Fractures, dislocations, and fracture-dislocations of the spine.

Spinopelvic Fixation of Sacroiliac Joint Fractures and Fracture-Dislocations: A Clinical 8 Years Follow-Up Study

  Background: Pelvic ring injuries and sacroiliac dislocations have significant impacts on patient’s quality of life. Several techniques have been described for posterior pelvic fixation. The current study has been designed to evaluate the spinopelvic method of fixation for sacroiliac fractures and fracture-dislocations.   Methods: Between January 2006 and December 2014, 14 patients with sacroi...

Dislocations & Fractures

tit r* -By F. J. Cotton. vv. a. Saunders & Co. Under this title Dr. Frederick Cotton has compiled a text-book on the subject of injuries to bones and joints which should certainly take its place as a standard work. The author has amply illustrated his subject, and in fact relies on illustration almost as much as letter press to make his subject clear, for in GOO odd pages there are 1,200 or mor...

Galeazzi fractures and dislocations.

In 1934, fractures of the middle and distal third of the radius associated with instability of the distal radial ulnar joint (DRUJ) were described by Galeazzi. This type of lesion is characterized by its unstable nature and the need for open reduction and internal fixation to achieve a satisfactory functional outcome. A high index of suspicion should be maintained by the surgeon, and a thorough...

Knee Fractures and Dislocations

Patella: accounts for 1% of all fractures, most common in ages 20-50 Femoral condyles: these usually fracture when the knee is stressed. Tibial eminence: caused by accidents, such as a blow to the proximal tibia when the knee is flexed, or if the knee is hyperextended during an accident. Usually seen in patients aged 8-14. Tibial tuberosity: more common in men than in women, and in younger pati...
