Iatrogenic contralateral foraminal stenosis following lumbar spine fusion surgery: illustrative cases.

Background: Lumbar spine fusion is the mainstay treatment for degenerative spine disease. Multiple potential complications of spinal fusion have been found. Acute contralateral radiculopathy postoperatively has been reported in previous literature, with unclear underlying pathology.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders among Saudi orthopedic surgeons: a cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Studies have addressed the issue of increasing prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal (MSK) pain among different occupations. However, contributing factors to MSK pain have not been fully investigated among orthopaedic surgeons. Thus, this study aimed to approximate the prevalence and predictors of MSK pain among Saudi orthopaedic surgeons working in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Long-term follow-up of bilateral hip and knee arthroplasty secondary to ochronotic arthropathy.

Alkaptonuria is a rare metabolic disorder caused by the deficiency of homogentisic acid oxidase enzyme, which is responsible for eliminating homogentisic acid from the body through the renal system. Excessive accumulation of homogentisic acid leads to ochronosis and ochronotic arthritis. Owing to the rarity of the disease, long-term functional outcomes of joint replacements of the hips and knees in ochronosis arthropathy are unconfirmed, and only a limited number of case reports are available on this.

One-Year Mortality Rates Following Fracture of the Femoral Neck Treated With Hip Arthroplasty in an Aging Saudi Population: A Trauma Center Experience.

Introduction: Femoral neck fracture is a common problem in elderly patients, and it is managed with either total hip arthroplasty or hemiarthroplasty with very good outcomes. However, the reported 1-year mortality rate is as high as 33%.

Material And Methods: This study was a retrospective cohort study.

Surgical treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: Complications.

Despite the fact that spinal surgeries for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) result in good outcomes for most patients, they are not without complications either medically or surgically. Neurologic injury represents the most severe complication and is, as such, the most feared. Further complications include dural tears, peripheral neuropathy, surgical-site infections, implant-related issues, thromboembolic events, visual loss, pseudarthrosis, Crankshaft phenomenon, flatback phenomenon, proximal junctional kyphosis, and mortality.

Anthropometric Breast Measurement: Analysis of the Average Breast in Young Nulliparous Saudi Female Population.

Unlabelled: Anthropometric measurements and proportions of the female body play a significant role in plastic and reconstructive surgery. This study is aimed to identify the descriptive measurements of the breast in a sample population of young nulliparous Saudi women.

Methods: Fifty-four nulliparous Saudi women of 20-25 years old, with no physical or developmental deformity, and body mass index (BMI) of 20-25 kg/m were recruited.
