External fixation of “intertrochanteric” fractures

Orthopedic Review, 2009
In developing countries, due to limited availability of modern anesthesia and overcrowding of the hospitals with patients who need surgery, high-risk patients with "intertrochanteric" fractures remain unsuita ble for open reduction and internal fixation.The aim of this study was to analyze the results of external fixation of "intertrochanteric ...

SHORT SEGMENT FIXATION OF THORACOLUMBAR FRACTURES WITH PEDICLE FIXATION AT THE LEVEL OF THE FRACTURE

Euromediterranean Biomedical Journal, 2018
Thoracolumbar fractures are very frequent injuries, for both anatomical and biomechanical reasons. The most appropriate surgical treatment is still debatable. However, the main objectives are generally the restoration of segmental stability, correction of the deformity, decompression and protection of the neurological structures, and obtainment of ...

Assessing a Mitochondrial Disease Treatment via a Novel Statistical Technique for Accelerometer Data

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Therapeutic development for mitochondrial diseases, rare genetic disorders with pathogenic defects of oxidative phosphorylation, is hindered by unsatisfactory outcome measures. To address this problem, we provide the first clinical application of a novel, bias‐adjusted outcome measure of acceleration across a range of subjects ...
