The authors describe an own method of surgical treatment of nosebleed caused by Rendu-Osler-Weber's disease. For closure of nasal septal defects we used free graft of fascia lata. In five patients treated by our method, the transplantation ended successful; during the several weeks after operations the fascia lata was covered with epithelium growing from the surrounding tissues. Control examinations did not demonstrate recurrences. In two patients our method was unsuccessful.

Background And Objectives: A typical workflow for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery consists of head frame placement, followed by stereotactic computed tomography (CT) or MRI before surgical implantation of the hardware. At some institutions, this workflow is prolonged when the imaging scanner is located far away from the operating room, thereby increasing workflow times by the addition of transport times. Recently, the intraoperative O-arm has been shown to provide accurate image fusion with preoperative CT or MR imaging, suggesting the possibility of obtaining an intraoperative localization scan and postoperative confirmation.

Background And Objectives: Accurate intraoperative assessment of coronal alignment is critical to achieving favorable clinical outcomes in adult spinal deformity surgery. However, surgical positioning creates challenges in predicting standing coronal alignment. Gravity-based plumblines require an upright posture and are not possible intraoperatively.

Case: A 30-year-old man presented with left proximal tibia fracture (open Grade 3A) and a transverse lateral malleolus fracture (Weber B) following direct impact injury. Computed tomography revealed a rare posteromedial tubercle fibula fracture at the posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL) insertion, with syndesmosis disruption. Initial damage control included an external fixator.

Case: Thirty-five-year-old man presented with 14 cm segmental tibial defect after crush injury (Gustilo Anderson type-IIIA). Tetrafocal bone transport using Ilizarov frame was performed with 3 osteotomies. Two minor complications-skin invagination and failure at proximal docking site-were addressed.

Case: A 48-year-old man with multiple injuries sustained a Gustilo type 3A right open distal humerus fracture with a 4-cm wound, contralateral radius shaft, and ilium fractures. Following wound irrigation on the day of injury, second look debridement showed crushed triceps and severe contamination extending into the distal humerus medullary canal. After 6 days of initial plate fixation, he developed signs of deep infection.
