Bilateral complete discoid medial meniscus combined with posterior cyst formation

Bilateral discoid medial menisci is an extremely rare condition of the knee and it can be associated to other pathological findings, including anterior portion cyst formation. We report on the clinical features, radiographic findings, treatment and results of one patient who presented a bilateral medial discoid meniscus combined with posterior portion cyst of the left knee. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first case of bilateral medial discoid meniscus associated with posterior portion cyst formation.     

环孢霉素A致可逆性后部白质脑病综合征的MRI表现

目的探讨环孢霉素A诱发可逆性后部白质脑病综合征(PRLS)的MRI表现。资料与方法回顾性分析1例PRLS的临床资料和MRI表现并复习文献。结果MRI显示PRLS以顶枕叶为主的皮层及皮层下白质病变,病变多呈双侧对称性分布,偶可累及双侧颞叶后部及额叶,T2WI和液体衰减翻转恢复序列(FLAIR)对病变的显示有独特的作用,扩散加权成像(DWI)能够确定PRLS的临床分期。结论PRLS在MRI上具有特征性。MRI表现结合临床资料,对PRLS多能作出正确的诊断。     

后颅凹成血管细胞瘤的影像学特点及其诊断

目的：探讨成血管细胞瘤的影像学特点。材料与方法：报道１４例成血管细胞瘤的ＣＴ和ＭＲＩ所见，分析肿瘤的特点。结果：囊性肿瘤，在ＭＲＩ上表现为囊性病灶和附壁肿瘤结节；在ＣＴ上表现为该典型征象占８１．８％。混合性肿瘤３例，在ＣＴ和ＭＲＩ上表现实质性肿块、偏心性囊变和均一显著强化；后者还可见肿瘤旁和肿瘤内血管流空。结论：ＣＴ和ＭＲＩ均是诊断成血管细胞瘤的有效检查方法。成血管细胞瘤的特征性影像学表现是囊肿和突入囊内的壁结节，以及肿瘤的异常显著增强     

胸腰椎骨折伴脊髓损伤前后路手术适应证的选择

目的 通过107例胸腰椎骨折伴脊髓损伤病例的治疗,探讨前、后路手术适应证的选择。方法 31例经前路减压植骨,采用Z-Plate等内固定。76例经后路采用短节段椎弓根钉内固定。结果 两组均获得了满意的疗效。结论 选择前或后路手术,应综合考虑脊髓损伤程度、手术时机与技巧、骨折的部位、骨折类型和影像结果等,才能确实做到减压、恢复脊柱序列和坚强固定的目的。     

后房型人工晶状体植入术后的超声生物显微镜观察

目的：探讨后房型人工晶状体植入术后眼前节结构的改变。确切定位人工晶状体襻的位置。观察人工晶状体襻对于周围组织的影响。方法：白内障摘除及后房型人工晶状体植入术的50名患者（50眼）于术前，术后1周及三个月进行超声生物显微镜观察。结果：术后前房深度，房角宽度押送术前显著增加。人工晶状体中囊袋内植入者36枚（72%）。睫状沟植入者6枚（12%），不对称植入者8枚（16%）。人工晶状体光学部倾斜1眼（2%）。人工晶状体襻推挤虹膜根部2眼（4%）。人工晶状体襻睫状沟侵蚀3眼（6%）。术后1周2眼（4%）眼压升高。皮质少量残留5眼（10%）。结论：囊袋内为后房型人工晶状体植入的理想位置。可保证人工晶状体的良好位置。避免人工晶状体襻对于色素膜组织的干扰及对血-房水屏蔽的损伤，从而减少并发症的发生。     

Anterior lumbar instrumentation improves correction of severe lumbar Lenke C curves in double major idiopathic scoliosis

Fifteen skeletally immature patients with double major adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with large lumbar curves and notable L4 and L5 coronal plane obliquity were retrospectively studied. Seven patients who underwent anterior release and fusion of the lumbar curve with segmental anterior instrumentation and subsequent posterior instrumentation ending at L3 were compared with eight patients treated with anterior release and fusion without anterior instrumentation followed by posterior instrumentation to L3 or L4. At 4.5 years follow-up (range 2.5-7 years), curve correction, coronal balance and fusion rate were not statistically different between the two groups; however, the group with anterior instrumentation had improved coronal plane, near normalangulation in the distal unfused segment compared with the group without anterior instrumentation. In cases involving severe lumbar curvatures in the context of double major scoliosis, when as a first stage anterior release is chosen, the addition of instrumentation appears to restore normal coronal alignment of the distal unfused lumbar segment, and may in certain cases save a level compared with traditional fusions to L4.     

Single visit root canal treatment: incidence of postoperative pain using three different instrumentation techniques

A clinical study was carried out on nonvital maxillary central incisors to evaluate the incidence of postoperative pain following single-visit root canal treatment using three different instrumentation techniques. Ninety teeth from 78 patients whose ages ranged from 14 to 63 years were selected and divided into three groups. Each group (30 teeth) was prepared by a different coronal-to-apical technique using different instrument movement depending upon the technique employed: modified double-flared, crown-downpressureless and balanced force techniques. No difference was observed in the incidence of postoperative pain among the groups.     

Posterior segment eye-surgery in day care?

Day care is generally accepted in anterior segment eye-surgery. In the Rotterdam Eye Hospital this option was also considered for posterior segment surgery. We were interested in the opinion, of patients on this matter and therefore asked patients, who were admitted for posterior segment eye-surgery, to answer a questionnaire. The major question was: ‘If your physician had given his permission, do you think it would have been possible for you to go home on the evening after surgery?’. Other questions evaluated problems in organising assistance at home and transportation to the out-patient clinic as well as circumstances after the operation, such as pain, nausea, dizziness and anxiety. Eighty-one out of 87 patients responded: 56% answered ‘eyes’ and 44% ‘no’ to the major question. Relating the answer to the major question to medical data and to answers to the other questions, we found organizational problems at home and anxiety to have a statistical significant relation with a negative answer. Clinical factors like age, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)-class, diabetes mellitus (including insulin-dependant), type of anesthesia, time of the day the surgery was finished, duration of surgery, pain, nausea or dizziness were not signficantly related. The number of patients involved in this study, however, is too small to draw conclusions on specific subgroups of patients.

Comparison of the biomechanical effect of posterior condylar offset and kinematics between posterior cruciate-retaining and posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty

Background

The effect of the changes in the femoral posterior condylar offset (PCO) on anterior–posterior (AP) translation and internal–external (IE) rotation in cruciate-retaining (CR) and posterior-stabilized (PS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare the kinematics in CR and PS TKA with respect to the difference in prosthetic design and PCO change through a computational simulation.
