Innovative trident fixation technique for allograft knee arthrodesis for high-grade osteosarcoma around the knee.

20 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: Reconstruction for osteosarcoma around the knee after wide resection faces the challenge of great bone defect and future limb length discrepancy in the skeletally immature patients. Modern prosthetic reconstruction may provide good ... Read more...

Anatomic relationship of the radial nerve to the elbow joint: clinical implications of safe pin placement.

30 Aug 2009 The percutaneous placement of lateral distal humeral pins risks injury to the radial nerve. We aimed to provide a reliable and safe parameter for the insertion of lateral distal humeral pins. A secondary aim of this study was to investigate the ... Read more...

Superficial femoral artery injury resulting from intertrochanteric hip fracture fixation by a locked intramedullary nail.

30 Aug 2009 Iatrogenic vascular injuries are uncommon during the course of proximal femur surgical procedures. We report the case of an 85-year-old female presenting with an intertrochanteric fracture, treated by anterograde (cephalocondylic) intramedullary ... Read more...
