Intercondylar T-Type Distal Humerus Fracture in a 10-Year-Old: A Case Report.

Case: A 10-year-old, postmenarchal girl presented to the emergency department with a closed, displaced, intercondylar T-type distal humerus fracture. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed 3 days following initial presentation. The patient healed but experienced elbow stiffness in the 7 months following the procedure.

Evaluating the Quality, Readability, and Activity of Online Information on Brain Arteriovenous Malformations.

Introduction Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are vascular deformities created by improper connections between arteries and veins, most commonly in the brain and spinal cord. The management is complex and patient-dependent; further understanding of patient education activities is imperative. Internet access has become more ubiquitous, allowing patients to utilize a large database of medical information online.

Simplified soft tissue coverage of the distal lower extremity: The reverse sural flap.

Soft tissue defects involving the distal lower extremity present challenging problems for orthopaedic surgeons to manage. Historically, wounds not amenable to primary closure have necessitated assistance from multidisciplinary teams using plastic surgeons to obtain adequate soft tissue coverage through rotational flap or free tissue transfer procedures. Techniques related to soft tissue rearrangement and local rotational flap coverage have advanced over the years with a growing knowledge of local anatomy and vasculature.

Influence of Patient-Specific Characteristics on Transcatheter Heart Valve Neo-Sinus Flow: An In Silico Study.

Thrombosis in post-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) patients has been correlated with flow stasis in the neo-sinus. This study investigated the effect of the post-TAVR geometry on flow stasis. Computed tomography angiography of 155 patients who underwent TAVR using a SAPIEN 3 were used to identify patients with and without thrombosis, and quantify thrombus volumes.
