Management of a Huge Arteriovenous Malformation of the Tongue with the Submandibular Gland Flap: A Case Report.

AVMs commonly manifest in childhood or adolescence, and can occur at any area of the body. The management could be conservative or surgical. Surgical excision of a tongue AVM requires adequate reconstruction and Submandibular gland proves to be an excellent modality for the same.

A comparison of the outcomes following intra-articular steroid injection alone or arthrocentesis alone in the management of internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint.

Context: One of the main causes of chronic facial pain is temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) which may turn out to be a major cause for disability. The two types of treatment strategies may be undertaken to counter temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, namely conservative management and surgical intervention. Surgical management can be classified into invasive open methods and minimally invasive procedures such as arthrocentesis, intra-articular steroid injection, and arthroscopy.

Surgical complications in neuromuscular scoliosis operated with posterior- only approach using pedicle screw fixation.

Background: There are no reports describing complications with posterior spinal fusion (PSF) with segmental spinal instrumentation (SSI) using pedicle screw fixation in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis.

Methods: Fifty neuromuscular patients (18 cerebral palsy, 18 Duchenne muscular dystrophy, 8 spinal muscular atrophy and 6 others) were divided in two groups according to severity of curves; group I (< 90 degrees ) and group II (> 90 degrees ). All underwent PSF and SSI with pedicle screw fixation.

Leg lengthening by distraction osteogenesis using the Ilizarov apparatus: a novel concept of tibia callus subsidence and its influencing factors.

This article studies the incidence and magnitude of delayed callus subsidence, which will also help in study the hypothesis of three cortex corticalisation to determine the time of fixator removal during distraction osteogenesis (DO). Eighty-one tibia segments with mean lengthening of 7.7 +/- 2.
