The patella is a motorical important part of the feline stifle joint. By gliding proximally and distally inside trochlear groove, its position continually changes during each step mobility. Stifle diseases like patellar luxation, cruciate ligament rupture, or tendon disease as well consecutive surgical interventions may cause dislocation.

The authors report the occurrence of an occult manubriosternal joint injury in the initial evaluation on a patient with a thoracic spine fracture (T9). This T9 fracture was diagnosed in a 37-year-old man and was associated with a partial neurological deficit. At the initial evaluation, the radiographs produced did not show the manubriosternal joint injury. During rehabilitation, after surgical ...

Lateral luxation of permanent teeth is a common injury, and the most frequent post-injury complications is Pulp Canal Obliteration (PCO) followed by pulp necrosis and root resorption. This report presents two different prognoses for symmetrical immature maxillary central incisors after lateral luxation in a 7-year-old boy. Both teeth were laterally luxated and the gingiva distal to the left inc...

AIM Dental injuries, especially luxation and avulsion, are common. Dental trauma can cause alveolar bone fracture that can lead to tooth loss and malocclusion. Single tooth alveolar bone fractures are difficult to identify unless it protrudes through the overlying mucosa and can be visualized. Pain, malocclusion, and tooth mobility provide signs of suspected alveolar bone fractures. Integrity o...

Luxation of the cervical spine, if looked for, is commonly observed at some stage during the longterm care of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. At the atlanto-axial level up to a quarter of patients admitted to hospital with rheumatoid arthritis can be expected to have luxations and about half will have subaxial luxations at two or more levels (Sharp and Purser, 1961; Conlon, Isdale, and Rose...

La luxation aiguë des tendons fibulaires est souvent diagnostiquée à tort comme entorse de la cheville. Nous rapportons un cas rare de luxation chronique des fibulaires chez un jeune patient suite à un accident de sport ayant bénéficié d'une réinsertion du rétinaculum supérieur. L'évolution à 6 mois a été bonne avec disparition de la sensation d'instabilité et la reprise des activités sportives...
