Periacetabular Osteotomy
Acetabular retroversion causing pincer-type FAI can be treated by resection of the excessive anterior acetabular rim or reverse periacetabular osteotomy [1]. Reverse periacetabular osteotomy is a surgical method of completely reorienting the acetabulum to alleviate the anterior impingement. Reverse periacetabular osteotomy involves cutting the bone around the acetabulum, freeing it from the rest of the pelvis, and then repositioning the acetabulum to decrease both lateral and anterior femoral head coverage, as well as to antevert the acetabulum. This technique may be especially useful in hips with a positive posterior wall sign indicating a deficient posterior acetabular wall, in which case an acetabular rim-trim could
Patients suffering from herniated disc(s) of the spine have a variety of options available to them to help alleviate the pain they feel. When conservative methods do not deal with the symptoms, there is a minimally invasive and highly effective procedure that can be performed: the lumbar microdiscectomy. The relevant anatomy, preoperative diagnostic tests/procedures, preoperative procedures, including OR setup, prepping of patient, and draping, the surgical procedure and post operative results and potential complications will be described and discussed.

Hip implants have been utilized even longer than metal-on-plastic implants. Metal-on-Metal bearings (cobalt chromium alloy, titanium alloy or from time to time stainless steel) were in use from as distant back as 1955 nevertheless they were not agreed for use in the U.S. by the FDA till 1999. They proposal the possible for considerably decreased wear, alongside less inflammation and less bone loss. A little mechanism recalls have held negative attention to Metal-on-Metal. Metal-on-metal constituents permit the biggest heads across the whole scope of implant sizes. Colossal ball heads furnish increased scope of gesture and larger stability, that can considerably cut the chance of hip dislocation, a critical factor in the long word accomplishment of an implant.
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, powerful health care approach that acts through the tissue, fluid, membranes and central nervous system to aid in enhancing the health of the whole body (Enslin and Associates, 2014). Alexander (2001) mentions that there are rhythmic impulses brought on by the cerebrospinal fluid in the cranium and sacrum, and that if these impulses are weak, this represents an imbalance or illness in the body, but she also found out that tender touches and manipulation of the cranium and sacrum can restore the balance and improve the health of the whole body.
In orthopedic surgery, iliac bone graft which is commonly used for treatment nonunion or spinal fusion is contained multipotential stem cells or mesenchymal progenitor cells. These cells are found approximately 1 in 10,000 nucleated cells in the bone marrow. Friedenstein et al. (1970) reported that a rare population of cells was found by plastic-adherent ability (Friedenstein et al., 1970). These cells are capable of proliferation and mesenchymal lineages differentiation (Pittenger et al., 1999, Caplan, 1991). Unique antigens of MSCs (hMSCs) are controversy and the limited popularity of sorting cells techniques are not as widely used as gradient media in MSC isolation. Most MSC populations have been isolated by plastic adherent ability which is similar to that originally used by Friedenstein. Direct BM plating method is commonly used for cells from small animal (Lennon and Caplan, 2006, Nadri et al., 2007) but in human bone marrow, Density gradient centrifugation is the most commonly used method for isolating MSCs.
A femoral head preserving operation having satisfactory results in long term follow up should be the treatment of choice in younger individuals and THR in elderly where femoral head is badly damaged and in younger patients with multisystem diseases and poor general health. Considering the life style of people of our country who needs squatting habit, decompression of femoral head and TFL muscle pedicle bone grafting is a good option both in early and even in advanced stages of the disease unless the femoral head is badly deformed or collapsed more than 5mm. Considering its technical simplicity compared to the use of other vascularised bone grafts like vascularised fibular or vascular pedicle iliac crest graft, the above method can be recommended in patients of developing countries like ours where osteonecrosis is common.
With nearly 200,000 cases per year, with women being hurt much more than men, 4-10 times more often to be exact, it is clearly a rising issue (ACL Surgery 2). This is due to women having fuller and wider hips compared to men and also corresponding to what Dr. Levine says it is because when girls mature, they develop a muscle in their thigh that contradicts against the ACL (Flanagan 8) Especially since Ti...
My patient was a twenty-two year old female and she suffers from bunions on both of her feet. Only the left foot was treated, because the severity level was higher. After her diagnosis, she was taken to surgery and had the first metatarsal operated on. Type of surgery that was performed is called a bunionectomy. This surgery requires a small piece of bone to be removed and repositioned by a piece of hardware (UPMC, 2014). My patient had a screw inserted from the lateral border of her first metatarsal. After the surgery, she came to x-ray to get post operation images. The order called for a left foot series, which includes the anterior posterior (AP), oblique, and lateral views. After the surgery she had a cast on, which meant techniques were increased on each view accordingly. The AP view was done with the tube angled about ten degrees cephalic with a technique set at 65 kVp and 3.2 mAs. Next the oblique was done by rolling her foot medially about thirty degrees with no angle on and using the same technique as the AP. After she was placed in a lateral position and increasing the mAs to 4.

The syndrome is caused because of Genetic mutation that replaces connective tissues (muscles) with bones when someone gets injured instead of getting cured. This results in a new skeletal structure. Unfortunately this syndrome does not have any cure and the patients are advised to always be careful and not to fall or have any kind of traumas. They can’t engage in any sports in order to prevent any injuries. Surgery for removal of extra bones is not an option because removal of bones will lead to ingrowth of more bones. From previous cases it is seen that most of the patients suffering from this condition do not live more than 40 years and they die of respiratory
Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure that relieves pain from most kinds of hip arthritis, thus helping to improve the quality of life for the majority of the patients that undergo the operation. Arthritis simply means "inflammation of a joint." Arthritis can occur in any joint in the body. The main symptom of arthritis is pain which usually worsens with activity and weight bearing. This pain may be relieved most of the time through rest. There are over 100 types of arthritis but less than a handful account for over than 95 percent of the hip replacements that are performed. Some of these include Osteoarthritis (causes deterioration of the cartilage and the growth of bone spurs), Rheumatoid arthritis and Osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Doctors suggest that before considering hip replacement surgery for arthritis that the patient tries a number of non-operative interventions. Your doctor may have you consider little things such as weight loss (most arthritis is caused due to the weight bearing on a joint), activity modification or even the use of a cane. Patients should consider THR when daily living activities become harder to accomplish due to the pain. These activities would include walking, climbing stairs or other moderate pastimes. Anti-inflammatory medications which will help reduce the inflammation from the arthritis and reduce your pain may also be prescribed by the patient's doctor.
This Preusser (2008) case study involves a 75 year old female, S.P., who fell at home and is admitted to the orthopedic ward for an intracapsular fracture of the hip at the femoral neck (p. 183). Assessment data includes her height is 5’3”, weight is 118 lbs, blood pressure...

Orthopedic surgeons are responsible for mending and operating on the musculoskeletal system. “Orthopedics is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, care, and treatment of patients with disorders of the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and skin” (Career in Orthopaedics). Depending on the damage the patient has sustained determines how the orthopedic surgeon is able to correct the patient’s injury. In many cases there are multiple ways of correcting the patient’s injury such as; using medical, physical, and rehabilitative techniques to using complex surgical methods. “Typically, as much as 50 percent of the orthopedic surgeon’s practice is devoted to no surgical or medical management of injuries or disease and 50 percent to surgical management” (Career in Orthopaedics). The majority of surgeons, including orthopedic surgeons, prefer to choose the least invasive procedures such as; arthroscopy which is a technological advancement allowing orthopedic surgeons to use special cameras in order to diagnose and treat a joint with minimal cutting and trauma to...
