Background: Surgical removal of dumbbell nerve sheath tumors (NSTs) remains challenging because these neoplasms occupy ≥ 2 spinal and extraspinal spaces. The presence of intraspinal extension, tumor dimension, and/or its location within the thoracic cavity have previously made the resection of these types of neoplasms difficult.
Objective: To describe the feasibility of performing minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery, as facilitated by an image guidance system (IGS), to achieve gross total resection of select dumbbell NSTs located in the thoracic spine.
Background: Exercise programs have been introduced to reduce the ACL injury risk in female athletes. The most effective age at which to start these programs is not known.
Hypothesis: Age and gender affect ligament laxity and quadriceps-to-hamstring strength ratio.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the benefits and risks associated with humeral lengthening procedures in 16 patients, focusing on factors like age and causes of humeral shortening.
- The average lengthening achieved was 5 cm, leading to improved daily activities, enhanced sports performance, and a better self-image among patients.
- While some temporary complications occurred, including nerve issues and drainage from pin sites, all resolved over time, demonstrating that the procedure generally had positive outcomes despite the potential for minor risks.
