OBJECTIVE: To compare the incidence and onset time of epiretinal membranes after two surgical techniques to treat retinal detachment (retinopexy). METHOD: Non-experimental, retrospective, longitudinal and comparative study in patients treated of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment either with cryotherapy and scleral buckle (group 1) or vitrectomy techniques (group 2), without an epiretinal membrane at the moment of surgery. We compared the incidence of postoperative epiretinal membrane between groups, the median onset time (Mann-Whitney's U) and the proportions of eyes without an epiretinal membrane along time with a survival analysis (log-rank)...

Many surgical techniques have been used to address unstable distal third clavicle fractures. Complications and the need for hardware removal are still a concern. We propose a surgical technical using high-strength sutures to restore vertical and horizontal stability in Neer type II and Neer type V distal-third clavicle fractures. It has been used in three cases; two type V and one type II. In all cases, bone healing was achieved uneventfully and all patients resumed their pre-injury activities including sports at sixmonths postoperatively...

INTRODUCTION: Total Hip Arthroplsty (THA) using uncemented stems is a popular practice in the last decades. The implant survivorship is crtitical and a less than 10% revision at 10 years is been propesed for commercialization and use. OBJECTIVE: To analyse the clinicoradiological results of an uncemented hydroxiapatite covered wedge stem with a 5 years minimum follow up. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Prospective study, patients aged from 21-75years were included...

BACKGROUND: Historically, cervical cancer in early stages has been treated with radical hysterectomy and radiotherapy with no option in keeping the uterine-ovarian function. Since two decades ago, evidence shows these cases are candidates for radical trachelectomy, a procedure capable of preserving the fertility without affecting the oncological outcome. OBJECTIVE: To analyze reproductive results among patients treated with radical trachelectomy, in a reference center from the northeast of Mexico...
