Hepatic Artery Pseudoaneurysm: A Life-Threatening Complication of Liver Transplantation.

Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare but serious complication following liver transplantation. A 50-year-old male patient with ulcerative colitis, sclerosing cholangitis, and end-stage liver disease underwent right lobe transplantation from a living donor. The patient was hospitalized because of impairment in liver function tests and massive pretibial edema three months after surgery.

Axial plane coverage and torsion measurements in primary osteoarthritis of the hip with good frontal plane coverage and spherical femoral head.

Introduction: Mechanical factors play a role in pathogenesis of primary osteoarthritis of the hip. Torsion measures were made to detect whether there is a causal relationship between increase or decrease of femoral anteversion, acetabular anteversion, and osteoarthritis. There are no studies in the literature indicating a relationship between axial plane coverage and osteoarthritis of the hip.

Is there a relation between hip torsion, coverage and osteoarthritis of the knee?

Purpose: Biomechanic factors play a role in the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis. The aim of the study was to find out whether there is a relation between femoral, acetabular anteversions, anterior, posterior acetabular coverages and primary osteoarthritis of the knee.

Methods: Thirty patients with primary osteoarthritis of the knee and 29 control subjects were enrolled into the study.

Residual axial plane deformities after hip reconstruction for developmental dysplasia of the hip after walking age.

Children with developmental dysplasia of the hip after walking age can be treated with one-stage combined operations. In these procedures, complex deformity corrections at both frontal and axial planes are performed in the guidance of intraoperative stability tests. The reports about the results of these procedures focus on frontal plane assessments but neglect to assess axial plane corrections.

[The results of intramedullary fixation with titanium elastic nails in children with femoral fractures].

Objectives: We evaluated clinical and radiologic results of intramedullary fixation with titanium elastic nails (TEN) in children with femoral fractures.

Methods: The study included 35 femoral fractures of 34 patients (20 boys, 14 girls; mean age 8.3 years; range 5 to 14 years) who were treated by intramedullary fixation with TEN.

[Evaluation of rhinorrhea by computed tomography cisternography].

Purpose: We aimed to emphasize the indication for and importance of CT cisternography in the diagnosis of rhinorrhea patients by reviewing the literature with the support of unenhanced cranial CT findings.

Materials And Methods: Unenhanced cranial CT with axial sections and CT cisternography with coronal sections were performed in 14 patients who had spontaneous (n = 3) and posttraumatic (n = 11), intermittent or continuous CSF rhinorrhea. The slice thickness of infratentorial planes was 5 mm and supratentorial planes 10 mm.
