'Verto-sign': an indicator of increased operative complexity in pelvic trauma surgery
Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
|October 20, 2010
Abstract:
We demonstrate an important, newly defined, radiographic sign present in three acetabular trauma cases, named the 'Verto-sign' which, if present, indicates a particularly complex both column fracture pattern. The 'Verto-sign' is visible on the anteroposterior pelvic radiograph in a rare subtype of both column fractures and is created by the greater sciatic notch fracture fragment rotating internally or externally. The 'Verto-sign' appears, as its name suggests, like a V-shape present above the acetabulum.

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...
01:22Appendicitis-I: Introduction
The appendix, a small, narrow, blind tube extending from the inferior part of the cecum, is widely regarded as a vestigial organ, having lost much of its original function through evolution. Despite its diminished role, the appendix can become inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis.
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...
