The value of dynamic MRI in cervical spondylotic myelopathy: About 24 cases.

Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine is extremely useful in assessing pathological changes at the spinal cord, vertebrae, discs, ligaments and facet joints. We attempted to document the radiological changes that the cervical spine undergoes during dynamic maneuvers and the effects of Dynamic MRI in management of cervical myelopathy, emphasizing on the changes in treatment protocol effected by the new findings discovered. Our work is based on 24 consecutive patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy had cervical MR imaging in neutral position, in flexion and extension of the cervical spine between January 2021 and December 2021.

Obstruction of ventriculoperitoneal shunt by air bubble: A case report.

Complications related to Ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement are common, and multiple. Among them blockage and infection. We report a case of 44 years old man admitted to our hospital after an obstruction of his ventriculo-peritoneal shunt by an air bubble that caused behavioral problems and confusion.

Metaphyseal Sleeve Failure in Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Introduction A significant percentage of patients require re-revision surgery regardless of the demonstrated durable short- and mid-term clinical results using metaphyseal sleeves in revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study was to identify the association between sleeve alignment and contact zones, with loosening in patients with revision TKA. Materials & Methods Of a series of 103 patients who underwent revision TKA, at a mean follow-up of eight years, six patients were re-revised for tibial loosening.

Correlation of quality of life with instrumented analysis of a total knee arthroplasty series at the long-term follow-up.

Purpose: The relationship between instrumented knee measurements and patient-reported outcome measures is a newer field that continues to evolve. The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term quality of life (QoL) post-total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery correlating validated self-reported questionnaires, clinical examination and instrumented analysis, using baropodometry and accelerometry.

Methods: Thirty-six patients who underwent primary unilateral TKA between 1999 and 2006 were evaluated at 11.

The Oswestry-Bristol Classification.

Aims: Trochlear dysplasia is a significant risk factor for patellofemoral instability. The Dejour classification is currently considered the standard for classifying trochlear dysplasia, but numerous studies have reported poor reliability on both plain radiography and MRI. The severity of trochlear dysplasia is important to establish in order to guide surgical management.
