People having an epileptic crisis present to the hospital with an altered mental status and generalised fatigue. The most common orthopaedic pathology associated to epilepsy is the undiagnosed posterior shoulder dislocation. These same patients often complain from back pain that is often neglected and misdiagnosed as muscular contracture following the epilepsy crisis. We describe here the case ...
متن کاملTotal L1 Vertebrectomy With T12-to-L2 Fusion in a Case of Burst Fracture
Methods: A 26-year-old male patient presented with a posttraumatic L1 vertebra fracture and total paraplegia. Three weeks after corpectomy plus otogenic bone grafting plus instrumentation by an anterolateral approach, the patient, who had 3-column injury, developed a treatment-resistant deep wound infection. In the fourth week of antibiotic treatment after the onset of the infection, there was ...
متن کاملInvestigation of thoracolumbar T12-L1 burst fracture mechanism using finite element method.
A finite element model of the T12-L1 motion segment was subjected to dynamic vertical impact to investigate vertebral burst fracture mechanism at the thoracolumbar junction. A rigid ball was directed vertically towards a rigid plate fixed on top of the T12 vertebral body to simulate the axial impact. The results show that upon impact, the T12 vertebra exhibited a vibratory motion. At its maximu...
متن کاملMetacarpal stress fracture in amateur tennis player – an uncommon fracture☆
Most stress fractures occur in the lower limbs and are rarely observed in the upper limbs. The second metacarpal is the longest of all the metacarpals and has the largest base, articulating with the trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and third metacarpal. In athletes, stress fractures in non-weight bearing joints are uncommon. Therefore, the shaft of the second metacarpal bone undergoes a higher l...
متن کاملSpontaneous resolution of spinal canal deformity after burst-dispersion fracture.
We reviewed the records of 28 patients with 30 burst-dispersion spinal fractures treated since the introduction of CT facilities in Western Australia. Twenty-five patients showed spinal canal deformity and stenosis with bone fragments protruding into the canal on the initial scan. Of these, 22 patients were treated nonsurgically. Fifteen of the conservatively treated patients were available for...
