655 procedure has logistic and economic advantages over the two-stage procedure [2]. However, some other surgeons advocate the use of the one-stage procedure. The largest case series on this topic was published in Taiwan, with 34 cases: 28 one-stage and six two-stage procedures. In this case series, the occlusion rate in the one-stage procedure group was 29%, with an 11% flap failure rate, wher...

Background: Prevalence of recurrent shoulder dislocation in patients taking tramadol has not been studiedyet so, this study aims to study the recurrent shoulder dislocation following tramadol induced seizure. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 205 patients with recurrent shoulder dislocation complaints (2 or more) referred to Shafa Orthopedic and Iranmehr hospitals Tehran, Iran, from Oc...

absractall perilunate fracture-dislocations combine bone avulsions, ligament disruptionand fractures in different forms. the most frequent pattern is the dorsal transscaphoidperilunate fracture-dislocation. the reported risk of missed initial diagnosisin perilunate dislocations is as high as 20%. concerning pathomechanics of theperilunate fracture-dislocation, it should be noted that most dorsa...

introduction arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (amc) with incidence of 1 in 3000 of births is characterized by multiple rigid joint and soft-tissue contractures. case presentation we present a case of amc with severe soft tissue and joints contractures, especially joints of lower limb and elbows, bilateral complete dislocation of hips (cdh) and knees (cdk) (type iii), bilateral elbow joint dis...

BACKGROUND The most common neurological defect in traumatic anterior glenohumeral dislocation is isolated axillary nerve palsy. Most recover spontaneously; however, some have persistent axillary neuropathy. An intact rotator cuff may compensate for an isolated axillary nerve injury; however, given the high rate of rotator cuff pathology with advancing age, patients with an axillary nerve injury...

The coronoid process is one of the main constraints providing ulnohumeral joint stability. The coronoid process and the radial head provide a buttress against posterior displacement of the elbow joint. Fracture of the coronoid process can be either an isolated finding following elbow dislocation or part of a more complex fracture-dislocation. Much attention has been focused on treatment of radi...

INTRODUCTION The Galeazzi fracture-dislocation was originally described by Sir Astley Cooper in 1822 but was named after Italian surgeon Ricardo Galeazzi in 1934. It is an injury classified as a radial shaft fracture with associated dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint and disruption of the forearm axis joint. The associated distal radioulnar joint injury may be purely ligamentous in natu...

Isolated dislocations of the navicular are rare injuries; we present our experience of six cases in which the navicular was dislocated without fracture. All patients had complex injuries, with considerable disruption of the midfoot. Five patients had open reduction and stabilisation with Kirschner wires. One developed subluxation and deformity of the midfoot because of inadequate stabilisation ...

INTRODUCTION Thumb carpometacarpal dislocation is a rare injury with many treatment options described in literature. CASE DESCRIPTION A 47-year-old male patient presented to hospital with an isolated dorsal dislocation of the thumb carpometacarpal joint. Closed reduction of the dislocation could be easily done but joint was grossly unstable and redislocated. Repair of ruptured dorsoradial lig...

Knee dislocations are uncommon as isolated orthopaedic injuries, but their prevalence is increased in the setting of high-energy multiple trauma. In these circumstances, it is important for the orthopaedic clinician to recognize and appropriately treat the knee dislocation in parallel with other significant injuries. We report the case of an 18-year-old woman who was involved in a motor vehicle...
