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 ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this observational study was to explore whether patients with traumatic peripheral nerve injury of the hand perceive referred sensations; sensations that are perceived to emanate from other areas of the body than the part being stimulated. Referred sensations have been reported following amputation, somatosensory deafferentation, local anaesthesia, stroke, brachial plexus a...

Degloving soft-tissue injuries are a form of avulsion of soft tissue, in which an extensive portion of skin and subcutaneous tissue detaches from the underlying fascia and muscles. Such injuries can affect every part of the body, but in particular the limbs (both upper and lower), trunk, face, and genitalia (Wójcicki, P., Wojtkiewicz, W. and Drozdowski, P., (2011)); [1,2,3] and can be associate...

Figure 1. Distal thumb traumatic avulsion amputation .

trauma to primary teeth can lead to devastating sequels in development of permanent successors. the disturbance may range from enamel hypoplasia and/or hypo-calcification to arrest of dental bud development. crown dilaceration of permanent teeth is one of the consequences of trauma to deciduous teeth mainly due to intrusion or avulsion. this report presents a mandibular central incisor with dil...

Reports of isolated avulsion fracture at the planter lateral base of the first metatarsal without injury of the tarsometatarsal joint are very rare. A 24 year old man sustained an avulsion fracture at the plantar lateral base of the first metatarsal. Normal alignment of metatarsal bones and tarsometatarsal joint was maintained. In this paper, we describe internal fixation of the displaced fragm...

Avulsion injuries of the adductor longus muscle tendon are rare and a challenge to manage especially in athletes. There has been little published literature on the outcome of conservative and operative treatment for these injuries. We report the first case of an acute adductor longus avulsion injury which was surgically repaired in a professional equestrian rider. Return to full preinjury funct...
