OBJECTIVES: To implement a minimal invasive approach in cochlear implant surgery for children and adults. In order to decrease surgical complications and morbidity with the surgery. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: During a 1-year period, 12 consecutive patients (5 female and 7 male; age range, 1.5 to 78 years; mean age, 14.5 years), who had cochlear implantation (1 Nucleus and 11 Clarion) through a new surgical approach, were prospectively evaluated. RESULTS: The surgical approach was accomplished in all the patients with no major complications. The mean surgical time was 3.2 hours and the mean time between surgery and process of programming was 2.7 weeks. CONCLUSION: The surgical trauma and postoperatory edema was decreased and allowed programming of the implant in a shorter period of time.

Aim: To estimate rates of fracture-related infection (FRI) and nonunion and assess the healthcare burden associated with FRI among patients with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for Type III open tibial shaft fractures (TSFs). Methods: Patients with type III TSF requiring ORIF were identified using MarketScan® Database. Healthcare utilization and total costs were compared using generalized linear models. Results: The rates of FRI and nonunion were 35.99 and 36.94%, respectively, at 365 days. Patients with FRI had a significantly higher rate of readmission, emergency room visit and total healthcare costs compared with patients without FRI. Conclusion: Patients with an ORIF procedure for Type III TSF have a high risk of FRI and nonunion and; FRI significantly increased the healthcare burden.

Stable Internal Fixation

Thyroid cartilage fractures due to external blunt trauma have typically been thought to occur in patients over the age of 40. Lack of mineralization of the cartilage has been considered to be the protective mechanism. Our experience with laryngeal injuries has demonstrated that younger persons are indeed at risk for thyroid cartilage fractures, and that these injuries may be easily overlooked. Although these fractures do not lead to laryngeal stenosis if untreated, they may cause noticeable phonatory changes. Fixation of these fractures is difficult because of the usual soft character of the unmineralized cartilage, prompting us to adopt a wire-tube fixation technique. This technique has been uniformly successful in restoring the anatomic contour of the thyroid cartilage, and our results appear to justify open reduction of these moderately displaced or angulated thyroid cartilage fractures.
