Pediatric elbow fractures can be challenging to manage. Compression of the medial column in Gartland Type I and Type II supracondylar fractures must be reduced to prevent varus deformity. Gartland Type III fractures may be stabilized with two lateral pins or a medial lateral cross-pin technique. Non-displaced lateral condyle fractures require vigilant follow-up. Open reduction of displaced late...

abstract we report a 71 year-old patient with intertrochanteric fracture who had been managed with dhs and her healed fracture complicated by a subcapital femoral neck fracture. a subcapital femoral neck fracture complicating a healed intertrochanteric fracture is rare but catastrophic event. such cases are managed in a hetereogenous manner, i.e. there exists a mixture of cases treated by eithe...

The pain started immediately after he kicked a ball during a football game. At that time, he was unable to continue his activity. Palpation produced localized tenderness at the right anterior superior ili...

AIM To evaluate and compare the correlation between sagittal condylar guidance obtained by protrusive interocclusal records mounted on semi-adjustable articulator with panoramic and Lateral cephalogram radiograph tracings in dentulous population. MATERIALS AND METHODS One-hundred twenty dentulous subjects between age group of 20-40 years, free of signs and symptoms of any temporomandibular di...

RATIONALE Intercondylar fracture of the distal humerus is an extremely rare injury in children, especially in those under 8 years of age. To our best knowledge, there have been 55 reported cases of this fracture type in children in the English literature, 12 of which involved children under 8 years of age. PATIENT CONCERNS We report a case of intercondylar fracture of the distal humerus in a7...

Objective: To present the clinical and radiological results of treatment of periprosthetic fractures of the femur after hip and knee replacements. Subjects and Methods: Thirty-four patients (8 males and 26 females) with 34 fractures of the femur complicating hip and knee replacements are the subjects of this report. In 21 cases, the fracture affected the femur after hip replacement, and in 13 c...

BACKGROUND The application of indirect reduction techniques has improved fracture-healing and reduced the need for bone-grafting compared with the outcomes of older, direct reduction techniques. We investigated the results of such indirect reduction techniques for the treatment of periprosthetic femoral shaft fractures. METHODS Fifty consecutive patients with a femoral shaft fracture about a ...

a 25-year-old afghan male was presented to the emergency department with femoral shaft fracture following fall from the height. the patient was subjected to femoral nerve block and general anesthesia. first try for performing nerve block led to vascular puncture. therefore, the needle was removed and re-inserted 1 cm lateral to first puncture site and dex injected slowly with aspiration check a...
