Anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint with ipsilateral humerus shaft fracture is a very rare injury. Until July 2006 only 18 cases have been reported in the literature. Here we report a case of Anterior Shoulder dislocation with greater tuberosity and shaft of humerus fracture. The patient was treated by Open reduction and internal fixation of the shaft fracture followed by closed reductio...

Rigid stability has long been the accepted major principle for treatment of non-union of shaft fractures (MUller, Allgower and Willenegger 1965; B#{246}hler1966; MUller 1966; KUntscher 1967). Until recently, methods of gaining stability have usually combined internal fixation by osteosyntheses and external fixation by plaster or traction (Boyd, Anderson and Johnston 1966). These methods have th...

3 Rady Children’s Hospital, UCSD, San Diego, CA Many cast wedging techniques have been discussed in the literature; however, to our knowledge, these techniques have not been experimentally validated. This paper illustrates a technique and measurement methodology for reproducible wedging and validates the geometric approach to predict the correct wedge size. Fracture deformities of saw bone mode...

BACKGROUND Ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures are rare, and currently available treatment methods each have their own benefits and limitations. Although reconstruction intramedullary nails have been considered to be effective alternative, clinical outcomes vary significantly in reports. METHODS Thirty-seven consecutive adult patients with 37 combined fractures were treated with reco...

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is common, with >100,000 procedures performed each year in the United States. Several factors are associated with failure, including poor surgical technique, graft incorporation failure, overly aggressive rehabilitation, and trauma. Tibial shaft fracture is also common and frequently requires operative intervention. Failure to reestablish the anat...

When fracture of the femoral shaft and dislocation of the hip occur in the same limb the dislocation is often missed. In this paper we offer a way to avoid this diagnostic pitfall. It has been estimated that combined femoral shaft fracture and hip dislocation occur once in every 100,000 cases of fracture (Wiltberger, Mitchell and Hedrick 1948). In a century and a half a total of eighty-one such...

INTRODUCTION Anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint with an ipsilateral fracture of the humeral shaft is a rare injury which may require demanding technical skills. CASE PRESENTATION A 33 years old male sustained a work accident. Radiographs showed an anterior dislocation of the shoulder with a transverse fracture of the middle third of the humeral shaft on the same side. The dislocation ...

Background/Aim: Pathological fractures are rare, suspicious and in some cases mentioned as the first sign of a malignant tumor. We present an uncommon case with pathological fracture tibia diaphysis severe hyperparathyroidism. Case Report: report female patient who was referred to emergency department history progressively worsening pain lower left leg inability fully bear weight. No trauma or ...

BACKGROUND Spiral fractures of the tibia are virtually homogeneous with regard to their pathomorphism. The differences that are seen concern the level of fracture of the fibula, and, to a lesser extent, the level of fracture of the tibia, the length of fracture cleft, and limb shortening following the trauma. While conventional radiographs provide sufficient information about the pathomorphism ...
