Orthopaedic surgeons have reported increased neurologic complications with the employment of next-generation tibial nail fixation with variable proximal and distal locking options. However, vascular injury due to oblique screw placement has not been documented. We describe a case in which a medial-to-lateral oblique locking screw led to significant vascular injury. The judicious use of these sc...

A 44-year-old female with diabetes and end-stage renal disease suffered a nondisplaced medial tibial plateau fracture after a ground-level fall. After open reduction and internal fixation, her popliteal artery and vein occluded at the level of the fracture. Review of the noncontrast computed tomography scan completed on initial arrival to the emergency department revealed a fracture in the calc...

BACKGROUND Arm injuries in throwing athletes continue to increase. Injuries may be due to multiple variables, including inefficient body movement patterns, especially in young baseball throwers. It is unclear whether these patterns can be efficiently altered in this population. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS To investigate the effect of a novel 21-day throwing program on body movement patterns in youth b...

Arterial complications following arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction of the knee are rare. Injuries to vascular structures around the knee have historically been reported more commonly, with reconstructive procedures occurring more posteriorly, such as posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. The authors present a report of sequelae following a postoperative po...

CONTEXT Long-distance running (greater than 3000 m) is often recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Running injury rates increase significantly when weekly mileage extends beyond 40 miles cumulatively. With the development of running analysis and other diagnostic tests, injuries to the leg secondary to bone, musculotendinous, and vascular causes can be diagnosed and successfully managed. ...

OBJECTIVES To ascertain the number and type of severe soccer injuries admitted to King Edward Hospital in South Africa over 42 months.
