dear editor,we have greatly enjoyed reading the case report entitled “‘femoral condyle fracture during revision of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: case report and a review of literature in the issue of arch bone jt surg. 2015;3(2) with great interest. we would like to commend the authors for their detailed and valuable work. although various case reports have described postoperative ...

Osteoporotic bone, structurally altered because of reduction of bone mineral density and quality deterioration, can easily head for fracture after minimum mechanical stress.THE MOST COMMON SITES OF FRACTURE, OTHER THAN SPINE AND HIP, ARE, IN DECREASING ORDER: distal radius, forearm, proximal humerus, other femoral sites, ribs, pelvis, tibia and fibula, metatarsal bone and calcaneum. The role of...

J.H., a man aged 24 years, was knocked down by a car and admitted to hospital on January 13, 1961. His injuries were:a comminuted fracture of ,he mid-shaft of the right femur, an open comminuted fracture of the shaft of the right tibia, a fractured right fibula, a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee, and a fracture of the base of the terminal phalanx of the right hallux....

 We present an exceedingly rare case of left Monteggia-Galeazzi fracture-dislocation and right Monteggiadistal radius fracture occurring simultaneously in a 20-year old male patient who had fallen 13 meters from a building. The combination of Monteggia and Galeazzi fracture-dislocation in the same forearm is very rare and, to the best of our knowledge, simultaneous bilateral Monteggia and Galea...

Reconstruction of a composite maxillary defect is frequently performed with a fibular osteocutaneous free flap to address both the bony and mucosal defect. If during the harvest of the fibula a distal skin perforator is not present due to vascular variations, reconstruction can potentially be done using the soleus muscle for filling of the palatal mucosal defect. An additional challenge arises ...

Introduction Ankle fractures involving the distal fibula belong to the most common fractures. Operative treatment is indicated in unstable ankle fractures by open reduction and internal fixation with plate and screws. Especially in the elderly, the osteoporotic bone provides reduced stabilization of this fixation. Therefore, an implant providing improved mechanical stabilization could allow a m...
