In addition, exact restoration of the radial bow with ORIF can still lead to a limited range of motion due to soft tissue fibrosis, scarring, adhesions, and delayed mobilization [54]. Early ROM is a stronger determinant of forearm function than radial bow restoration [3, 32, 55, 56]. ...
In the weeks leading up to my surgery, I would debate the pros and cons of implants over and over again. Like Dr. Rowe, I was struggling to understand my expectations. Due to their generally higher placement, my nipples would be raised only an inch. With the removal of skin, my 34D ...
It is well known that a conversion total hip arthroplasty after an initial failed fixation has more complications than a primary total hip arthroplasty44 due to the increased difficulty of surgery from scar tissue and bone stock. In fact, a recent study by Douglas et al. showed that conversion...
confirmed by the use of Turing Tests. The most common comment recorded for the virtual stains was the presence of aberrant edge staining on needle core biopsies. This is likely the due to the inclusion of wedge biopsies in the training set. Because wedge tissue has significant areas...
Conclusions The muscle splitting biplane breast augmentation offers improved long-term aesthetic outcomes; is extremely versatile, fast, and easy; and may also be used in patients requiring removal and replacement of breast implants. In combination with the internal mastopexy, this technique is an ...
14 Physiologic cell death is a normal event in tissue homeostasis and is important for removal of unnecessary or damaged cells. In the context of renal disease, the balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis plays a critical role in maintaining an optimal number of cells after an insult.15...
A small cavity, the deep scleral lake 8, is generated by the removal of tissue in the sclera 7. The suprachoroidal space 12, a normally occurring potential space, is entered by cutting directly, or at a slanted angle through the scleral bed 9. The shunt 1, which can comprise a precut...
a. The stoma in the stomach was well healed 2 weeks after stent removal. b. The stoma in the gallbladder was well healed 2 weeks after stent removal. c. After the fistula was healed, the gastric and gallbladder walls were attached to each other by a short band of connective tissue. ...
Common complications include nonunion, pain, and hardware irritation which may necessitate hardware removal and increase the risk of refracture [6,7,8,9,10,11]. Intramedullary nail (IMN) fixation is an alternative treatment option for diaphyseal forearm fractures, which has minimal soft tissue ...
Probably the biggest determinate in how the disc space is approached is the comfort level that the spine surgeon has with an anterior approach for the spine fusion surgery. Not all spine surgeons are comfortable with operating around the great vessels (aorta and vena cava) or have access to a...
