We report on a 40-year-old man who sustained a traumatic extracapsular fracture of the proximal femur with a Birmingham Hip Resurfacing in situ. It was decided to retain the resurfacing implant and a proximal femoral periarticular locking compression plate (Synthes) was used to stabilise the fracture. The patient regained full range of pain-free movement, and was bearing his full weight on the ...

conclusions we recognized this type of fracture and treated it similarly to both column fractures. we recommend that the classification of acetabular fractures be modified to include this type of fracture. introduction acetabular fractures are a common problem among young males. an acetabular fracture with disruption of the joint surface, if untreated, will rapidly lead to post-traumatic osteoa...

because of the prevalent occurrence of pelvic fracture and its death consequences the present research was conducted to determine epidemiological of pelvic fracture of patients who referred to taleqani hospital of kermanshah during 2002-2008. in a retrospective study, 54 patients were studied employing to patient medical file. 17 patients were women, 37of cases were men. range of age was betwee...

The source of continued hip pain following fixation of traumatic femoral shaft fracture is not always clear. Intra-articular hip pathology is often overlooked when evaluating the etiology of residual pain. The purpose of this study was to describe cases of intra-articular hip pathology following traumatic femoral shaft fracture. This was a retrospective case series of patients presenting to a p...

PURPOSE Over 170 years ago, traumatic spondylolisthesis of the axis or hangman's fracture was described. Most descriptions of this entity have focused on adult presentations. METHODS We review the literature on pediatric cases of hangman's fracture emphasizing the embryological as well as presentation aspects. RESULTS The majority of cervical spine fractures in children occur at C1 and C2 v...

Burst fractures of the spine account for 14% of all spinal injuries. Lower lumbar burst fracture with retrolisthesis is a rare presentation of traumatic cause. Management of this type of fracture are controversial and depends on plenty of factors like age of patient, type of injury, neurological deficit, associated comorbit injury. Here we are discussing a rarest case of traumatic burst fractur...

The incidence of traumatic hip dislocation has increased in recent years as a result of high-energy trauma. Anterior hip dislocation forms less than 10-15% of all traumatic hip dislocations. Only a few case reports describe anterior dislocation along with acetabular fractures. The acetabular fracture involved the anterior wall or column in all such cases. We describe a rare case in which anteri...

Traumatic hip fracture-dislocations are associated with chondral and labral pathology as well as loose bodies that can be incarcerated in the hip joint. Incarceration, such as interposed labrum between acetabulum and femoral head that is not readily visualized preoperatively, is a rare but important cause of pain and can potentially be a source for early degeneration and progression to osteoart...
