INTRODUCTION Fracture-dislocation of the thoracic or lumbar spine often results in severe neurologic deficits if dislocation is significant. However, cases of fracture-dislocation of the thoracic or lumbar spine without neurologic deficits are rarely reported in the literature, and the choice of the treatment has been controversial. CASE REPORT Two female patients, aged 27 and 35 years, were ...

A 35-year-old man was struck by a car on his right side and presented with paraparesis of both lower extremities. Radiographic examination revealed multiple transverse process fractures and anterior displacement of L5 on S1. Computed tomography revealed a bilateral anterior facet dislocation of the fifth lumbar vertebra on the sacrum. MRI showed rupture of the posterior ligamentous complex. A p...

introduction traumatic lumbar spondylolisthesis is rare disease and in the literature, different surgical approaches, including anterior, posterior, or combined approaches (posterior and anterior) are used to treat the lesion. case presentation we treated a case of traumatic lumbosacral spondylolisthesis using posterior approach and the patient showed a satisfactory outcome. at the final follow...

BACKGROUND No clear recommendations exist regarding optimal humeral component version and deltoid tension in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). MATERIALS AND METHODS A biomechanical shoulder simulator tested humeral versions (0°, 10°, 20° retroversion) and implant thicknesses (-3, 0, +3 mm from baseline) after reverse TSA in human cadavers. Abduction and external rotation ranges of mo...

Posterior dislocation of the shoulder is rare, occurring in approximately 2% to 4% of all shoulder dislocations. Through a mechanism similar to that first characterized by Hill and Sachs, these dislocations have the potential to result in impaction fractures of the anterior aspect of the humeral head. These so-called reverse Hill-Sachs or McLaughlin lesions are estimated to occur in 86% of acut...

Total Hip Replacement is an increasingly common surgical intervention in the aging population these days and with that it brings frequent complications. Posterior dislocation more common, anterior still a concern it’s management controversial. Study aims on understanding pathology behind THR ways to manage same.

abstract traumatic hip dislocations are common in high-energy motor vehicle accidents. we present a case of a 43-year old man who sustained posterior hip dislocation with posterior wall acetabular fracture and ipsilateral intertrochantric fracture following a motorcycle accident. urgent open reduction and internal fixation of the hip fracture-dislocation and fixation of intertrochantric fractur...
