All-Inside Arthroscopic Repair For Longitudinal Meniscal Tears: Clinical and Functional Results.

Meniscal injuries are a common challenge in orthopaedic surgery. Depending on their location and the patient's age and functional needs, they can be treated either conservatively or surgically. A surgical approach can consist of arthroscopic meniscectomy or meniscal suture.

Synthetic Bone Grafting in Aseptic Loosening of Acetabular Cup: Good Clinical and Radiological Outcomes in Contained Bone Defects at Medium-Term Follow Up.

Restoring bone loss is one of the major challenges when facing hip revision surgery. To eliminate the risk of disease transmission and antigenicity of allografts and donor-morbidity of autografts, the use of synthetic bioceramics has become popular in the last decade. Our study investigated the effectiveness of impaction bone grafting (IBG) of contained acetabular defects (Paprosky 2 and 3a) using a porous ceramic-based hydroxyapatite bone substitute (Engipore, provided by Finceramica Faenza S.

Water quality and solute sources in the Marsyangdi River system of Higher Himalayan range (West-Central Nepal).

Surface waters, cold and hot springs were collected in different catchments along the Marsyangdi basin, in the Himalayan Range of West-Central Nepal, during the post-monsoon season in 2017 and analyzed for major ions and trace elements, with the aim of assessing the sources of dissolved species and to contribute in watershed planning. The major element data indicate that surface waters coming from the Tethyan Himalayan Sequence (THS) range from the Ca-Mg-HCO to the Ca-Mg-HCO-SO water-types and reflect a two-component mixing of waters from carbonate- and sulfate-bearing sources. The latter component is attributable to sulfide oxidation with minor silicate weathering.

Reconstruction and rehabilitation of severe mandibular atrophy using distraction osteogenesis technique: a case report.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to describe a rehabilitation technique for patients with severe anterior atrophy using a combination of distraction osteogenesis and implants to support fixed or removable prostheses.

Materials And Methods: The surgical technique involves the use of an extraosseous distraction device followed by more than 14 mm of distraction of the mandibular symphysis.

Results: The patient was successfully treated by the application of 4 implants in the region of the mandibular symphysis, stabilized by an Ackerman bar, and a removable prosthesis.
