Giant cell tumor is a benign primary bone tumor. The phalangeal localization is rare. It is distinguished from other locations by the local aggressiveness of the tumor and a high rate of recurrence. We report one case...
Background: Insertion of the pedicle screws (PS) into the proximal thoracic spine is occasionally challenging owing to the small size of the pedicles and the proximity to the spinal cord. An appropriate anchor placeme...
Study Design: This is a retrospective cohort study using data from the adult spinal deformity (ASD) database of a single institution. Purpose: To investigate the incidence of proximal junctional failure and distal jun...
Objective: In the constantly growing population of people beyond the age of 60 years, the incidence of complex comminuted humeral head fractures increases, thus increasing the need for prosthetic replacement. The purp...
Background: The proximal femur is the most common site of bone metastasis, and metastasis at this site can cause chronic, intolerable pain and even result in pathologic fractures, thereby negatively affecting patients...
Aims: To evaluate the short term functional outcomes following a reverse total shoulder replacement for complex neck of humerus fractures. Methods: A single centre retrospective case series evaluating all patients who...
Background: Functional treatment of proximal femur fractures (PFF) is being discontinued with advances in surgery and anesthesia. Suspension traction is used as a waiting treatment before surgery when technical, mater...
This study compared proximal femoral morphology in patients living in soft and hard water regions. The proximal femoral morphology of two groups of 70 patients living in hard and soft water regions with a mean age of ...
Bone tumors are infrequent within the scapula. Total scapulectomy with massive allograft reconstruction represents an attractive alternative to amputation when the whole scapula is invaded with tumor and the neurovasc...
Giant cell tumour of the distal radius is the 3rd most common site after proximal tibia and distal femur. It is locally aggressive and is associated with a high rate of recurrence. Although it is usually treated with ...
