Outcomes of the Treatment of Humeral Shaft Fractures by Closed Reduction and Internal Fixation With Multiple Intramedullary Kirschner Wires (K-wires).

Background Humeral shaft fractures are common orthopedic injuries, and their treatment options vary based on fracture characteristics. One surgical method involves closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) with multiple intramedullary (IM) Kirschner wires (K-wires), which remains less explored, especially in adults. This study aims to investigate the outcomes of the treatment of humeral shaft fractures by closed reduction and internal fixation with multiple flexible intramedullary K-wires.

Aggressive L3 vertebral hemangioma coexisting with adult thoracolumbar scoliosis: Case report.

Vertebral hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that are commonly asymptomatic. A low percentage might become aggressive; however, they are not known to be associated with scoliosis. We present a case of a third lumbar vertebral lesion coexisting with a moderate thoracolumbar scoliosis.

Clinical Assessment of the Congenital Absence of Palmaris Longus and Flexor Digitorum Superficialis Muscles in Young Saudi Population.

Congenital Palmaris Longus (PL) absence was found in 15%-20.25% of population globally. This condition and Flexor Digitorum Superficialis (FDS) tendon absence in little finger are not known in Saudi Arabia.

A biomechanical study of pediatric flexor profundus tendon repair. Comparing the tensile strengths of 3 suture techniques.

Objectives: To investigate the tensile strength of repaired flexor profundus tendons in young lambs, which would be equivalent to repairs in children older than 2 years of age.

Methods: A comparative in-vitro experimental study conducted at King Saud University, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from October 2014 to December 2015. We utilized 30 flexor profundus tendons of young lambs with a width of 4 mm.

A delayed foreign body granuloma associated with polypropylene sutures used in tendon transfer. A case report.

Introduction: A delayed foreign body reaction to polypropylene sutures has not been previously reported following tendon repair.

Presentation Of Case: A 12-year old boy underwent tendon transfer. Tendon repair was done using polypropylene sutures.
