Long before the current challenges of the growing organized international university exchange programs and projects discount 120 mg silvitra overnight delivery erectile dysfunction caused by lipitor, Vainio made unbelievable efforts to- ward a better understanding and relationship between colleagues around the orthopedic world generic 120mg silvitra amex erectile dysfunction pills side effects, with special reference to his life’s work—the operative treatment of the rheumatoid limb as an integrated part of the overall plan for the rheuma- toid patient. He is said to have established a 341 Who’s Who in Orthopedics school of about 1,000 residents and visitors from 1939. From 1938 to 1939, Verbiest studied neu- Belgium, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Great Britain, rosurgery in Paris.

He was During his career Verbiest received many a man with innumerable friends and spare-time honors from his own government and from the activities. At a rather early stage in his orthope- international neurosurgical community. He is, dic career, Vainio drew fundamental guidelines perhaps, best remembered for his description of for the operative treatment of the rheumatoid spinal stenosis.

Orthopedic science as well as orthopedic Another characteristic of the man we mourn surgery owes a great deal to Jean Verbrugge, as was the price he attached to friendship. People of evidenced by his numerous books, papers, his generation and younger ones can bear witness reports, lectures—about 175 publications in all. All sorts of render a service, chat with his friends, meet them, honors naturally rewarded his brilliant efforts tease them in a good-natured fashion, such and, as was only to be expected, he was a member appeared to be one of his principal aims in life.

He was called to the his colleagues of the Société Belge de Chirurgie; presidency of the Belgian Orthopedic Association his attitude was in no way that of a president, stiff no less than three times. He presided over many and solemn, discharging an obligation toward the a congress in Belgium and in other countries in a members of a society: quite the opposite, in fact, smiling good-natured manner, which did not he behaved like a man affectionately surrounded exclude firm action when necessary. The reception was full of to meet socially as he was captivating to listen to warmth and a total success and, each time he and fascinating to follow as a scientist.

He then rejected progressively one after another of the four possible solutions and, finally, there remained only one, which his con- science, his common sense, and his experience told him was the best.

Many young patients suffer from osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). For this reason, osteotomy is considered to be an important treatment option, and their survival after osteotomy of the hip is expected to be of long duration. Cases that survived more than 25 years after osteotomy were investigated to reconfirm the principles or the indication based upon our previous experience about osteotomy treatment for ONFH. Fifteen cases were divided into two groups with or without advanced osteoarthritis at the last follow-up and were compared. All the cases with advanced osteoarthritis (OA) had collapse progression. All the cases in which the preoperative stage was advanced were included in those with advanced OA at the last follow-up. In contrast, collapse progression was not observed in the cases without advanced OA at the last follow-up. According to these data, we reconfirmed that collapse progression is the main cause for poor outcome after osteotomy, and that cases operated on at an early stage are apt to experience a good prognosis. When the indication and the operation are appropriate, osteotomy could prevent disease deterioration even more than 25 years after the operation. Osteonecrosis of the femoral head, Osteotomy, Transtrochanteric anterior rotational osteotomy, Collapse, Clinical outcome Introduction Once collapse occurs at the necrosis area of the femoral head, it usually progresses. Collapse causes incongruity and instability of the hip joint, and the progression of collapse causes incongruity and instability to increase and finally results in secondary osteoarthritis (Fig. The purpose of osteotomy for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is to prevent the progression of collapse and secondary osteoarthritis. A principle of osteotomy is to support weight-bearing with intact or live bone instead Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University, 3-1-1 Maidashi, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka 812-8582, Japan 79 80 S. The dashed line shows the osteonecrosis area of the femoral head from the anterior view of the necrotic bone and to restore the subluxated femoral head (Fig. In other words, osteotomy is on-site vascularized bone grafting with articular cartilage and with good congruency. Options of osteotomy for ONFH are transtrochanteric anterior or posterior rotational osteotomy (ARO or PRO) developed by Sugioka et al. The treatment option is chosen depending on the lesion of osteonecrosis or on where and how wide is the osteonecrosis area in the femoral head. Especially for young patients, oste- otomy is an important treatment option to be considered, and they are expected to survive for a long time after their hip osteotomy. Sugioka developed transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy Long-Term Experience of Osteotomy for Femoral Head Osteonecrosis 81 Fig. Sequential photographs of anterior rotation of the femoral head show a model of ante- rior rotational osteotomy (ARO) with 20° varus position and indicate how ARO results in weight-bearing with the living posterior surface of the femoral head (a–f). According to anterior rotation, the osteotomy line is 10° inclination away from the perpendicular to the neck (a) and 10° ret- roversion. The result is 20° varus position after anterior rotation of the femoral head (f) of the femoral head, so-called “rotational osteotomy” or “Sugioka’s osteotomy”. Anterior rotation of the femoral head with vascularity results in weight-bearing with the live posterior surface of the femoral head (Fig. Experience of Osteotomy in Kyushu University Between 1972 and 1979 The cases that survived more than 25 years after the operation were investigated to reconfirm the principles or the indication based upon our previous experience with osteotomy treatment for ONFH [1,2,4]. Patients and Methods Between 1972 and 1979, 128 patients with idiopathic ONFH underwent osteotomy in our department. Fifteen hips of 9 patients, who had been visiting our outpatient office and had their living hip joints more than 25 years after operation, were examined. One group includes the hips that had advanced or terminal osteoarthritis (OA) at the last follow-up. Age at operation and period after opera- tion were similar in both the groups.

Circulation Circulatory arrest is diagnosed by the absence of a palpable pulse in a large artery (carotid or femoral). Chest compressions at the standard rate (see Chapter 1) and ratio of 15:2 are given. Chest compression on a pregnant woman is made difficult by flared ribs, raised diaphragm, obesity, and breast hypertrophy. Because the diaphragm is pushed cephalad by the abdominal contents the hand position for chest compressions should similarly be moved up the sternum, although currently no guidelines suggest exactly how far.
