The purpose of this review is to present the pros and cons as well as the surgical techniques of conventional implants used for fixation of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). Worth mentioning are K‑wires, Hansson pins, transfixing screws, and gliding screws. We searched PubMed for "ECF" and "SCFE" in combination with "in situ fixation," "pin," "wire," "screw," and "nail.
