0 | Ultraclean air for prevention of postoperative infection after posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation: a comparison between surgeries performed with and without a vertical exponential filtered air-flow system | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | STUDY DESIGN: This study retrospectively compared infection rates between adult patients after posterior spinal instrumentation procedures performed in a conventional versus an ultraclean air operating room. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate if the use of ultraclean air technology could decrease the infection rate after posterior... |
0 | Modified step-cut osteotomy for correction of post-traumatic cubitus varus deformity: a report of 19 cases | Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fracture 2020 Review | We reviewed the outcomes of post-traumatic varus deformity treated with modified step-cut osteotomy in 19 patients (average age, 7.4 years; range, 4.3-16.8 years at time of surgery). The average follow-up period was 29.6 months. The mean range of motion was 15.0°/124.7° (extension/flexion) before surgery and 6.8°/13... |
