The fixation of the osteotomy can fail due to the weak osteoporotic bone. The LCP pediatric hip plate with its good grip makes these procedures safe. The aims of the present study are to evaluate the radiological outcome of proximal femoral osteotomy that was fixed with the pediatric LCP in cerebral palsy patients and to raise safety issues regarding its low rate of complications.Patients and Methods: Sixteen patients with cerebral palsy who were operated in our department were included in this retrospective study. Data collected from medical charts and X-ray measurements retrospectively reviewed.Results: In total, 16 patients (21 hips), ie, 9 males and 7 females, were included in this analysis. The mean age at the time of the index surgery was 11.9 years (5.9– 18.0). The mean follow-up period was 4.78 years (1.5– 8.0). Five patients had bilateral hip involvement and 11 had unilateral involvement. All patients had spastic cerebral palsy. The mean values of varus correction and de-rotation were 25° (0°– 45°) and 35° (20°– 50°), respectively. Neck shaft angle and the Reimer’s migration index were significantly improved postoperatively (p< 0.01 for both). Seventeen hips showed comp

Web-based time-sheet system is a web application that provides an automated method of tracking work time for employees by enabling the manger to track their work time, this system helps in assigning projects to specific employees, also it measures the performance and productivity, as well as providing an automated method of calculating salary for employees based on their total work time. The system, in addition, provides a direct communication among the employees and the manger. One important advantage of the system is that each employee can log into his account to do the assigned projects. An employee, a manager and an admin have different prerogatives according to their roles. Besides, the system has been built in asp.net, C#, Ajax and JavaScript, and using SQL server database. Web-based timesheet system has been successfully tested at Rami Awad Establishment with high level of satisfaction as the questionnaire results showed.
