Does a Submental Airway Compared to a Tracheostomy Reduce Length of Stay in Craniomaxillofacial Trauma?

Background: Patients with craniomaxillofacial trauma (CMT) are at increased risk of airway compromise and may necessitate airway stabilization via a tracheostomy (TO) or cricothyroidotomy. The submental airway (SMA) is an alternative airway and can avoid complications related to TO.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the SMA to the TO with respect to hospital length of stay (LOS) and number of days with an advanced airway, termed airway days (ADs).

Mandibular Fractures: Diagnosis and Management.

Accurate evaluation, diagnosis, and management of mandibular fractures is essential to effectively restore an individual's facial esthetics and function. Understanding of surgical anatomy, fracture fixation principles, and the nuances of specific fractures with respect to various patient populations can aid in adequately avoiding complications such as malocclusion, non-union, paresthesia, and revision procedures. This article reviews comprehensive mandibular fracture assessment, mandibular surgical anatomy, fracture fixation principles, management considerations, and commonly encountered complications.

Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty Using an Uncemented Metaphyseal Sleeve, Rotating Hinge Prosthesis: A Case Series of 99 Patients.

Background: Hinge knee replacement is a salvage procedure with historically high failure and complication rates. We aim to analyze the use of an uncemented metaphyseal sleeve revision knee replacement in our unit-a third-generation rotating hinge knee prosthesis. This is the largest reported series of this implant with longest follow up.

Glenohumeral Migration of Intraosseous Suture- Button after Acromioclavicular JointACJ Reconstruction - A Case Report.

Introduction: Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) separation is a common sports injury. Suture- button repair is favoured technique with a complication rate of 20%. We are the first to report the migration of a suture button into the glenohumeral joint.
