Data Trace Editor – Prerequisites: – plate is applied as a tension band in certain short oblique or transverse fractures, eg. the fibula, the metatarsus, the distalu lna and the olecranon; – plate must be placed on the tension side of bone; – plate is contoured to the shape of the bone using … Read more
– See: – One Third Tubular Plate Applied as a Neutralisation Plate: – One Third Tubular Plate Applied as a Tension Band Plate: – Discussion: – these Plates have the form of 1/3 of the circumferance of a cylinder; – they have low rigidity since … Read more
See: Arthroscopic Acromioplasty Rotator Cuff Tear Repair – Discussion: – indications: – impingement syndrome – patients w/ a stable impingement syndrome w/ good shoulder function should participate in a formal rehabilitation program for 6 months; – patients w/ … Read more
– Discussion: – is excellent for triple arthrodesis and for resection of a calcaneonavicular bar; – incision may be extended to expose the subtalar, calcaneocuboid, and talonavicular joints; – wound usually heals well because the proximal flap is dissected full thickness and the skin edges are protected during retraction; … Read more
– See: Rx of PUD – Discussion: – gastric acid pump inhibitor; – used for severe erosive esophagitis; – high doses may lead to hypergastrinemia, enterochromaffinlike cell hyperplasia, and gastric carcinoid formation. – therefore use lower doses if possible. – Adult Dosing: – 20 mg PO qd; Hypersecretory: 60mg PO qd

– See: Classification of Proximal Humeral Fractures: – Discussion: – by definition has less than 1 cm of displacement and less than 45 deg of fracture angulation; – ideally patients should be immobilized in a sling for no more than one week, and then should be started on supervised assisted passive shoulder ROM exercises … Read more
– Discussion: – one third tubular plate is applied as a neutralization plate in spiral frx or frxs w/ butterfly fragment, eg. in fibula & distal ulna; – it is applied after primary interfragmentary fixation with lag screws; – function of the plate is to neutralise any shearing or bending … Read more
– Dosing: – usual dose is 200 mg to 400 mg q 12 hr; – 30-40% of drug will be excreted in to urine; – there is some evidence for higher tissue concentrations than seen with other antibiotics, and with a 800 mg dose the tissue concentrations are at … Read more
– Discussion: – used in conjunction w/ a posterior approach: for fixation of condylar fractures, as well as exposure of distal humeral non unions; – olecranon osteotomy can be either non-articularl or trans-articular; – usually the non-articular olecranon osteotomy is used for non-articular condylar fractures; … Read more
