Reproducibility of pop sensation, Thompson sign in achillotomy, and final Pirani score to predict clubfoot relapse: Achillotomy clinical signs and Pirani predictive ability.

Ultrasound (US) can guide and confirm percutaneous release of the achilles tendon in the clubfoot. However, this technique may not always be available; therefore, surgeons' reported feelings of tendon release ("click" or "pop") and the Thompson sign could demonstrate that they are sensitive and reliable for confirming complete tendon release. The purpose of this study was to compare the reproducibility of clinical maneuvers that aim to detect the reported "click" or "pop" sensation by the surgeon and the Thompson sign after surgical release in percutaneous achilles tenotomy compare with US in patients with clubfoot.

Easy and Safe Clamping of the Internal Jugular Vein and Internal Carotid Artery for End-to-Side Anastomosis in the Vessel-Depleted Neck.

Background: Damage to the vascular system resulting from radiotherapy and previous surgeries in patients with recurrent neck tumors has a negative impact on secondary reconstructions. In this study, we describe a simple method for occlusion of the great vessels of the neck in patients with difficult access to recipient vessels for anastomosis.

Methods: A 1 or 0 gauge silk ligature is placed at a circumference of 540 degrees around the vessel, holding the base of the suture with a fine hemostatic clamp exerting sufficient pressure to stop the blood flow in the vessel (internal carotid artery or internal jugular vein), to prepare the end-to-side anastomosis to the flap.

Protective effect of nitroglycerin ointment and dimethyl sulfoxide on necrosis of skin flaps in rats.

Objective: To compare the protective effect of nitroglycerin ointment 2% and Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in dorsal flaps of the rat.

Methods: A blind, experimental study was conducted in 24 male Wistar rats, with a mean weight of 320 (286-376) grams. Group 1: Control.

Closed reduction evaluation in dysplastic hip with the Ömeroğlu system in children aged 24 to 36 months.

Closed reduction (CR) as an initial treatment for developmental hip dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in children aged 24 to 36 months is debatable; however, it could have better results than open reduction (OR) or osteotomies, because it is minimally invasive. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiological results in children (24-36 months) with DDH initially treated with CR. Initial, subsequent, final anteroposterior pelvic radiological records were retrospectively analyzed.

Postaxial hypoplasia of the lower extremity associated with congenital dislocation of the patella: A case report.

Rationale: Evaluation of clinical and radiologic abnormalities in patients with postaxial hypoplasia of the lower extremity (PHLE) for treatment decisions represents a major challenge, which is more complicated when PHLE is associated with congenital dislocation of the patella.

Patient Concerns: : Herein, we present the case of an 8-year-old female patient with evident length inequality in her left lower extremity and inability to walk.

Diagnoses: Radiological evaluation revealed PHLE with fibular hemimelia, proximal femoral focal deficiency, tarsal coalition, and congenital patellar dislocation of the patella.
