Intravertebral expandable implants in thoracolumbar vertebral compression fract...

Current scientific evidence enhances the importance of the anatomic restauration of vertebral bodies with compression fractures aiming, as with other human body joints, to obtain a biomechanic and functional spine as close as the one prior to the fracture as possible. We consider that anatomic reduction of these fractures is only completely possible using intravertebral expandable implants, restoring vertebral ...

Stent-armed kyphoplasty in osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures—clinical and fu...

Background: The optimal treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures is still a controversial and under discussion topic. Armed kyphoplasty with expansive intravertebral implants is an emerging procedure, which, in theory, it not only makes it possible to achieve instant analgesia, and to get stabilization gains of benefits of kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty, but also, allows for a more effective maintenance of...

Lesões Cervicais no Mergulho

As lesões da coluna cervical associadas a atividades aquáticas, tais como o mergulho, ocorrem principalmente em indivíduos jovens e saudáveis. As lesões mais comuns são as fraturas e luxações das vértebras cervicais, habitualmente de C5, C6 e C7, podendo estar associadas a lesão da medula espinhal, mais frequentemente no nível C5 e C6. São causa primária de tetraplegia associada a atividades recreativas, caract...

Surgical Treatment of Multiple Osteoporotic Fractures of the Dorsolumbar Spine:...

Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are a common type of fracture and affect a significant number of subjects with osteoporosis. Despite the high fracture risk, the concomitant occurrence of vertebral fractures at non-contiguous levels is very rare. We report the case of a patient with three burst dorsolumbar spine fractures at non-contiguous levels who was treated with percutaneous kyphoplasty and transpedicular ...

Hip Desarthrodesis - Report of Three Cases

Hip desarthrodesis, which is the conversion of an arthrodesis or of a surgical bone fusion into a hip replacement arthroplasty, is a difficult and challenging operation because of the need of a joint reconstruction in cases with bone fusion and an often long-term immobilization between the femur and the acetabulum, with important anatomic changes, retractions of adjacent soft tissues, and an associated limb sho...

Treatment of Pathological Humerus-Shaft Tumoral Fractures with Rigid Static Int...

Objective  This was a retrospective observational study in patients submitted to intramedullary nail fixation after established or impeding pathological humerus-shaft tumoral fracture in the context of disseminated tumoral disease along 22 years of experience at the same institution. Methods  Sample with 82 patients and 86 humeral fixations with unreamed rigid interlocking static intramedullary nail by the ante...

Modified Bristow-Latarjet procedure for treatment of recurrent traumatic anteri...

Retrospective case-control study of authors experience in the modified Bristow-Latarjet procedure for treatment of recurrent traumatic anterior glenohumeral dislocation with glenoid bone injury.

Síndrome de Osgood-Schlatter

The Osgood-Schlatter syndrome (OSS) is characterized by partial separation between tibial epiphysis and the anterior tibial tuberosity ossification center, establishing itself as the most common origin of morbidity localized to the knee during adolescence. It is characterized by its particular frequency in males aged between 12 and 15 years and physical exercise practitioners. This condition is self-limited, wi...
