Anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint with ipsilateral humerus shaft fracture is a very rare injury. Until July 2006 only 18 cases have been reported in the literature. Here we report a case of Anterior Shoulder dislocation with greater tuberosity and shaft of humerus fracture. The patient was treated by Open reduction and internal fixation of the shaft fracture followed by closed reductio...

A 7 yr old spayed female Chihuahua presented for right hind limb lameness and reduced stifle range of motion. Radiographs showed a marked patella baja of the right stifle and evidence of a previous surgery to correct a medial patellar luxation. A tibial tuberosity osteotomy was performed to allow proximal translation of the tibial tuberosity, which was stabilized with a tibial tuberosity advanc...

We evaluated the outcome in a series of patients with recurrent patellar dislocation who had either medial transfer of the tibial tuberosity and lateral release or an isolated lateral release as the primary treatment. The decision to use one or other procedure was based on a pre-operative distance between the tibial tuberosity to the trochlear groove (TTTG) of less than 10 mm to include the tib...

Introduction The hamstring muscles are frequently implicated in posterior thigh pain due to strains. The hamstring muscles are the three most superficial muscles that span the posterior thigh, and consist of the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. The long head of biceps femoris originates from the inferiomedial aspect of the ischial tuberosity and inserts into the head of the ...

Understanding of the anatomy of the proximal part of the fifth metatarsal helps to differentiate the types of fractures and recognize variables affecting healing. The proximal part of the fifth metatarsal includes the head, the metaphyseal region, the tuberosity and the proximal part of diaphysis, with the tuberosity being the most proximal and plantar structure. The proximal part of the 5th me...

The rotator cuff is comprised of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor muscles and tendons. The four muscles of the rotator cuff act as stabilizers of the glenohumeral joint. The supraspinatus is primarily a shoulder abductor. The supraspinatus muscle originates along the dorsal surface of the scapula. The muscle fibers course in a lateral orientation and converge to ...
