Circumferential fixation with craniofacial miniplates for a cervical spine injury in a child.

30 Oct 2009 Unstable pediatric cervical spine injuries present significant challenges in terms of fixation. Given the smaller cervical vertebral bodies in the preschool-aged population, commercially available pediatric cervical fixation instrumentation may be ... Read more...

A morphometric study of the inferior orbital fissure using three-dimensional anatomical landmarks: application to orbital surgery.

30 Aug 2009 The inferior orbital fissure (IOF) is an important structure during orbital surgery, however, neither its anatomical features nor the procedures necessary to expose the IOF have been examined in detail. A morphometric analysis of the IOF was ... Read more...

German neuroendoscopy above the skull base.

30 Aug 2009 Endoscopy plays an important part in current minimally invasive neurosurgery. The concepts, indications, and standards of current neuroendoscopy were developed in the beginning of the 1990s by several groups of neurosurgeons. Several factors ... Read more...
