Open tibia plateau fracture with intra-osseous dislocation of the patella and quadriceps tendon rupture: a case report

Delayed Diagnosis of a Popliteal Artery Rupture after a Posteromedial Tibia Plateau Fracture-Dislocation Case Report

Vascular injury in closed tibial plateau fractures is sometimes diffi cult to diagnose because radiological examination might reveal only minor disengagement of the tibial plateaus and a coexistant compartment syndrome may overlap the clinical signs.1,2,8,9 This article presents a case of a medial split fracture-dislocation with an associate rupture of the popliteal artery that went undiagnosed...

Ipsilateral Rupture of Quadriceps Tendon with Distal Tibia Fracture: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Traumatic rupture of the quadriceps tendon by itself is not an uncommon clinical condition. However, its association with concurrent ipsilateral closed distal tibia oblique fracture is exceedingly rare with only one previously reported case in English literature. The dual diagnosis of this atypical combination of injury may be masked by pain and immobilization of the more obvious fracture and m...

Open posterior dislocation of the knee with rupture of the patellar tendon and a tibial plateau fracture

Knee dislocations are rare injuries. They represent a severe soft tissue injury following high-energy blunt trauma. We report a case of open posterior knee dislocation with rupture of the patellar tendon and a fracture of the tibial plateau. The treatment was surgical and consisted of reduction of the knee dislocation, fixation of the tibial plateau fracture by lag screws, and transosseous sutu...

A case report of spontaneous rupture of the quadriceps tendon

Spontaneous quadriceps tendon rupture is a rare occurrence in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), which is less common in adolescents. We first reported a spontaneous unilateral rupture in a young patient with PHPT.
