conclusions glenohumeral joint reduction with reconstruction of the humeral head seems to be possible even in a neglected locked posterior shoulder fracture-dislocation. if the depressed osteochondral fragment is still spheric, signs of the avascular necrosis are absent on ct, and mal:union: of the fragment has occurred, it is quite possible to reconstruct the head. although results of the case...

Traumatic posterior instability may occasionally cause a large osteochondral lesion when the anterior humeral head is compressed against the posterior glenoid rim. This is termed a reverse Hill–Sachs lesion. Such osteochondral defects may be very large in the case of chronic locked dislocations. Even in acute posterior disclocations, closed reduction may be difficult when the humeral head is lo...

Locked posterior shoulder dislocations are an uncommon but difficult problem for the orthopaedic clinician. Furthermore, they are often missed on initial presentation, resulting in significant delays in treatment. Traditional treatment has involved formal open reduction, most commonly from an anterior approach, followed by transfer of the lesser tuberosity or subscapularis tendon into the anter...

Introduction : Closed reduction is widely accepted as the initial management of subaxial facet dislocation. However, there a substantial risk neurological deterioration due to herniated discs or fractured vertebral bodies during procedure. Recently, it has been reported that open and fixation via an anterior approach for dislocation had good outcomes. some cases with locked facets were difficul...

Overlapped pubic symphysis is a rare but serious pelvic injury. This study presents a case of overlapped dislocation of the pubic symphysis. He was managed by closed reduction under general anesthesia. The patient had urethral transsection.At the latest follow up, seven months post injury; he was able to walk well without any pelvic pain. However, his urologic problems were continued. We also r...
