1.Orthogonal versus Parallel Plating for Distal Humeral Fractures.
Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow 2015;18(2):105-112
In orthopedic trauma surgery, treatment of intraarticular distal humerus fractures is a challenge. With development of implants and biomechanical studies, surgical strategies with recommendations including preoperative computed tomography images, proper approaches and open reduction and internal fixation with dual plates have emerged. In addition, as an effort to provide stable fixation to permit early elbow motion, different methods of internal fixation, particularly plate configuration, have evolved. Using dual plates, either oriented parallel to each other or orthogonal, stable fixation has been achieved and satisfactory clinical outcomes have been reported. With rationales and advantages/disadvantages of each plate configuration, both techniques are selected according to surgeons' preference, and, in specific cases, one could be preferred over another. The key to successful fixation by either technique is obtaining anatomical reduction with restoration of two stable columns of the distal humerus.

PURPOSE: We evaluated the medium- to long-term outcomes of cortical strut allografts used to treat periprosthetic bone defects to better understand the correlation between radiological and clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed outcomes from 19 patients undergoing cortical strut allografts to treat periproshtetic bone defects from 2001 to 2015. The mean age at index operation was 59.4 years and the average follow-up period was 8.6 years. Surgeries were performed because of aseptic loosening (n=9), periprosthetic fractures (n=5), and infections (n=5). Each case was characterized and described in detail including the length of allograft and the union period; possible correlations between allograft length and detailed classification and union period was analyzed. Clinical evaluations included the Harris hip score and Kaplan-Meier survivorship. RESULTS: In revision total hip arthroplasty (THA), the average length of allografts used in patients experiencing fractures was significantly longer than those with aseptic loosening or infection. Of the 19 cases, incorporation was observed in 18 cases (94.7%). The average time to incorporation was 21.2 months and the time to incorporation was not significantly different among the two groups (fracture vs. aseptic loosening or infection). No positive correlation was identified between the length of allograft and incorporation period or in the time to cortical strut allograft incorporation among Paprosky or Vancouver subgroups. CONCLUSION: Results of cortical strut allografts show excellent incorporation rates based on medium- to long-term follow-up. Cortical strut allografts may be considered useful for the treatment of femoral bone defects experienced during revision THA and following periprosthetic fracture.

BACKGROUND: Some research viewed that effective dietary therapy was enough to control proper blood glucose level, but in the most patient, dietary therapy was not practiced and the most difficult part of managing their diabetes. The purpose of this research study was to investigate dietary practice adherence and perceived barriers among the elderly diabetes. METHODS: The survey was mailed to 852 persons with diabetes member via diabetic educator of 156 hospitals or clinics and 24 health centers. Questionnaire had background information of patients, meal regularity, food intake as a dietary practice adherence, barriers of 36 items which have 3 areas such as motive/attitude, knowledge, authority/resource. We asked the person with diabetes to rate barrier to dietary practice adherence. 432 questionnaire were returned the response. we selected 69 persons who were over 65 year old. RESULTS: 1) meal regularity was more satisfactory than food intake. 2) deficit of meal regularity were evening snack and resonable spacing between evening meal and evening snack. 3) deficit of food intake was serving of milk. 4) main barrier to dietary practice adherence was that of knowledge. CONCLUSION: For practice effectively dietary therapy to elderly diabetes, individual consultation or small group education must be pursued and more easily educational skills should be required.

Short umbilical cord syndrome, also known as the limb-body wall malformation complex and the body stalk anomaly, is a poorly defined sporadic group of congenital anomaly charaterized by a complex set of disruptive abnormalities having in common the failured closure of the ventral body wall. This disorder is charaterized by a short or absent umbilical cord and disruption of the lateral body wall, spine, limbs, face, and cranium, isolated or in combination. Recently, we present a case of short umbilical cord syndrome which found in a term baby, so we report a case of short umbilical cord syndrome with brief review of literature.

Seven patients with average age of 15years and 6 months (range: 8 years and 11 months 25 years and 6 months) underwent forearm lengthening by callotasis. The indications for lengthening were shortening and/or deformity of the forearm due to exostosis of the distal ulna in three cases, growth disturbance due to physeal injury of the distal radius in three, congenital radial dislocation in one. Three had lengthening of the radius, three of the ulna and one of both the radius and the ulna. The average lengthening achieved was 3.8 cm (3.5 - 4.0) in radius, 2.7 cm (2.3 - 3.0) in ulna. Complications encountered were pin tract infection in two cases, nonunion in one and temporary nerve palsy in one. All of these complications were recovered completely without any residua. Retrospective review after average 41 months of follow-up (range: 36 to 78) showed satisfactory improvement in appearance and function. Callotasis was considered as one of the safe and reliable treatment methods for bone lengthening and deformity correction of the forearm.
