Femoral Popliteal Bypass A femoral popliteal bypass is a procedure to go around (bypass) a blocked artery in the leg. The artery may become blocked with plaque, which is a buildup of fat. Arteries carry oxygen and nutrients to the body. The femoral artery is in the upper part of the leg. It is the main artery that carries blood to the leg. Popliteal arteries are in the back of the knee. These arteries take blood to the lower part of the leg. This procedure uses a graft to bypass the blocked…

repair them; I remember him saying it’s either a straight forward case or a complicated one. Ours was the second type of transplant. It was mesmerizing and breathtaking to see how the kidney became viable and pinkish after he connected it to the external iliac artery and vein. I enjoyed observing the surgeon while checking for any bleeding at the suture lines to make sure everything went smooth. I remember the next day when we were rounding and visiting the gentleman in his room, he was super…

Suture-button fixation for tibiofibular syndesmosis injuries is a relatively new surgical technique thought to provide semirigid dynamic stabilization. However, adequate information is still not available and there are controversies as to whether it provides enough fixation for syndesmosis injuries. Optimally directed suture-button fixation brings physiologic dynamic stabilization of the ankle syndesmosis. Controlled laboratory study. Stabilization of the ankle syndesmosis fixed by a…

REVIEW Fractures have been recognized and treated as long as recorded history. History of fracture and its knowledge dates back to Egyptian mummies of 2700BC. For thousands of years the only option for the management of fractures was some form of external splintage. 5000 years ago, the Egyptians used palm bark and linen bandages for management of fractures. Clay and lime mixed with…

muscles, nerves and blood vessels, anatomical reduction maneuvers and surgical fixations are most important for best surgical reconstruction. The aim of our study is less invasive posterior approach, small incision, minimal bluntly splitting of gluteus minimus muscle,less soft tissue and muscle injury, less blood vessels injury; to give the patient rigid fixation and functional hip, minimizing the complications and fixation in short period. So that, the postoperative mobilization of the patient…

Hawthorne’s usage of “The Leech” in his description of Chillingworth signifies the parasitic, life-giving, and all-consuming fixation of a repudiated lover to extract truth from and enact revenge upon the one who has wronged him (Hawthorne 80). A parasite feeds through inflicting harm, and through its feeding, removes something of value from its host. Roger Chillingworth’s quest to find truth and his ability to “search into the minister’s … interior” parallels a leech’s need to extract blood…
