Abstract Aim Traumatic native hip dislocation (NHD) is rarely without an associated fracture or due to low energy trauma. Posterior the most common pattern of dislocation. In cases, closed reduction successful, but occasionally open required achieve appropriate reduction. The aim our study was present 9-year experience from institution this rare injury and comment on how correlates with current...

The patient was a 41-year-old woman with an 8-month history of insidious sharp right groin pain and paresthesia radiating distally to the medial lower leg and foot with sitting and any activity involving hip extension. She denied any clicking in her hip. She was previously diagnosed by her internal medicine physician with a femoral hernia. However, surgical correction of hernia, as well as nons...

BACKGROUND The stump impingement reflex is a subtle bounce to the knee thought to be caused by hamstring contraction when the knee is brought into extension and the torn ACL stump impinges between the distal femur and the tibial plateau. We have studied the diagnostic value of this sign. FINDINGS From Feb 2008-Feb 2009, we audited 30 patients who underwent urgent arthroscopy for acutely locke...

Statistical shape modeling (SSM) was used to quantify 3D variation and morphologic differences between femurs with and without cam femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). 3D surfaces were generated from CT scans of femurs from 41 controls and 30 cam FAI patients. SSM correspondence particles were optimally positioned on each surface using a gradient descent energy function. Mean shapes for groups w...

CLINICAL SCENARIO It has been suggested that posterior shoulder tightness is a common contributor to shoulder impingement in overhead-throwing athletes. The incidence of shoulder pain in the general population has been reported to be as high as 27%, and as many as 74% of the patients who were seen for shoulder issues had signs of impingement. Particularly regarding physically active adults, sho...

OBJECTIVE To assess the opinion of Brazilian orthopedists surgeons on the diagnosis and treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). METHODS A questionnaire was sent to several orthopedic societies around the world, including the Sociedade Brasileira de Ortopedia e Traumatologia (SBOT). This questionnaire was sent electronically and included questions on many topics related to FAI. RESU...

BACKGROUND The authors report the results of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) treated with a surgical dislocation. METHODS From April 2005 to May 2007, 15 FAI hips were treated with a surgical dislocation. The male/female ratio, mean age and mean symptom duration was 12/2, 35.8 years and 2.3 years, respectively. Radiographs and MR arthrograms were taken. The clinical evaluation involved cha...

BACKGROUND Shoulder injuries in golf are related to the biomechanics of the golf swing and typically occur in the lead arm at the top of the back swing. PURPOSE We report a newly recognized entity in a series of elite golfers: posterior glenohumeral instability associated with subacromial impingement. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review. METHODS Eight elite golfers were treated between Marc...
