Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Nephrotic Syndrome: Our Experience and Literature Review.

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is one of the common presentations of kidney diseases both in children and adults. NS patients, particularly those with membranous nephropathy, have increased risk of thromboembolic events. Heparin and vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) continue to be commonly used as prophylactic and therapeutic agents, given the experience of use of these agents in NS and nonrenal indications of anticoagulation.

All Arthroscopic Salvage Technique for Intraoperative Vertical Split Coracoid Graft Fracture in Latarjet Procedure-Technical Note.

Intraoperative vertical coracoid graft fractures during the Latarjet procedure are well-described complications, which typically have a poor prognosis or may necessitate further iliac crest bone grafting for stabilization. The vertical split coracoid fractures are reasoned to be caused by excessive tightening of the screws, poor bone quality, especially in females and the smaller dimension of the coracoid graft. In this technical note, we propose an arthroscopic salvage technique for salvaging the fractured coracoid graft and to avoid the need for additional bone graft, thereby reducing morbidity to the patient.

Arthroscopic Salvage Procedure for Iatrogenic Conjoint Tendon Avulsion Fracture Following Arthroscopic Latarjet Procedure Using Double Sling Fixation Technique - A Case Report.

Introduction: We present a case report of an iatrogenic conjoint tendon avulsion fracture following arthroscopic Latarjet and salvage technique to address the complication with a novel double sling technique.

Case Report: A 16-year-old male patient who presented with recurrent instability of the right shoulder was counseled for an arthroscopic Latarjet procedure, taking account of critical glenoid bone loss and his contact sporting activities. An intraoperative coracoid tip fracture occurred, which was managed with the double sling technique.

Dynamic Anterior Stabilization Using Transosseous Bone Tunnel Technique With the Adjustable Loop Length Cortical Button Incorporating High-Strength Suture Augmentation for Recurrent Shoulder Instability.

Dynamic anterior stabilization using the long head of the biceps tendon is a recently described technique in the management of recurrent shoulder dislocation with subcritical bone loss. This technique involves the transfer of the long head of the biceps to the glenoid, providing sling and hammock effect. The long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon fixation can be accomplished with a variety of implants.

Trans-cuff portals heal by 6 weeks: an ultrasonography-based study.

Background: Various arthroscopic portals have been described for repair of superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) lesions. The difficulty in doing repair through the rotator interval and the problems in direction and placement of anchors still persist. Functional outcomes of the patients after treating them using trans-cuff portal are well established in literature, but the actual healing of the portal is not clear.
