Brachial plexus injury is a rare complication of anterior dislocation of the shoulder: nine cases have been reported in the literature. We report a unique case of anterior dislocation of the shoulder with associated brachial plexus palsy involving the posterior and medial cords. This is the first reported case of such an injury. Previous case reports of brachial plexus palsy in association with...

Shoulder dislocation is the commonest dislocation presenting to the emergency department, anterior being more common than posterior. The latter being less common has a tendency of being missed; this is supported by many cases in the literature. Kocher's method is one of the many methods of reducing anterior dislocation; there are many reported complications of employing this method.To the best ...

Bilateral traumatic hip dislocation is a very rare condition. Simultaneous anterior and posterior traumatic dislocation of both hips is even more unusual. A case report of a bilateral asymmetrical hip joint dislocation with bilateral acetabular fracture in a 28-year-old man is presented.

INTRODUCTION Anterior dislocation of shoulder is commonest dislocation one encounters in day to day Orthopaedic practice. But bilateral shoulder dislocations are relatively uncommon frequently posterior and secondary to violent muscle contraction. Simultaneous bilateral anterior dislocations of shoulder following trauma is rare occurrence. CASE REPORT 35 year old male presented to emergency d...

INTRODUCTION Anterior elbow dislocation is an infrequent lesion, produced by direct trauma to the proximal ulna after a fall on the elbow in flexion and injury to the neurovascular bundle is not infrequent. Authors report a case of acute anterior dislocation of the elbow joint with neurovascular injury. CASE REPORT A 30-year-old male admitted with a history of accidental fall followed by pain...

intervertebral joints, with contusion of the cord by the neural arch at the moment of injury, and that spontaneous reduction accounted for the subsequent normal radiographic appearances. This theory was criticised by Cramer and McGowan (1944), and Barnes (1948) showed that a posterior dislocation in flexion that was capable of spontaneous reduction did not produce sufficient narrowing of the sp...

OBJECTIVES To assess the results of inferior capsular shift for multidirectional instability of the shoulder in athletes. METHODS Multidirectional instability was surgically corrected in 53 shoulders in 47 athletes who engaged in contact sports. A history of major trauma was found in eight patients, the others having had minor episodes. Before surgery, all patients had complex combinations of...

Vocal fold paralysis and arytenoid dislocation are the differential symptoms for unilateral vocal movement disorder. However, their diagnosis is difficult. To diagnose dislocation, it necessary to understand movements characteristic of paralysis. A particularly important finding passive gliding that displaced in cranial direction during phonation. The presence this diagnostic rather than disloc...
