Background: Various minimally invasive surgeries were proposed for the management of herniated lumbar intervertebral disc. However, to choose optimal treatment modality to maximize patient benefit is a clinical challenge for the treatment givers.
Objective: The objective was to study the role of ozone disc nucleolysis in the management of herniated lumbar intervertebral disc by retrospective analysis.
Background: Inherent complications associated with surgery and limited success of percutaneous minimally invasive procedures make researches wanting for an ideal treatment for cervical disc herniation.
Objective: We prospectively study the role of ozone disc nucleolysis in cervical intervertebral disc herniation.
Patients And Methods: From January 2008 to December 2020, we prospectively study 246 consecutive patients of cervical disc herniation treated by a single session of intradiscal injection of ozone-oxygen mixture (ozone disc nucleolysis).
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) in medial unicompartmental osteoarthritis (MCOA) of knee and to compare between the two methods of osteotomy using either dynamic axial fixator (DAF) or locking compression plate (LCP).
Methods: A total of 20 patients with medial osteoarthritis of knee were enrolled in this prospective study who were divided into two groups of 10 each. First group comprising of two males and eight females were treated by HTO using DAF.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a rare case of anterior elbow dislocation in a 22-year-old male who experienced the injury after a seizure fall, highlighting its infrequency compared to posterior dislocations.
- The patient showed significant symptoms like pain, tenderness, and deformity, with radiological tests revealing both the dislocation and an unhealed fracture of the medial epicondyle.
- Successful treatment involved a reduction of the dislocation under general anesthesia, emphasizing the importance of quick diagnosis and intervention for optimal recovery of elbow function.
Article Synopsis
- * A case study involves a 35-year-old woman with symptoms including pain, swelling, and reduced knee movement; radiographs confirmed the diagnosis by showing irregular cortical hyperostosis.
- * Current treatments focus on symptom relief, with options like pamidronate and physiotherapy, but there is no definitive cure for the condition.
