An institutional review board-approved retrospective review of hip fractures in elderly patients treated with a modular unipolar implant was carried out to identify factors predisposing to dislocation of a hemiarthroplasty. The main outcome measure evaluated was dislocation vs nondislocation. Two hundred seventeen patients underwent the surgery, and 174 were available for review at 6 weeks and ...

Background: Manubriosternal joint dislocation as a result of trauma is rare with only few case reports published in the literature. Materials that have been used for fixation of displaced manubriosternal joint are steel wires, polydioxanone ropes, and plates with screws. Case: We present a case of manubriosternal dislocation in which fixation was done with locking compression plate. It is a cas...

A case of complex paediatric elbow trauma, comprising of fracture lateral condyle associated with posterior dislocation of elbow is presented. Concomitant elbow dislocation was managed by closed reduction under sedation, assessing the elbow stability under general anaesthesia along with lateral condylar fracture fixation using cannulated cancellous screw. The patient had an uneventful recovery ...

The current case study deals with Comminuted Scapular Body Fracture after Seizure. Diagnosis of the epilepsy defined as two or more unprovoked seizures. prevalence is found to be .5 – 2%. People are at risk fractures either due fall, muscle contractions that lead for avulsion loss protective mechanism during Muscles contraction tonic phase seizures can result in variety musculoskeletal injuries...

Posterior carpometacarpal (CMC) dislocation is a rare condition. Treatment is usually surgical though no strict consensus can be found upon literature review. If diagnosed early and no associated fractures are found, CMC dislocation could benefit from conservative treatment comprising closed reduction and splint immobilisation. We report the case of a 26-year-old man diagnosed with a posterior ...

Of all wrist dislocation, the perilunate is the most common type of dislocation. There is ligament disruption typically begins radially and propagates around the lunate. It may be associated with different carpal fractures which the most common pattern is the trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture-dislocation [1,2] which constitutes approximately 50% of these injuries [1-5]. Injury to the distal ra...

INTRODUCTION Injuries of the hip joint from pure hip dislocations to fracture dislocations have been described and classified by various authors. These descriptions do not include fracture dislocation of hip associated with fracture of the greater trochanter. CASE REPORT We report an unusual case of fracture dislocation of hip in which posterior dislocation of hip was associated with fracture...

Injuries to the wrist often present problems of accurate diagnosis and effective treatment (MacAusland 1944, B#{246}hler1956, Cave 1958, Aitken and Nalebuff 1960). Those associated with fractures are usually demonstrated by proper radiographs, but even these injuries may be missed (Soto-Hall and Haldeman 1941, Speed 1950). Dislocation of the scaphoid bone may occur after apparently successful r...

UNLABELLED SUBAXIAL CERVICAL FACET DISLOCATION INJURIES: STANDARDS There is insufficient evidence to recommend treatment standards. GUIDELINES There is insufficient evidence to recommend treatment guidelines. OPTIONS Closed or open reduction of subaxial cervical facet dislocation injuries is recommended. Treatment of subaxial cervical facet dislocation injuries with rigid external immobil...

Posterior dislocation of the shoulder is a rare but clinically and radiologically well-defined entity. It accounts for less than 2% of all dislocations of the shoulder,1,2 but is of diagnostic and therapeutic interest because most are missed on the initial e...
