Luxation is relatively infrequent in bovine species because cattle generally have bulky muscle and strong periarticular ligaments and tendons, but cases do occur owing to sudden abnormal stresses in some joints [1]. One of the common sites is the coxofemoral joint, which has anatomic configurations that predispose to luxation. The relatively small head of the femur, minimal attachment of the fe...

La luxation de l'épaule, est définie par une perte de contact totale et permanente de la tête humérale avec la cavité glénoïde de la scapula, se produisant au décours d'un traumatisme. C'est une des urgences en chirurgie orthopédique dans le sens où l'intervention doit intervenir rapidement. D'une part pour le risque de compression d'éléments nobles, mais aussi pour l'avenir de l'articulation (...

SETTING School dental clinic, New Territories, Hong Kong. PATIENTS The dental records of children with a history of dental luxation and/or avulsion injury between November 2005 and October 2012 were reviewed. ...

La luxation erecta est une lésion rare, elle est encore plus rare quand elle est bilatérale. Nous rapportons un cas de luxation erecta bilatérale chez un sportif victime d’une chute lors d’une séance de gymnastique. Le patient s’est présenté aux urgences avec une attitude d’abduction irréductible des deux épaules, l’examen vasculo-nerveux était normal. La radiographie a confirmé le diagnostic d...

PROCEDURES Electronic medical records were reviewed for 24 genetic disorders: hemangiosarcoma, lymphoma, mast cell tumor, osteosarcoma, aortic stenosis, dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, mitral v...

OBJECTIVE To measure the quadriceps angle (Q-angle) in dogs with congenital patellar luxation using magnetic resonance (MR) methods. STUDY DESIGN Prospective clinical study. ANIMALS Thirty-eight client-owned dogs. METHODS Thirty-eight dogs were examined and placed into the following groups based on the degree of patellar instability: normal, grade I, grade II, and grade III. MR images of ...

From a dental viewpoint, incisor-luxation fractures in horses are fraught with complexities. Luxation fractures are defined as the dislocation of a tooth out of its alveolus without being totally avulsed from the mouth. These are dental emergencies with far-reaching implications. The periodontal and endodontic survival of the involved teeth depends on how these cases are handled. Owners should ...

Luxation of the eye globe is a rare event but it carries a risk of threat to permanent vision loss if appropriate intervention is not initiated on time. Although a rare presentation following minor trauma, it is usually associated with other ocular conditions like shallow orbital socket, floppy eyelid syndrome, and exophthalmos. Prompt reduction results in restoration of full anatomical and vis...

: Intrusion is the most severe luxation injury, resulting in soft and hard tissue damage. Treatment depends on root development stage tooth intrusion degree. Lateral describes displacement any direction other than axial. The prognosis of luxated teeth emergency treatment elapsed time. This paper reports an 11-year-old boy who sustained central lateral incisors into nasal cavity, his left canine...
