Objective This study aims to describe the surgical approach to such injuries and to present the clinical and functional outcomes obtained in a cohort of patients. Methods This is an observational retrospective study that included 153 patients with acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation, operated between 1999 and 2015. Clinical evaluation included the following outcomes: Constant functional...

Cervical facet fractures and dislocations represent approximately 6% of all cervical spine fractures.1 The clinical spectrum of these injuries ranges from patient being neurologically intact to complete neurological deficits. They can be unilateral or bilateral and may be associated with subluxation or dislocations. The unilateral facet dislocations are produced because of flexion, hyperextensi...

BACKGROUND/AIM Recurrent instability of the shoulder joint is frequently difficult to differentiate from diseased or injured rotator cuff or tendon of the forearm flexor (m. biceps brachii). Shoulder joint arthroscopy has been only recently introduced into instable shoulder joint lesion examination. The aim of this study was to present and analyse an arthroscopic finding on instable shoulder jo...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The shoulder joint has the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body and as a result is particularly susceptible to dislocation and subluxation. Recurrent instability is a common complication after traumatic shoulder dislocation in young people, with rates as high as 100% in skeletally immature patients and 96% in for adolescents. Treatment for shoulder dislocation has...

Larsen syndrome is a rare condition that causes multiple large joint dislocations and characteristic flattened facies. We present a case of a patient with Larsen syndrome with a conductive hearing loss due to ossicular malposition/dislocation. We discuss the aetiopathogenesis of hearing loss in Larsen syndrome.

In a chart review 31 traumatic knee dislocations were identified in 30 patients during an eight year period (1992-2000).Fifteen dislocations (48.4%) were posterior,seven anterior,eight occult and one medial.out of the five cases of vascular injuries three happened with posterior dislocations and in four patients associated ipsilateral limb injuries were present .the general incidence of simulta...

We report a case of chronic dislocation of proximal interphalangeal joint with mallet finger.

Twenty-seven patients have been operated on for total replacement of the temporomandibular joint because of ankylosis due to trauma, arthritis, neoplasm, infection, or pain. One prosthesis had to be taken out because of gross infection due to Staphylococcus albus, 2 more were removed for pain and dislocation of the prosthesis, and 1 was removed because of erosion through the skin. The remaining...

Simultaneous dislocation of both interphalangeal (IP) joints of same finger is a highly uncommon finding. And dislocation of metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint along with interphalangeal joints of thumb are reported in literatures if, scarcely. Here we are reporting the three cases, comprising of double dislocation of IP joints in little finger in two patients and simultaneous MCP and IP joint dis...

We present two cases of spontaneous dislocation of the hip joint due to chronic osteomyelitis of the upper femur. Spontaneous hip dislocations occur in certain pathological conditions such as poliomyelitis (Ingram, 1980), cerebral palsy (Howard et al., 1985), osteomyelitis and neurofibromatosis.
