OBJECTIVES Missed injury diagnoses may cause potentially preventable deaths. To estimate the effect of clinically undiagnosed injuries on injury-specific survival estimates and the accuracy of an injury severity score. To also estimate the potentially preventable mortality attributable to these injuries. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS In a nation-wide, population-based study, data were collect...

The ankle is a common site of sport injuries. These usually have their main manifestations at the ankle joint and are thus easily recognised. However, unstable ligamentous ankle injuries may be associated with a fracture of the proximal fibula which can dominate the clinical picture. This severe uncommon injury complex, known as Maisonneuve fracture, is easily missed and maltreated (Pankovich, ...

Introduction: Common Orthopedics injuries may result in long-term disability when they are treated lately. Simple fractures require surgeries missed and neglected. Most musculoskeletal seen emergencies, some be life-threatening conditions attention, especially poly-trauma patients. Certain difficult to recognize not visible initial x-rays. A high index of suspicion is required diagnose such cas...

Missed intra-abdominal injuries are among the most frequent causes of potentially preventable trauma deaths. The evaluation and management of abdominal trauma is dependant on multiple factors, including mechanism of injury, location of injury, hemodynamic status of the patient, neurologic status of the patient, associated injuries, and institutional resources.

Traumatic dislocations of the second (index) to the fifth (little finger) carpometacarpal (CMC) joints are uncommon injuries accounting for less than 1% of all hand injuries [1]. These injuries often elude the unsuspecting attending clinician with as many as 70% of dislocations being missed completely or misdiagnosed at initial presentation [2]. Inexperienced practitioners right through to expe...

Radial head and neck fractures are common in young to middle age adults and are seen in nearly 20 % of acute elbow injuries in this age group. These are usually associated with high energy traumas like falls from height, road traffic accidents and sports injuries. Unilateral radial head fractures are relatively common and may be associated with other concomitant injuries. Bilateral radial head ...

INTRODUCTION Perilunate and lunate dislocations are uncommon high energy injuries and have extensive soft tissue, cartilaginous and bony damage. The most common pattern is trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture dislocation which constitutes approximately 50% of these injuries. Unusual injury pattern like Scaphocapitate syndrome can occur with fracture through scaphoid waist and capitate that rotate...

INTRODUCTION Though isolated traumatic extensor pollicislongus rupture and ulnar collateral ligament rupture of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb are well known injuries, it is rare to have simultaneous bilateral thumb injuries from a single traumatic event. In this article, we report simultaneous bilateral traumatic thumb injury with extensor pollicislongus tendon rupture on one side ...
