Comparison of two different proximal femoral nails in instabil intertrochanteric fractures concerning radiological parameters.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare two different nail types (i.e., Intertan (IT) and Talon Distal Fix Nail / Lag Screw (TDFN)) used in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in mobile patients over 65 years of age in terms of radiological parameters.

Shaver Suction Technique for Troubleshooting in Arthroscopic Double Foreign Body Removal From the Hip Joint.

Most arthroscopic techniques provide easy invasive access and subsequent inspection of the lateral segments of the hip joint. However, it is a challenge to visualize medial segments of the hip joint using arthroscopic techniques. Hip arthroscopy offers minimally invasive access to the hip joint as compared to the standard open arthrotomy procedure.

Management of a Multi-Level Forearm Microsurgical Reconstruction and the Following Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury.

Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a clinical syndrome characterized by acute respiratory distress following blood transfusion. This case-based technical report documents a case on the management of a multi-level forearm microsurgical reconstruction and the following TRALI syndrome that developed shortly after blood transfusion in a 29-year-old male. Multilevel microsurgical revascularization was performed via saphenous vein autograft arterial reconstruction from the proximal 1/3 ulnar artery to the ulnar side of the deep superficial palmar arterial arch.

Lateral foot pain due to os vesalianum pedis in a young football player; a case report and review of the current literature.

Os vesalianum pedis is a rare accessory ossicle located at the 5th metatarsal base. This anatomic variation is typically asymptomatic and usually detected incidentally on routine foot radiographs. However, it may be a source of lateral foot pain and rarely become symptomatic following traumatic ankle injuries such as an inversion ankle sprain.

Thenar Compartment Syndrome: What If a Compartment Pressure Measuring Device is Absent?

Compartment syndrome (CS) is a threatening condition characterized by excessive tissue pressure accumulation associated with acute trauma. Compartment syndrome causes a significant reduction in blood flow with subsequent muscle and nerve ischemic necrosis. Recently, reports have described the importance of intramuscular pressure measurements as a basis for CS diagnosis.
