Background: The combination of coronoid process fracture, radial head and elbow dislocation has earned the moniker “terrible triad” by virtue its challenging treatment historically poor outcomes. Bilateral fracture with unilateral terrible triad injury is an unprecedented presentation. It raises questions regarding mechanism injury, surgical indication rehabilitation program.

The scaphoid is the most commonly fractured carpal bone, with frequent complications that are predisposed by its anatomical location, anatomical configuration (shape and length), and vascular supply. The most common mechanism of injury is a fall onto an outstretched hand. Imaging plays a significant role in the initial evaluation and treatment of scaphoid fractures and their complications. Radi...

OBJECTIVE To describe the typical tibial diaphyseal fracture ("footballer's fracture") and to clarify the circumstances and mechanism of the injury. METHODS In an attempt to obtain a detailed analysis of the types of injury suffered, and thereby highlight areas for prevention, 100 consecutive adult football players with a tibial diaphyseal fracture were studied prospectively. Details of the c...

Anteromedial rim fracture of medial tibial plateau is a rare fracture pattern with only a small number of case reports in the literature. However, it is highly likely that is associated with specific significant soft tissue injuries, especially posterior and posterolateral corner structure, and medial meniscus injury. It is thought this fracture is caused by hyperextension and varus rotation me...

INTRODUCTION: Prediction of bone fracture goes beyond bone mineral density measurement. The quality of bone matrix is instrumental in providing fracture resistance to bone. Thus assessment of bone quality is critical to understanding bone fracture. Reference point indentation (RPI) purports to measure bone matrix quality in vivo and has been shown to separate fracture and non-fracture groups wi...

Uniaxial quasi-static, uniaxial dynamic and confined dynamic compression experiments have been performed to characterize the failure and deformation mechanisms of a sintered polycrystalline aluminum nitride using a servohydraulic machine and a modified Kolsky bar. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used to identify the fracture and deformation mechanisms...
