headOsteotomyApproachBackground A variety of surgical approaches have been employed previously for the open reduction and internal fixation of the fractures of lateral and posterolateral tibial plateau. However, the commonly used lateral approach does not provide adequate exposure and access to the ...
In terms of functionality, all patients with a restored femoral head experienced postoperative improvement in pain relief, mobility, and functional capacity. The average Merle d'Aubigné score increased from 6.0 to 16.9 postoperatively (p<0.001). In conclusion, for traumatic ONFH concomitant with OA...
(eg, tensorfascialata, gluteus medius, semitendinosus, and short head of the biceps femoris). Additionally, a number of studies have shown that this nerve is susceptible to dysfunction from other causes, such as prolonged ice pack application, cysts,ankle sprains, cancer and the associated weight...
A major complication requiring an additional surgical procedure or chronic pain management occurred after fifty-four (4.3%) of the 1270 procedures.A measurable but acceptable morbidity risk is associated with vascularized fibular transfer for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the hip. Major complications...
Free vascularized fibular grafting (FVFG) may provide a durable means to preserve the femoral head. When used in the precollapse stages of ONFH, this treatment may alter the course of disease. Questions/purposes We asked: (1) In what percentage of patients does FVFG preserve the femoral ...
It is to cut small section of the proximal fibula, i.e., below the fibula head, which breaks the fibula and weakens its support for the lateral of the tibial plateau, lastly reduces the gap on the lateral side of the knee joint and offsets the knee varus deformity caused by weight ...
Examination revealed a prominence deformity and significant tenderness over the lateral knee distal to the joint line, in the region of the fibular head. During his emergency department (ED) evaluation, he had intact peroneal nerve function. A picture of his legs is shown in Figure 1. Proximal...
Evaluation of conduction block at or across the fibular head appears to be of great importance for the prognosis (Fig. 19.27). For diagnosis, Pickett (1984) noted that with surface electrode recording from the EDB, a decrease of the proximal CMAP of more than 20% was 61% sensitive. Short...
From 1989 to 1994, three patients were treated and reviewed in our practice: all, soccer players on the local team, 20, 23, and 25 years old, with superior tibiofibular pain and tumefaction, without neurological symptoms, but with anteroposterior mobility of the fibular head. The average ...
The usual symptomatolgy was pain along the lateral side of the knee and leg. This could be elicited by direct pressure over the fibular head.7 There are two varieties of PTFJ subluxation: idiopathic and postdislocation. The idiopathic cases show a bimodal distribution, being particularly ...
