"The Skiver Screw": A Useful Fixation Technique for Iliac Wing Fractures.

J Orthop Trauma

*Regions Hospital, University of Minnesota, Saint Paul, MN; and †Avon Orthopedic Centre, North Bristol NHS Trust, Bristol, United Kingdom.

Published: July 2015

The contour of the ilium is curved and the iliac fossa is thin, making adequate fixation for fractures involving the iliac wing challenging to achieve at times. The purpose of this article is to describe a previously unreported technique for enhancing fixation in iliac fractures using simple cortical screws.

Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) screening relies on accurate positioning in the ventrodorsal hip extended (VDHE) view, as even mild pelvic rotation can affect CHD scoring and impact breeding decisions. This study aimed to assess the association between pelvic rotation and asymmetry in obturator foramina areas (AOFAs) and to develop a computer vision model for automated AOFA measurement. In the first part, 203 radiographs were analyzed to examine the relationship between pelvic rotation, assessed through asymmetry in iliac wing and obturator foramina widths (AOFWs), and AOFAs.

Dysregulated FGF23 production is a demonstrated cause of hypophosphatemia and osteomalacia. Diseases associated with these conditions include phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) causing tumor induced osteomalacia, various forms of rickets, and fibrous dysplasia (FD). Coexistence of 2 conditions that can increase FGF23 concentrations is rare.

Background: Continuous compression implants (CCIs) can provide continuous compression across a fracture site. They are mainly used in foot/ankle surgery, with very limited descriptions in the literature of their potential for trauma. The aim of this study was to describe the use and associated outcomes of CCIs in modern day trauma practice.

Department of Orthopedics, Orthopedic Research Institute, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China. Electronic address:

Purpose: this study focused on the mixed-type deformities of acetabular retroversion (AR) and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) deformity and aimed to ascertain the changes in pelvic tilt from a supine to a standing position in these cases and identify potential underlying mechanisms.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on cases with symptomatic DDH from January 1, 2019, to April 30, 2023. DDH was defined as lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) <20°.

Complications of Deep Venous Stenting and Their Management.

December 2024

Complications after iliofemoral and inferior vena cava stenting are rare, and most can be managed effectively without significant long-term consequences for the patient. Nevertheless, the procedure is not without risk, and clinicians considering starting a venous practice must be aware of the range of complications that can occur, which range from minor access site bleeds to fatal arrhythmia from stent migration to the heart. Most complications can be avoided with appropriate patient selection, stent sizing, and careful access and deployment techniques.
