Atraumatic fracture of proximal first phalanx

Avulsion fracture of proximal phalanx 3rd finger

Long-term objective results of proximal phalanx fracture treatment.

BACKGROUND Proximal phalanx fractures are common. In this study, our preferred methods regarding the treatment of proximal phalanx fractures and their long-term objective results are presented. METHODS Between October 2001 and March 2010, in the Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Department of Düzce Medical Faculty, we treated 23 patients with 32 proximal phalanx fractures. Stable f...

Stress fracture of the second proximal phalanx of the foot in teenage athletes: Unrecognized location of stress fracture

Background Adolescent athletes are a high-risk population for stress fractures. We report four cases of stress fractures of the second proximal phalanx, which had not been previously diagnosed as the location of the stress fracture of the foot, in teenage athletes. Case report All fractures were on the plantar side of the proximal phalangeal base, and the oblique images of the plain radiograp...

Juxta-epiphysial Fracture of the Terminal Phalanx

The purpose of this paper is to lay stress upon an injury which, although not uncommon, seems to be inadequately described. Consequently it is often improperly treated. In Bunnell (1964) there is an illustration of displaced epiphysis of the distal phalanx, but in treatment no differentiation is made from the more common open crushing injury. Watson-Jones (1956) classified the injury as one of ...

Effects of Hip Geometry on Fracture Patterns of Proximal Femur

  Background: Some studies have previously shown that geometry of proximal femur can affect the probability of fracture and type of fracture. It happens since the geometry of the proximal femur determines how a force is applied to its different parts. In this study, we have compared proximal femur’s geometric characteristics in femoral neck (FNF), intertrochanteric (ITF) and Subtrochanteric (ST...
