Hallux valgus surgery can result in moderate to severe post-operative pain requiring the use of narcotic medication. The percutaneous distal metatarsal osteotomy is a minimally invasive approach which offers many advantages including minimal scarring, immediate weight bearing and decreased post-operative pain. The goal of this study is to determine whether the use of narcotics can be eliminated using an approach combining multimodal analgesia, ankle block
Purpose. The purposes of this study are as follows; 1) to compare postoperative blood loss between general anesthesia(GA) and spinal anesthesia(SA) and 2) to analyze the affecting factors of postoperative blood loss through the subgroup analysis. METHODS. A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 122 patients with osteoarthritis undergoing primary TKA between January 2012 and December 2013. According to different anesthetic method, the patients were divided into the General

Aim: Supine lateral bending radiographs are the standard methods of evaluating curve flexibility before surgery in idiopathic scoliosis. Supine traction radiographs have also been used at the authors’ institution in addition to the supine lateral bending radiographs before surgery, believing that it is usually more helpful to analyze the response of the main and compensatory curves to corrective forces. The purpose of this prospective study was to use and evaluate the results of traction radiographs taken before general

Radial head fractures are among the most common fractures around the elbow. Radial head arthroplasty is one of the surgical treatment options after complex radial head fractures. This surgery is usually done under general
Introduction. External fixation (EF) devices are commonly used in the management of complex skeletal trauma, as well as in elective limb reconstruction surgery for the management of congenital and acquired pathology. The subsequent removal of an EF is commonly performed under a general anaesthetic in an operating theatre. This practice is resource intensive and limits the amount of operating theatre time available for other surgical cases. We aimed to assess the use of regional
