BACKGROUND Medial tibial stress syndrome is a common overuse injury in weightbearing, physically active individuals and in athletes. Most research associated with this condition is primarily based on static foot and lower-extremity measurements. METHODS A cross-sectional design was used to assess a set of static and dynamic measurements to determine which anatomical factors (limb length, ankl...

A series of 29 patients with fractures of the tibial plateau were treated by means of a cast-brace. There were seven wedge fractures of the lateral tibial condyle, two dicondylar fractures and 20 compression fractures involving the lateral tibial plateau. The seven patients with wedge fractures were treated by skin or skeletal traction, followed as soon as possible by flexion exercises for the ...

BACKGROUND The soft tissues injury in periarticular fractures of the lower extremities determines the proper time to perform bone fixation. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the intra and interobserver agreement in the Tscherne classification. METHODS This is a descriptive, prospective study for patients admitted to the Pablo Tobón Uribe Hospital (PTUH) with tibial plateau or...

Avulsion fractures of tibial spine, leading to discontinuity of anterior cruciate ligament fibers has been well described in literature in both pediatric and adult population. These fractures are also called as tibial eminence fractures or ACL avulsion fractures. They represent a variant of anterior cruciate ligament injury. Poncet in 1895 was probably the first person to document these types o...

Salter-Harris type V fracture is a very rare injury in the immature skeleton. In most cases, it remains undiagnosed and untreated. We report a case of genu recurvatum deformity in a 15-year-old boy caused by a Salter-Harris type V fracture of the proximal tibial physis. The initial X-ray did not reveal fracture. One year after injury, genu recurvatum deformity was detected associated with signi...

The neuromuscular function of the lower extremity in 40 normal and 100 anterior cruciate ligament-deficient volunteers was evaluated by physical examination, KT-1000 arthrometer measurements, isokinetic strength and endurance testing, subjective functional assessment, and an anterior tibial translation stress test. A specially designed apparatus delivered an anteriorly directed step force to th...

Background: Complex fractures of the tibial plateau are associated with considerable displacement of the articular surface together with either open wounds or severe soft tissue injury. Adequate Condition of the soft tissue is an important prerequisite before reconstruction of the tibial plateau. Conventional treatment by open reduction and internal fixation by plate and screws necessitates ext...

The “deep lateral femoral notch” sign refers to an osteochondral impaction injury of the lateral femoral condyle that is associated with disruption of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). At the time of injury, the tibia translates anteriorly relative to the femur resulting in an impaction injury of the lateral femoral condyle against the posterior tibial plateau. Identification of the “deep” ...

Although a large body of evidence has shown that peripheral nerve injury usually induces neuropathic pain, there are also clinical studies demonstrating that injury of the sural nerve, which almost only innervates skin, fails to do so. The underlying mechanism, however, is largely unknown. In the present work, we found that the transection of either the gastrocnemius-soleus (GS) nerve innervati...

Background: Posterior tibial plateau fracture (PTPF) is a relatively uncommon injury. This kind of appears confusing on initial radiographs because the small displacement, so it special injury pattern. Aim and objectives: aim study was to evaluate safety efficacy via posterior approach in shearing fracture. Subjects methods: The prospective carried out Department Orthopaedic surgery, Al-azhar u...
