Only those answering “yes” to the question “Have you EVER been told by a doctor or other health professional...
Open reduction and internal fixation of sacroiliac (SI) joint is often performed through an anterior approach. However, there were no studies to our knowledge which described the “at risk area” for injury to the nutrient artery as it relates to open reduction and internal fixation of the SI joint. The purpose of this study was to determine the “at risk area” for the nutrient artery during anterior...
Although there are three distinct compartments of the forearm, the typical approach for decompression of forearm compartment syndrome is a single incision fasciotomy of the volar compartment. This study had two purposes. The first purpose of this study was to investigate the compartment pressure changes within the forearm compartments following the creation of an acute compartment pressure using fresh-frozen...
Intramedullary nailing is the accepted treatment of femoral and tibial shaft fractures. Improvements in surgical techniques and implant designs have extended indications for nailing to metaphyseal fractures of the proximal tibia, distal tibia and the distal femur. Malalignment can still occur with intramedullary nailing of these fractures. Among many techniques that have been described, the use of...
Thigh compartment syndrome is a surgical emergency with risk of high morbidity and mortality rates. The purpose of this study was to review the available evidence regarding the causes of thigh compartment syndrome, techniques of fasciotomy (specifically, one versus two incisions), methods of wound closure, and complications.This institutional review board-exempt study was performed at a level-one...
