Clinical application of the anterior pelvic wall locking plate (APWLP) in acetabular fractures involving the quadrilateral surface.

Background: The management of acetabular quadrilateral surface fractures remains challenging for surgeons, and the treatment options for such fractures remain controversial. Quadrilateral surface surgery is a complex procedure involving combined approaches, and the quality of fracture reduction closely depends upon the surgical procedure, as well as the skill and experience of the surgeon. This study aimed to explore the clinical effects of applying an anterior pelvic wall locking plate (APWLP) through the lateral-rectus approach for treating acetabular fractures involving the quadrilateral surface.

Transpedicle osteotomy positioning in pedicle-lengthening laminoplasty.

Pedicle-lengthening laminoplasty is a new minimally invasive technique for surgical treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis. The procedure is performed with the assistance of fluoroscopy and involves creating a pedicle passage, transpedicle osteotomy from inside the pedicle passage and lengthening it by using an implant bilaterally to enlarge the spinal canal and neural foramen. A critical component of the procedure is the precise determination of the osteotomy site on the pedicle.

Simultaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture in a patient with hyperparathyroidism undergoing long-term haemodialysis: a case report and literature review.

Simultaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture is a rare injury that represents < 5% of all quadriceps tendon ruptures. It is generally associated with chronic metabolic disorders and is seen in patients with uraemia undergoing maintenance haemodialysis. The present case was a 46-year-old man who presented with pain and the inability to extend his knees following a minor accident.
