The adolescent avulsion of the lesser tuberosity of the humerus has historically been considered as very rare. The youngest patient reported in the literature is 11 years old. We report a case of a 9-year-old girl who suffered a subscapularis tendon tear with an occult avulsion of the lesser tuberosity. Late repair restored function. Despite that late repair in this present case resulted in exc...

The aim of this study is to determine morphometric measurements difference radial head (RH) types. 49 dry bones were included in the study. After determining types radius, made with digital calliper. parameters determined as length height transverse diameter RH, anterior-posterior tuberosity and height, ulnar notch. As result RH classification, it has been that; 20 had irregular, 15 oval 14 rou...

Stifle trauma can be a common cause of lameness in the athletic horse. Traumatic fractures of the tibial tuberosity and surgical treatment with internal fixation has been previously reported. However, implant failure and catastrophic fracture of the tibia are inherent risks associated with recovery from general anesthesia following repair. To this author’s knowledge, there is no report in the l...

The objective here was to report two rare cases of anterior avulsion fracture of the tibial tuberosity in adolescents. Case 1 was a 15-year-old male who became injured through landing on his left knee and presented limited extension. Case 2 was a 16-year-old basketball player who presented sudden pain in the right knee and functional incapacity, after a jump. Imaging examinations (radiographs a...

Background: The aim of this study was to assess differences in fracture morphology and displacement betweenisolated greater tuberosity (GT) fractures (i.e. fractures of the greater tuberosity without other fractures of the proximalhumerus) with and without shoulder dislocation utilizing quantitative 3-dimensional CT imaging.Methods: Thirty-four CT-scans of isolated greater tuberosity fractures ...

Osgood-schlatter disease, non-articular osteochondrosis, is characterized by pain of anterior tibial tuberosity (TTA), which mainly affects the growing adolescent sportsman. It corresponds to "chronic lesions, due to microtrauma of repeated tractions on the area of insertion of the patellar tendon at the level of the anterior tibial tuberosity". This condition remains benign if the young patien...

BACKGROUND Blockade of the sciatic nerve is necessary for complete analgesia of the lower extremity using peripheral nerve blocks. We identified the sciatic nerve in relation to the ischial tuberosity in fresh cadaver dissections as well as in patients to compare sciatic nerve blockade using the conventional approach versus our experimental approach. Specifically, we tested the hypothesis that ...
