HUMERAL condylar fractures are among the most common fractures seen in dogs and account for approximately 20 per cent of the author’s canine fracture caseload, although this is a referral population and probably does not represent the true incidence of these injuries. It has long been recognised that spaniels are predisposed to humeral condylar fractures. It is now recognised that many of these...

The incidence of Monteggia lesion is only 1 to 2% of all childhood forearm injuries and even less in adults [2]. Distal humerus intraarticular fractures constitute 0.5%-7% of all fractures and 30% of elbow fractures [3]. Monteggia lesion have been found to be associated with wrist lesions [1,4,5]. Wiley and Galey [1] & Arazi et al. [6] reported one case each of the ipsilateral supracondylar fra...

<p>T type intercondylar fractures of the distal hummers in pediatric age group is an extremely rare injury. These are difficult to diagnosed as they can be mistaken for extension injuries. The few clinal trials on management fracture, it widely regarded that accepted method treatment open reduction and rigid internal fixation. It easier ensure stable articular reconstruction intra fragmen...

Retrograde interlocking nail was used as the method of fixation in 35 different cases of combination of complex femoral fractures. We performed this procedure in fractures of femoral shaft associated with fracture neck femur, pathological fractures of proximal third of femur with trochanteric pathology, ipsilateral fracture of femur and tibia in polytrauma cases with multiple other injuries, in...

Females demonstrated 2-9 times higher ACL injury rate, narrow notch width and higher joint laxity in multi-planar directions [1,2]. One of potential ACL injury mechanisms is ACL impingement against the lateral wall of the femoral intercondylar notch [3], expressed as elongated and deformed ACL geometry [3] and contact area and contact pressure between the ACL and the intercondylar notch [4]. Ho...

Anterior femoral notching during total knee arthroplasty is a potential risk factor for periprosthetic supracondylar femur fracture. We conducted a study to determine if the design of the femoral implant changes the risk for periprosthetic supracondylar femur fractures after anterior cortical notching. An anterior cortical defect was created in 12 femoral polyurethane models. Six femora were in...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013009426 DESCRIPTION A 9-year-old girl sustained an injury to her right knee during sliding on the playground. Immediately after the injury, she felt a sharp pain in her knee and she was unable to walk. On physical examination there was marked knee effusion without ecchym...

Avulsion fracture of the anterior tibial eminence is an uncommon injury. If bone union does not occur, knee extension will be limited by impingement of the avulsed fragment and knee instability will be induced by dysfunction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This report describes a 55-year-old woman who experienced an avulsion fracture of the right anterior tibial eminence during recreat...
