Fourteen patients with the injury score > 4, based on the thoracolumbar injury classification score (TLICS), and with type A fractures, based on the AO Spine thoracolumbar injury classification score (TLAOSIS), were included in the study. Scoliosis radiographs were shot preoperatively and at 1st, 6th, and 12th months during the postoperative period, and measurements were performed using the software of Surgimap (Nemaris, Inc)....

Clavicle is an S-shaped subcutaneous bone which increases the band ring power of the shoulder. Clavicle fractures account for approximately 4% of all fractures. Fractures occur most commonly in the middle third of the bone (76-82%) and less often in the distal (12- 21%) and medial (3-6%) thirds. There appears to be a fairly uniform consensus regarding conservative management for medial third fractures and operative for displaced distal third fractures, however that for mid third clavicular fract...

Even if lumbar disc-herniation (LDH)-surgery is rather common, there is little knowledge on future sick leave. The aim of this study was to explore risk factors for having many sick-leave days following lumbar disc-herniation surgery. A prospective cohort study, using microdata linked from four nationwide Swedish registers was conducted. We included all patients in Sweden who, when aged 25-60 years, had a first LDH-surgery in 2007-2009 and at surgery date were not on disability pension for more ...

Osteoid osteoma of the foot can be difficult to diagnose, the clinical presentation may be mimicking other local pathologies leading to a considerable delay in diagnosis. We report an exceptional localization of osteoid osteoma in the second metatarsal in a 30-year-old patient, expressed for 3 years by metatarsalgia, with no clinical and radiological architecture defect of the foot. After discovering the nidus, the patient underwent surgical excision with an excellent outcome....
