BACKGROUND Lateral column tibial plateau fracture fixation with a locking screw plate has higher mechanical stability than other fixation methods. The objectives of the present study were to introduce two newly designed locking anatomic plates for lateral tibial plateau fracture and to demonstrate their characteristics of the fixation complexes under the axial loads. METHODS Three different 3...

Impact mechanics theory suggests that peak loads should decrease with increase in system energy absorption. In light of the reduced hip fracture risk for persons with high body mass index (BMI) and for falls on soft surfaces, the purpose of this study was to characterize the effects of participant BMI, gender, and flooring surface on system energy absorption during lateral falls on the hip with...

The purpose of this case report is to describe the clinical presentation of a patient who suffered from a fracture of the lateral tubercle of the posterior talar process caused by a fall while rock-climbing. The initial evaluation revealed diffuse ankle swelling, tenderness, and pain at the distal aspect of both malleoli. Plain film radiography revealed a fracture of the posterior process of th...

BACKGROUND Dynamic hip screw (DHS) is a common device for treating intertrochanteric fracture (ITF). Various risk factors have been reported to be associated with the operative treatment outcome. However, an integrated risk scoring prediction model is lacking. In this study, we aimed to develop a prediction model for treatment outcome of intertrochanteric fracture. METHODS We analyzed 442 AO/...

1. Illustration of case report in abstract was somehow different from illustration in the description as the case was explained as a 2 month old clavicle fracture in abstract & it was explained as 4 months old in description and different other time intervals also. 2. Itrogenic compartment syndrome manifestating a week after surgery would not happen,as there was no compartment at clavicle bone,...

The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical properties of medial and lateral plating of a medially comminuted supracondylar femoral fracture. A supracondylar femoral fracture model comparing two fixation methods was tested cyclically in axial loading. One-centimetre supracondylar gap osteotomies were created in six synthetic femurs approximately 6 cm proximal to the knee joint. There...

a radiolucent table with the patient in the supine position with slight knee flexion. This is particularly useful in an anterior approach. The standard surgical approaches include the traditional Watson-Jones anterolateral approach, which can facilitate implant placement. However, exposure and reduction of the fracture can be difficult in a large or obese patient. The anterior Smith-Petersen ap...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this case report is to describe a patient that presented with a Mason type II radial neck fracture approximately three weeks following a traumatic injury. CLINICAL FEATURES A 59-year old female presented to a chiropractic practice with complaints of left lateral elbow pain distal to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and pain provocation with pronation, supination ...

This is a rare case of thrombosis of the dorsal vein of the penis (Mondor's disease) occurred after an anterior-lateral retroperitoneal approach for a vertebral stabilisation in thoracolumbar vertebral fracture. Potential causes are traumatism, neoplasms, excessive sexual activity or abstinence. Although penile Mondor's disease is a clinical diagnosis, ultrasound imaging is the gold standard to...

Schatzker type IV medial tibial plateau fractures have an unfavorable prognosis, likely due to the mechanism of injury (fracture-dislocation/subluxation type) and possibly due to the involvement of the posterolateral plateau, which is different from previously thought. The aim of this study was to propose a new subclassification of Schatzker type IV fracture patterns based on 2-dimensional (2-D...
