Brachial plexus avulsion injury is one of the major complications after traffic, especially motorcycle accidents and machine injuries. Intractable pain and paralysis of the affected limbs are the major neurological deficits. During the past 18 years, we have encountered and treated more than 500 cases with brachial plexus avulsion injuries. Dorsal root entry zone lesions (DREZ) made by thermoco...

we report a rare, severe case of traumatic globe avulsion and its assessment and management. a 60-year-old man was presented with complete globe avulsion following a facial trauma. left globe was luxated out of the orbit. no direct or indirect light reflexes or any eye movement could be noted. ct-scan showed complete laceration of the left optic nerve, globe protrusion and multiple orbital bone...

purpose: to report two cases of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (gpa) presented ocular manifestations. cases report: we report two cases of scleritis with red eye, one of them was a 30 years old female patient with saddle nose and positive c-anca and the other one was a 56 year-old female patient with lung cavitation and positive c-anca. both cases undergone corticosteroid and immunosuppressiv...

The patient was a 17-year-old adolescent male who was referred to a physical therapist for a chief complaint of anterior right hip pain. The physical therapist reviewed the patient's radiographs, which had been completed and interpreted as normal prior to referral, and determined that there were radiographic signs present that may be concerning for an avulsion fracture. Further evaluation throu...

Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fracture is uncommon in the paediatric population. Clinical examination in children can be difficult as they are often irritable and uncooperative. Moreover, subtle radiological signs on basic X-rays are also liable to be missed. Further imagings including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are crucial to rule out this rare c...

We present a case of disruption of the posterolateral corner of the knee with avulsion of the tendon of biceps femoris. Repair and reconstruction included an allogenic tendon graft to replace the posterior cruciate ligament. Surgery was followed by a complete common peroneal nerve palsy. Revision surgery revealed that the nerve had been displaced anteriorly by avulsion of the biceps tendon and ...
