With the exception of displaced articular glenoid fractures, management of scapular fractures has largely consisted of benign neglect, with an emphasis on motion as allowed by the patient’s pain. Better understanding of this injury has resulted in greater acceptance of surgical management of highly displaced variants. However, little agreement exists on indications for surgery, and there is no ...

BACKGROUND Isolated radial neck fractures occur only in rare cases. The majority of cases are non-displaced or minimally displaced and can be treated conservatively. Conservative treatment, however, might result in secondary displacement and/or malunion. On the other hand, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) as standard surgical approach in adults is associated with non-union, implant-r...

Vingt deux patients présentant une fracture incongruente de l'acétabulum ont été opérés et revues avec un recul moyen de 2 ans. Le but de cette étude est d'analyser les résultats fonctionnels et radiologiques des fractures de l'acétabulum après traitement chirurgical. La population était constituée de 17 hommes et 5 femmes, avec un âge moyen de 42,5 ans. Les fractures de l'acétabulum étaient ré...

Fractures of the radial head constitute about 30% of all fractures around the elbow joint [1, 2]. Five to ten percent of all elbow dislocations are associated with peri-articular fractures, most commonly the radial head [3, 4, 5] In comminuted fractures of the radial head anatomic reduction and stable fixation are not always possible. In such cases the treatment is controversial – resection ver...

OBJECTIVE The wisdom of surgery facing multiple and multi-focal ribs fractures (flail segment) remains controversial. By the present retrospective study, we sought to determine the advisability of surgery as well as the anatomical and biomechanical features of flail segment leading to secondary dislocation. METHOD From 1970 to 2000, 127 patients underwent flail segment osteosynthesis. Clinica...

INTRODUCTION Acetabular fractures treatment represents a great controversy, challenge and dilemma for an orthopedic surgeon. AIM The aim of the paper was to present the results of treatment of 96 acetabular fractures in the Clinic of Traumatology Banja Luka, in the period from 2003 to 2013, as well as to raise awareness regarding the controversy in the methods of choice in treating acetabulum...

The complete solution to the problem of arthroplasty will be found only when we can provide our patients with new hips either made of, or able to unite with, living bone. Although it is by no means certain that such biomechanical synthesis is possible, this remains the goal for research, and unsuccessful attempts at welding artificial femoral heads and sockets in place by means of fast-setting ...

OBJECTIVE we prospectively evaluated clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients with displaced combined transverse-posterior wall acetabular fractures managed at our Institution over a period of seven years by posterolateral single approach, direct posterior wall and posterior column reduction and plating, and indirect reduction of anterior column controlled by fluoroscopic images with or w...
