Hip arthroplasty after open reduction and internal fixation of the proximal femur presents a challenge to reconstructive surgeons. Bony defects, fracture malunion, and non-union increase the risk of complications, including intraoperative fracture, unrecognized perforation, and trochanteric non-union. The authors describe a novel surgical technique using conversion hemiarthroplasty and valgus o...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the results of Posteromedial (PM) open reduction internal fixation versus arthroscopic reduction and adjustable loop fixation of displaced Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) tibial avulsion fractures, regarding healing, degree of posterior stability, Range of Motion (ROM), level of activity, complications and diagnosis of associated injuries. Hyp...

T-Condylar fracture of the distal humerus is rare in the skeletally immature children and is very rare in young children, under 9 years of age. This fracture has been classified  as:  type A ( minimally displaced or undisplaced), type B (displaced  but  not comminuted ) and type C (displaced and comminuted). Herein, we report a T-Condylar fracture of the distal humerus in a 5-yr-old boy. This f...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Based on reported success with staged treatment of distal tibial fractures, we designed a 2-stage protocol including external/internal locked plating. We retrospectively assessed the outcome of open distal tibial fractures treated according to this protocol. PATIENTS AND METHODS From March 2006 through July 2008, 16 patients who sustained open distal tibial fractures we...

Abstract Background Medial malleolus fracture is commonly seen nowadays in orthopaedic practice. There are different modalities of treatment based on pattern and socioeconomic status. Undisplaced can be managed by cast application. Various surgical available treating medial like tension band wiring, cancellous screw or cortical fixation, plate Kirschner wire, suture anchors. The purpose our stu...

Objective: Lisfranc injuries are found in various injury patterns, especially athletes. These the second most common type of foot However, treatment decision differs and is essential athletes for a good outcome. The main controversies surgical management include whether to execute open or close reduction, fixation technique, arthrodesis’ role Case Report: A previously healthy 21 Years Old Malay...

OBJECTIVES When open reduction and internal fixation is indicated for the management of mandibular fractures, it is generally agreed that nonrigid fixation and rigid fixation represent acceptable treatment alternative. Opinions vary, however, regarding the cost-effectiveness of the two alternative. The purpose of this study was to compare the costs of these treatments of mandibular fractures th...

BACKGROUND This study presents the outcomes of low transcondylar fractures of the distal humerus treated by open reduction and internal fixation. METHODS Between 1996 and 2010, 263 distal humeral fractures were managed at our institution. Patients with a true low transcondylar fracture treated by open reduction and internal fixation were included. Fourteen patients form the basis of this stud...
