Chin Reduction Made Simpler.

Deformities of the chin, including both macrogenia or microgenia, can alter facial aesthetics and harmony. Various reliable approaches to correct chin abnormalities are present. Nonetheless, in this article, we propose our surgical approach to reduce the chin with a 5-mm cutting burr, without the need for osteotomy.

Representation of women in orthopaedic surgery: perception of barriers among undergraduate medical students in Saudi Arabia.

Background: While female participation has improved in several surgical specialties over time globally, no such increase has been observed in orthopaedic surgery over the past decades. The potential barriers to female participation are likely present from the beginning of medical education. Therefore, this study assessed the apparent lag in equal representation among men and women in orthopaedic surgery in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Factors Influencing Sports Medicine as a Career Choice Among Orthopaedic Trainees in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Sports medicine is one of the most popular orthopaedic specialties, with more fellowship applicants than in any other subspecialty of orthopaedics.

Purpose: To investigate the factors influencing orthopaedic trainees to complete their fellowships and subsequently subspecialize in sports medicine in Saudi Arabia, as well as to compare the motivational factors of trainees planning to pursue sports medicine versus other orthopaedic specialties.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.

Management of a Femur Shaft Fracture With Nancy Nail in the Setting of Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa: A Case Report.

Management of bone fractures must achieve both reduction and stability. However, dermatological conditions such as dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa can lead to catastrophic events when operating on the patient's bone fracture, possibly leading to wound infections and fracture nonunion. Here, we report the case of a 20-year-old female with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa who had suffered from a femur fracture after a fall from the bed.

Outcomes of Woodward's Procedure for Sprengel's Shoulder Using Neurophysiological Monitoring of the Brachial Plexus Without Clavicular Osteotomy: A Retrospective Study.

Introduction For Sprengel deformity, a variety of operations are available, with Woodward's procedure being a favorable option with good outcomes. This study aims to assess the outcomes of Woodward's procedure with brachial plexus monitoring to prevent the possible complications of nerve injury and consequent deficits. Methods In our study, we included 18 patients with Sprengel deformity treated with Woodward's procedure using intraoperative neuromonitoring for the brachial plexus from 2013 to 2019 at our institute.

Sprengel's Deformity With Congenital Scoliosis Successfully Treated With Combined Posterior Spinal Instrumented Fusion and Modified Woodward's Procedure in a 14-Year-Old Patient With MURCS Association.

Müllerian duct aplasia-renal agenesis-cervicothoracic somite dysplasia (MURCS) association is a rare syndrome. This unique condition consists of Müllerian duct aplasia, cervicothoracic somite dysplasia, and renal aplasia, and skeletal abnormalities manifesting in childhood. We report the case of a 14-year-old girl who presented to the orthopedic clinic with spinal deformity and Sprengel's shoulder complicated by a background of MURCS association.
