Introduction: The combination of tibia plateau and shaft fractures, previously reported as type of “bifocal” tibia fracture, is a rare injury.1 The majority of tibia plateau fractures and bifocal tibia fractures occur after high-energy trauma.1,2 The treatment of these injuries varies depending on type, mechanism of injury, and patient characteristics. Case Presentation: We report the case of o...

OBJECTIVES Describe the diagnoses and the time to recovery of running-related injuries in novice runners. DESIGN Prospective cohort study on injured runners. METHOD This paper is a secondary data analysis of a 933-person cohort study (DANO-RUN) aimed at characterizing risk factors for injury in novice runners. Among those sustaining running-related injuries, the types of injuries and time t...

abstract  background: reamed interlocking intramedullary nailing of the tibia is a procedure  for the treatment of a non-infected tibial non:::::union:::::. the purpose of this clinical  study was to evaluate the outcome of this method as a treatment of tibial non:::::union:::::.  methods: twenty-nine patients with non:::::union::::: after initial therapy for tibial fracture  were retrospective...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to identify an increased posterior tibial slope as a possible risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament injury. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty patients were divided into two groups (with and without anterior cruciate ligament rupture). The posterior tibial slope on the lateral and medial condyles was measured by sagittal magnetic resonance imaging slices by...

Although epidemiologic studies of tibial plateau fractures have been conducted, none have included geographically defined populations or a validated fracture classification based on computed tomography (CT). The goals of this study were to provide up-to-date information on the incidence and basic epidemiology of tibial plateau fractures in a large unselected patient population and to report the...

INTRODUCTION Caudal cruciate ligament injury can be a complication following tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) (Slocum und Slocum, 1993) especially if the post-operative Tibial Plateau Angle (TPA) is less than 5 degree. We describe a case of negative TPA associated with partial cranial and caudal ligament rupture treated with a center of rotation of angulation (CORA) based cranial tibial...

Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is a condition affecting human adolescents in which there is partial separation of bone fragments from the tibial tuberosity at the site of insertion of the patellar ligament to the tibial tuberosity. Tensile trauma seems to be the most likely aetiology. Clinical signs in people consist of swelling and pain at the proximal part of the tibial tuberosity and around ...

BACKGROUND Intramedullary (IM) nailing is the treatment of choice among orthopaedic surgeons for tibial shaft fractures. However, because of the close proximity of the nail's insertion site to the anterior medial (AM) meniscal root on the tibial plateau, there is increased risk of iatrogenic injury to the meniscal root during nailing. PURPOSE To quantify the area of the AM meniscal root footp...
