Avascular necrosis predictive factors after closed reduction in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common pediatric orthopedic condition. Closed reduction (CR) is the conservative treatment approach with high success rates for DDH. However, avascular necrosis (AVN) is a severe potential complication after this procedure.

Complex Bilateral Posterior Hip Dislocation with a Long-term Follow-up-A Case Report.

Bilateral hip dislocations are among the rarest traumatic incidents. We report a case of a 45-year-old, opium-addicted man with bilateral posterior hip dislocation and bilateral femoral head fractures proximal to the fovea with more comminution on the left side. After an unsuccessful closed reduction attempt, surgical reduction and internal fixation of the left and right femoral heads were performed on admission and 72 hours later.

A study on the effect of radiographic angles on clubfoot's recurrence.

Clubfoot is one of the common orthopaedic deformities. However, regardless of its' treatment high success rate, recurrence of the deformity is a serious issue. The aim of this study is to evaluate if radiographic angles can be used for clubfoot recurrence prediction.

Surgical versus conservative management of distal radius fracture with coronal shift; a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Coronal shift is one of the most critical complications related to distal radius fracture (DRF), leading to instability in the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ). Nevertheless, there is no unified approach for the managing DRF with coronal shift; therefore, the current study aims to compare the surgical versus conservative approach for the coronal shift due to DRF treatment.

Methods: This is a randomized clinical trial conducted on 50 patients with distal radius fracture (type 1 based on Fernandez Classification of Distal Radius Fractures) with a coronal shift in 2014-17.

Can clubfoot scoring systems predict the number of casts and future recurrences in patients undergoing Ponseti method?

Background: Congenital clubfoot is one of the common congenital orthopaedic deformities. Pirani and Dimeglio scoring systems are two classification systems for measuring the severity of the clubfoot. However, the relation between the initial amount of each of these scores and the treatment parameters is controversial.

Intraoperative repair for iatrogenic MCL tear due to medial pie-crusting in TKA yields satisfactory mid-term outcomes.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the rate of iatrogenic mid-substance superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL) tear due to the medial pie-crusting technique during varus deformity total knee arthroplasty and compare the knee society score (KSS), range of motion (ROM), and instability rate of the repaired group to the control group with intact sMCL.

Methods: For this retrospective series of prospectively collected data, the multiple needle puncturing technique was performed for 653 out of the 1768 knees during algorithmic medial soft-tissue release. Iatrogenic tear was observed in 35 knees (5%); hence, repair with running locking nonabsorbable braided suture was performed.

A case of the long time presence of a large foreign body in esophagus without complication.

Dentures are common accidentally ingested foreign bodies (FBs), especially in the aged population. It is usual for a FB to be swallowed in adults and lodge in the esophagus; however, it is unusual for a denture to remain in esophagus for a period of 9 months without any complication. We present, a 57-year-old deaf mute man swallowed his denture with the chief complaint of dysphagia and odynophagia only after 9 months.

Cardiovascular manifestations of anabolic steroids in association with demographic variables in body building athletes.

Background: The most common drug abuse among athletes is anabolic steroids which lead to the development of cardiovascular diseases and sudden death. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate cardiovascular outcomes of anabolic consumption in body building athletes.

Materials And Methods: Totally, 267 male athletes at the range of 20-45 years old with the regular consumption of anabolic steroids for >2 months with at least once weekly.

Acute poisoning in children; a population study in isfahan, iran, 2008-2010.

Objective: Acute accidental poisoning in children is still an important public health problem. The epidemiological investigation specific for each country is necessary to determine the extent and characteristics of the problem. The aim of our study was to elucidate the current pattern of acute poisoning among children.
