Replantations for major amputations of upper extremity have been widely performed. We report a unique case of successful replantation of scapulothoracic avulsion amputation in a child. In this manuscript, we discuss the various challenges faced during the procedure and chances of neural recovery.

Avulsion injuries of the adductor longus muscle tendon are rare and a challenge to manage especially in athletes. There has been little published literature on the outcome of conservative and operative treatment for these injuries. We report the first case of an acute adductor longus avulsion injury which was surgically repaired in a professional equestrian rider. Return to full preinjury funct...

We report a geriatric case with a full-thickness skin avulsion injury during extubation due to a tube securing tape used to fixate the endotracheal tube. The avulsed skin was sutured back to its original place. Based on this single geriatric patient, we recommend anesthesiologists/anesthetists and surgeons be aware of the potential risk of avulsing the skin with tape during a standard extubatio...

A 38-year-old with ankylosing spondylitis presented to a sports medicine clinic following traumatic cycling accident. Physical exam found pain, swelling and ecchymosis overlying the proximal thigh. Point of care ultrasound revealed an underlying large hematoma causing closed degloving tissue or Morel-Lavallée lesions. MRI confirmed size lesion diagnosis made previously. The patient was treated ...

This study describes all-arthroscopic fixation of the posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture using 'suture bridge technique'. We used this technique in 3 consecutive patients. All were satisfied and returned to the activities prior to injury. This technique can be considered as a safe and effective method for fixation of PCL avulsion, which allows active mobilization with lowered risk of...

A report on an unusual transverse fracture through the body of the patella in a 13 year old high jumper is presented. The clinic features and treatment of the more usual avulsion injury of the patella is discussed.
