INTRODUCTION Dislocation of intermediate cuneiform is a rare injury in English language literature. Dislocation of intermediate cuneiform with undisplaced medial cuneiform fracture has been reported only once. We report the first case of dislocation intermediate cuneiform with displaced medial cuneiform fracture. CASE REPORT A 43-year-old male was diagnosed of dislocation of intermediate cune...

Dislocation of the hip joint in adults is usually caused by high-energy trauma such as road traffic accidents or falls from heights. Posterior dislocation is observed in most cases. However, atraumatic anterior dislocation of the hip joint is extremely rare. We present a case of atraumatic anterior dislocation of the hip joint that was induced by an activity of daily living. The possible causes...

dislocation of the thumb carpometacarpal joint is a rare injury, and only 38 cases have been definitively described in the english-speaking literature. all the reported dislocations have been dorsal. we present a volar form of the thumb carpometacarpal dislocation which was managed surgically after three months from the injury with open reduction and volar ligament reconstrction, with satisfact...

Posterior dislocation of the shoulder is a rare but clinically and radiologically well-defined entity. It accounts for less than 2% of all dislocations of the shoulder,1,2 but is of diagnostic and therapeutic interest because most are missed on the initial e...

The study of the micro-plastic behavior of rough surface contact is the critical link towards a fundamental understanding of contact, friction, adhesion, and surface failures at small length scales. In the companion paper (Yu et al., J. Mech. Phys. Solids 55, 489-516, 2007), we have studied the onset of surface yielding due to single-dislocation nucleation from a stepped surface under adhesive ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patient education and mobilization restrictions are often used in an attempt to reduce the risk of dislocation following primary THA. To date, there have been no studies investigating the safety of removal of mobilization restrictions following THA performed using a posterolateral approach. In this retrospective non-inferiority study, we investigated the rate of early dis...

BACKGROUND Improvement in surgical devices and intraocular lenses has made modern cataract surgery a safe procedure with decreasing complication rates. Intraocular lens dislocation is a serious complication after cataract surgery. Although most dislocations occur during the first week postoperative period, late intraocular lens dislocation occurring 3 months or later post-surgery has been repor...

Computational aspects of the phase field simulations of dislocation nucleation and evolution are addressed. The complete system of equations for the coupled phase field approach to dislocation nucleation and evolution and nonlinear mechanics for large strains is formulated. Analytical solutions for a stationary and propagating single dislocation, dislocation velocity, core energy, and core widt...

Recurrent dislocation of the elbow is uncommon, but in the past three years eighteen cases have been discovered through the cooperation of colleagues in Liverpool, Birmingham and Oswestry. The pathology of this condition has not been well described nor is there a standard method of treatment. A study of the anatomy, mechanism of injury and clinical features suggested that there was a constant c...
