To study influence of transosseous distraction cranio-osteosynthesis on functional state of neuromotor system at patients with hemispheric stroke consequences, severe craniocerebral trauma analyzed dynamics of electroneuromyography index--cerebrospinal index, obtained by testing of extremities muscles at 28 persons in residual disease period. Data analysis obtained in control period testify to positive cerebrospinal index dynamics is maximum evident in long-term post-operative period and on leads from upper paretic limb. Thus, electrophysiologically identified increase of motor control efficacy of paretic limbs muscles at patients with cerebral alteration consequences in treatment by transosseous distraction cranio-osteosynthesis.

Background: Nonoperative management is an appealing option for purely transosseous thoracolumbar flexion-distraction injuries given the prospects of osseous healing and restoration of the posterior tension band complex. This study seeks to examine differences in outcomes following flexion-distraction injuries after operative and nonoperative management.
Methods: This study reviews all patients at a single Level 1 trauma center from 2004 to 2022 with AO Spine B1 thoracolumbar injuries treated operatively vs nonoperatively.

Aims: The ovine stifle is an established model for evaluation of knee treatments, such as meniscus replacement. This study introduces a novel ovine gait simulator for pre-testing of surgical treatments prior to animal trials. Furthermore, we describe a pilot study that assessed gait kinematics and contact pressures of native ovine stifle joints and those implanted with a novel fiber-matrix reinforced polyvinyl alcohol-polyethylene glycol (PVA-PEG) hydrogel meniscus to illustrate the efficacy of the simulator.

Background: Transosseous distraction osteosynthesis is prioritized in orthopedic care for children with achondroplasia. However, difficulties encountered during treatment and rehabilitation directly impact patients' quality of life. Using rod external fixators within a semicircular frame for osteosynthesis is less traumatic compared to spoke circular devices.

There are many techniques for the treatment of chronic scapholunate dissociation. The three-ligament tenodesis (3LT) is used most widely, but reconstruction of the dorsal ligament alone may not provide sufficient stability. The Mark-Henry technique (MHT) compensates for the insufficient stability of 3LT by additional reconstruction of the volar ligament, but the procedure is complex.

Background: Multiple techniques for the repair of flexor tendon injuries in zone 1 have been proposed over time. While pull-out suture techniques and bone anchor seem to be stronger than internal suture techniques, they are associated with a higher complication rate. We therefore developed an alternative internal suture repair with similar biomechanical stability to those of pull-out sutures and bone anchors.
