Juniper Publishers-Internal Neurolysis and Grafting of the Superficial Peroneal Nerve in the Treatment of Nerve Injury due to Compression using Avance® Nerve Graft

Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Orthopedics & Rheumatology



Authored by Edgardo R Rodriguez Collazo

Peripheral entrapment neuropathy in the lower extremity is caused by some anatomical configuration constricting the nerve, or in the case of trauma, some anatomical disposition rendering the nerve in an inflammatory state. In cases of multiple reconstructive surgeries of the lower extremity, scar tissue develops along the course of surgical incisions that can eventually impede on the normal function of surrounding nerve. The nerves affected can cause intractable pain that is unresponsive to conservative treatments. Surgeons may choose to perform surgical decompression with an external and or internal neurolysis.

Hip Replacement Surgery: "Part of the Problem or Part of the Solution" Authored by M E Hecht Suppose you’ve just been told you need hip surgery, have a cardiac condition, or you’ve developed diabetes.

But you’ve just been told your body has betrayed you. What’s more, if you’re a card player you could say at this point, that you’re the doctor holds cards, spades, and big Casino. In short, it can be a moment of inequality second to none. How...

Juniper Publishers-Physeal Injuries are Special

Image
Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Orthopedics & Rheumatology Physeal Injuries are Special Authored by Waleed Kishta Secondary ossification centers for the epiphysis and apophysis evolve through different stages until complete fusion. This evolution leads to variations in fracture patterns and based on mechanism and anatomical location. This is important as roughly 15% of all children fractures involve a physeal injury [1]. In this review, we will briefly touch on the mechanism, pathophysiology, diagnosis, investigations and management of physeal injuries related to secondary ossification. Three stages of secondary ossification, including: pre-ossification, pre-fusion, and incomplete fusion selected. Apophyseal injuries represent a special subset as their injury can fall into several categories based on stage of development.

Juniper Publishers - Fractures of the Proximal Third Tibia Treated With Intramedullary Interlocking Nails and Blocking Screws

Image
  Orthopedics and Rheumatology Open Access Journal Abstract Background: Internal splint age of proximal metaphyseal tibial fractures has gained acceptance as a method of early stabilization of such injuries. Intramedullary nailing is a challenging procedure .This study tries to evaluate treatment outcomes of closed reduction and intramedullary nailing with the aid of blocking screws to maintain the reduction and stabilize theses injuries. Patients and Method: Thirty patients (23 males and 7 females) with proximal metaphyseal tibial fractures were treated and followed from June 2010 and February 2014 (44 months) with average 19 months. Age ranged between 23 to 55 years (average, 38 years). According to A.O. Classification 13 cases were Type A 2.1, 9 cases were Type A 2.1 (II), and 8 cases were Type A 3.2. Seven cases were open fractures and according to Gustilo Anderson classification 4 cases were Grade (I), 3cases were Grade (II). All cases were treated by in...
