Background:  Hip fracture Management in supine position on a fracture table with biplane fluoroscopic views has some difficulties which leads to prolongation of surgery and increasing x- rays’ dosage. The purpose of this study was to report the results and complications of hip fracture management in lateral position on a conventional operating table with just anteroposterior fluoroscopic view. ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the discrepancy between the anatomical axis of the distal femur of Japanese patients and the stem position of 5 types of femoral components. METHODS Lateral radiographs of 12 men and 88 women aged 31 to 83 (mean, 59) years with rheumatoid arthritis were evaluated. The discrepancy between the anatomical axis of the distal femur and the stem position of 5 types of femoral co...

In spite of advances in techniques and improvements in surgical implants, confusion still prevails regarding use of specific implants in distal femur fracture. Fractures in the distal femur have posed considerable therapeutic challenges throughout the history of fracture treatment. Most of these surgical failures were due to inadequate fixation of the fracture fragments. The Aim of the study is...

dear editor,we have greatly enjoyed reading the case report entitled “‘femoral condyle fracture during revision of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: case report and a review of literature in the issue of arch bone jt surg. 2015;3(2) with great interest. we would like to commend the authors for their detailed and valuable work. although various case reports have described postoperative ...

The mandible is the largest and strongest of the facial bones. Mandibular bone fracture is the tenth most common fracture in the human body and second most of the facial bones next only to nasal bones. Among the mandibular bone fractures, condylar region is the most frequent site accounting for about 25-35 %. 1 Condylar fractures are usually the result of a direct blow to the chin or to the lat...

BACKGROUND There is paucity of literature describing complex elbow trauma in the pediatric population. We described a case of an uncommon pediatric elbow injury comprised of lateral condyle fracture associated with posterolateral dislocation of elbow. CASE PRESENTATION A 12-year-old boy sustained a direct elbow trauma and presented with Milch type II lateral condyle fracture associated with p...

From an anatomical study and clinical review of fractures of the lateral humeral condyle in children, the following conclusions are drawn. The mechanism of injury is a violent varus force with the elbow in extension, the condyle being avulsed by the lateral ligament and the extensor muscles. If the fracture is incomplete, with an intact hinge of pre-osseous cartilage medially, the fragment will...

BACKGROUND The goal of this present study was to precisely determine the dimension and location of the impaction fracture on the lateral femoral condyle in patients with an ACL rupture. METHODS All patients with post-injury bi-plane radiographs and MRI images after sustaining a tear to the anterior cruciate ligament were included. Lateral radiographs of the affected knee were inspected for a ...
