Radial neuropathy is frequently associated with fracture of the middle third of the humerus owing to the course of the nerve adjacent to the humeral shaft. The prevalence varies from 2 to 18% of humeral fractures. The therapeutic management is still controversial. Some authors recommend initial surgical exploration, whereas others prefer observation and intervention only if the injured nerve fa...

We present the case of a 22-year-old male with longstanding progressive fatigue, weakness and pain around his hips due to an undiagnosed parathyroid adenoma. The resultant primary hyperparathyroidism ultimately caused pathologic fractures. He was admitted to the hospital for further assessment and excision of the parathyroid adenoma. A few days after admission, he fell down while walking and wa...

We report five examples of physeal widening in four children with myelomeningocele. In all cases there was rapid clinical resolution with the use of the patients' normal orthoses and minor limitation of activity, and there was no evidence of early epiphyseal closure or growth disturbance. We suggest that recognition of the pathological process before fracture occurred may explain the rapid retu...

RATIONALE We report a case of a hepatitis B virus (HBV)-positive patient with preexisting bone disease who developed tenofovir-induced Fanconi syndrome and subsequently sustained pathologic fracture. To our best knowledge, this is the first report in the English literature about pathologic femoral fracture due to tenofovir-induced Fanconi syndrome in patient with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). The ...

INTRODUCTION Epidemiological study of femoral fractures has been dominated by proximal fractures. Distal fracture requires equal attention for correct management. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective study in 12 French hospital centres between June 1st, 2011 and May 31st, 2012 recruited cases of non-pathologic distal femoral fracture in patients over 15 years of age without ipsilateral knee pro...
