Judet type-IV fracture of the proximal end of the radius in a 7-year-old child. A surgical case report of open reduction and percutaneous pinning.

Introduction: Fractures of the proximal end of the radius are rare and account for 1 % of all childhood fractures. The treatment of the proximal end of the radius in children depends on age, the degree of angular displacement, and the presence of additional injuries.

Case Presentation: This is a case of a 7-year-old child with a 90-degree angular displaced radial neck Judet type-IV fracture treated with open reduction and intramedullary stabilization with Kirschner wire.

Is analog preoperative planning still applicable?-comparison of accuracy of analog and computer preoperative planning methods in total hip arthroplasty.

Background: Preoperative planning is an integral part of total hip arthroplasty and has a significant impact on surgical technique and clinical outcome. The variety of types and sizes of endoprosthesis components makes the procedure more demanding and generates a need for accurate preoperative planning. The objective of this study was to analyze an analog method of preoperative planning of primary total hip arthroplasty based on templates overlaying on preoperative radiograms and compare its accuracy for predicting the size, both the stem and cup, with computer planning methods.

Treatment of Massive Giant Cell Tumor of Bone of the Proximal Radius. Case Study.

This paper presents a case of a massive giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB), Campanacci and Enneking type III, in an atypical location at the proximal end of the radius. In type I and II cases, surgical treatment is the treat-ment of choice: curettage of the lesion, replacement of bone defects with bone grafts or cement. Advanced type III changes frequently require segmental resection and joint reconstruction.

[Possibilities of orthopaedic treatment of patients with renal failure and its meaning in the continuation of haemodialysis and quality of life improvement].

Good cooperation between the fields of orthopaedic surgery and nephrology creates a possibility of multidirectional surgical treatment of the patients with terminal renal failure despite massive general burden and existing risk. Taking a very difficult decision concerning the multidirectional surgical treatment of these patients may to a very great extent improve their locomotor functions and their life comfort. An example of such a situation is the described case of elbow replacement, vascular surgery procedure, total hip replacement and carpal tunnel release surgery.

Cost analysis and sociomedical aspects of the conservative and surgical treatment of hip osteoarthritis.

Introduction: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common causes of pain, physical disability and marked impairment of patients' physical fitness and mobility. Insufficient funding for health care contributes to prolonged waiting times for total hip replacement (THR) surgery, which has been proven to be the only effective treatment for OA. Average waiting time in Poland is estimated at 2-2.
