Traumatic injury to an adjacent segment of a previously fused spine is a rare complication of scoliosis surgery. The adjacent spinal segments may be more vulnerable to traumatic fracture or dislocation due to increased strain. We present a patient with prior C2 to sacrum fusion who suffered a C2 fracture/dislocation after falling. A 52-year-old female with a previous C2 to the sacrum fusion for...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the etiology, associated injurers and clinical presentation of post traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. METHODS This study was a cross-sectional study being conducted in the department of Cardiovascular, thoracic surgery (CVTS) and Pediatric Surgery, Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS), Srinagar, Kashmir, India.

The bones of elderly people with osteoporosis are susceptible to either traumatic fracture as a result of external impact, such as what happens during a fall, or even spontaneous fracture without trauma as a result of muscle contraction [1, 2]. Understanding the fracture behavior of bone tissue will help researchers find proper treatments to strengthen the bone in order to prevent such fracture...

Fracture of the cranial bones following trauma is common. The fracture most commonly encountered in clinical practice is an undisplaced linear fracture of a skull bone or a depressed skull fracture. Compound elevated skull fracture, unlike depressed skull fracture is an extremely rare variety of post-traumatic cranial injury, seldom seen in modern clinical practice. Authors report one such rare...

BACKGROUND Individuals residing in long-term care (LTC) are more likely to have a fragility fracture than community-dwelling seniors. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the presence of neurological diseases was associated with an increased risk of fracture within 180 days of admission to LTC. METHODS This retrospective cohort study used data collected in the LTC setting using ...

PURPOSE To determine if specific coronoid fractures relate to specific overall traumatic elbow instability injury patterns and to depict any relationship on fracture maps and heat maps. METHODS We collected 110 computed tomography (CT) studies from patients with coronoid fractures. Fracture types and pattern of injury were characterized based on anteroposterior and lateral radiographs, 2- and...

Hip fracture represents the most dramatic expression of the disease, in terms of morbidity, medical cost and mortality. The incidence of hip fracture increases substantially with age. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between gender and geriatric rehabilitation outcome after traumatic hip fracture. Ninety-nine community-dwelling elderly patients (older than 65 years), 64...

conclusions the patient reported that he did not feel pain or discomfort throughout the intervention. follow-up visits performed after one, three, six, twelve, and sixteen months demonstrated vitality of the tooth the absence of complications, as well as good esthetic results. laser technology may be used in the treatment of traumatic anterior teeth injury with advantages in terms of quality of...

 It has been reported that fractures are more common in epileptic patients relative to the general population. Seizures by repeated muscular contractions can increase fracture risk throughout the skeleton, but the reported papers about non traumatic vertebral fractures following a single episode of seizure are rare and mostly located in thoracic spine with only one or two vertebral fr...
