Technique variations in liposuction surgery.

Abstract

My travels were not a disappointment because I had the privilege of seeing the little personality differences in each office--the tenor of the staff, the physical plant and how it was decorated, how important lunch is, how it is necessary for some to start early. But for being able to report the one and only best way to do liposuction, I can only say there is no such thing. It is proper for each physician to believe he or she is doing the procedure correctly. We may take our own little technique variations too seriously; they probably do not much matter.

The role of gait analysis in the orthopaedic management of ambulatory cerebral palsy.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The literature was reviewed to describe the role of gait analysis in the orthopaedic management of ambulatory children with cerebral palsy and examine the current best evidence to support these roles. RECENT FINDINGS: Gait laboratory analysis is superior to visual or observational analysis of gait because it provides an objective record of gait that is able to quantify the magnitude of deviations of pathologic gait from normal and also explain these abnormalities. Recognizable gait patterns can be classified and used for making treatment decisions, the effectiveness of which can be assessed using gait analysis as a measure of gait outcomes. There are many sources of variability, however, including patients themselves, the gait laboratories and testing processes, interpretation of data and surgeons' surgical recommendations. SUMMARY: Although gait analysis has been shown to alter decision making, there is little evidence that the decisions based on gait analysis lead to better outcomes. Consequently, clinical gait analysis remains controversial, with wide variation in the rates of utilization of gait analysis in the management of children with ambulatory cerebral palsy. The time is ripe for clinical trials and cohort studies to provide the evidence to establish the appropriate utilization of this technology.
