..Therefore, this study was performed to analyse the incidence and risk factors of developing a CD-associated infection in septic trauma patients...

..This study was designed to evaluate the incidence of femoral malrotation in bilateral femoral shaft fractures...

..Retrospective chart review...

..The aim of our study was to determine the clinical outcome after single-dose radiation therapy in the prophylaxis of HO in paraplegic patients...

..7%. A neurological deficit was seen in 43.7% of the patients; complete recovery occurred in 71% of the patients with a Frankel D stage, but in only 15.4 to 222% of those with a stage A, B or C...

..This may exacerbate intraoperative errors in determining and setting rotation. Angular stable plates or nails may minimize this problem...

..In this context we developed a new technique that keeps the spacer in distraction during the cementation process to achieve better weight-bearing stability...

..Several fixation techniques exist to repair the distal biceps brachii tendon. We aimed to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes after distal biceps tendon repair using three different fixation techniques...

..This type of injury has not been reported in the literature before...

..Computer-assisted navigation improves the rate of ideally placed screws. Inappropriate reference marker attachment can cause major problems in the outcome and duration of surgery...

..Necessary intraoperative movements or manipulations would cause substantial registration failures. Invasive fixation techniques with screws or pins are still the method of choice...

..This, in turn, could lead to a better understanding of the kinematics in play during the pivot shift phenomenon...

..The aim of our study was to produce a 3-D reconstruction of a CT dataset and compare it to the conventional method, with that same dataset, in terms of precision and the influence of femoral positioning...

..The current study involves a cadaveric specimen with navigated pedicle screw placement using conventional reference markers and isocentric 3D fluoroscopy and also minimally invasive reference marker use with a flat panel 3D scanner...

..The aim of this study was to analyze the mechanical effects of a weight-bearing platform on the traditional all-wire, four-ring frame in comparison to a two-ring frame consisting of half-pins...

..To evaluate and compare the accuracy of using the femoral neck axis and the greater trochanter with navigation to determine femoral anteversion...

..This case demonstrates a combined approach using a new software tool based on intraoperative fluoroscopy-3D imaging...

....

..They believe that this system may further increase the precision and accuracy of pedicle screw placement...

..HTO should be done prior to fixation the ACL graft in combined procedures as valgisation does affect graft length. Relative alignment influence on obliquity and length of the PL bundle should be considered in valgus knees...

..An important technical consideration when obtaining navigated femoral rotational alignment is the necessity for orthogonal navigated fluoroscopic images...

..The current authors report on a clinical application of a novel minimally invasive fixator-assisted correction of a posttraumatic distal femoral varus deformity after total knee arthroplasty with combined navigated measurements...

..The objective of this study was to determine which clinical factors influence the presence and extent of femoral malrotation during unreamed nail insertion performed without a fracture table...

....

..The current investigators hypothesized that in a knee with UKA, single-bundle ACL reconstruction would restore tibiofemoral translation to levels similar to those of the intact ACL...

..The authors proposed that increasing the applied force from a minimum critical value would lead to greater magnitudes of femoro-tibial translation...

..Early and thorough diagnosis, as well as carefully considered and prompt therapy, is important for minimizing the patient's functional deficit, thus improving quality of life...

..The distal tibial fracture was treated conservatively with a toe-to-knee cast for 6 weeks. In summary, the authors present a rare case of distal tibial fracture. Surgeons should bear this additional complication in mind...

..The clinical management of VAC therapy requires a distinct indication and close clinical monitoring by experienced medical professionals. The use of VAC therapy in fourth grade sores may have deleterious consequences for the patient...

..Aneurysmal bone cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unspecific pain of the spine. Follow-up examinations after three, five and twelve months did not show signs of recurrence...

..This article will outline the current state of computer assisted trauma surgery including its implications and specific challenges in orthopaedic trauma surgery...

..5 screws and 4.5 screws above and below the prosthesis, respectively. This combination is a cost-effective technique to treat periprosthetic humeral fractures...

..Computer navigation has been gaining popularity in orthopaedic surgery to improve accuracy and precision...

..These include the magnitude of postoperative alignment and the type of material used. The effect of component design and material on postoperative alignment, however, has not been explored...

..The purpose was to evaluate the relationship between native proximal tibial anatomy and knee kinematics in the anterior cruciate-deficient knee...

..Postoperative staging showed no pathological abnormalities and no tumor recurrence after 6 months. Even though rare, carcinoids should be considered as differential diagnosis of tumors occurring in the CNS...
