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.

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.

Survival at 30 days in elderly patients with hip fracture surgery who were exposed to hypothermia: Survival study.

The effect of hypothermia as a mortality risk factor at 30 days in the elderly who had hip fracture (HF) surgery is still controversial because it may be due to a set of poorly identified factors. In this study, we aim to determine if exposure to intra and immediate postoperative hypothermia increases the incidence of mortality at 30 days in elderly patients who had HF surgery.Survival study in the elderly who had HF surgery with and without exposure to hypothermia.

[Risk factors associated with trigger finger. Case-control study].

Objective: We undertook this study to identify risk factors in our population associated with trigger finger. The study was conducted at the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, UMAE 21, Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.

Methods: This was a case-control, retrospective, and observational study.

[Adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder as a histopathological finding after cholecystectomy].

Objective: We wanted to determine the incidence in our population of gallbladder adenocarcinoma based on a histopathologic study done after cholecystectomy in patients with a diagnosis of gallstones.

Material And Methods: We made a census-type study during the last 3 years that included a total of 4548 gallbladders. Histopathologic results were analyzed and recollected in an established format.
