Introduction: Mandible fractures are common injuries in the facial bones. It has a varied etiology, especially automobile accidents, bicycle accidents, motorcycle accidents and assaults. Objective: This study aims to illustrate a case of a patient with bilateral atrophic mandibular fractures treated surgically. Clinical case: male patient, 48 years old, victim an accident at work causing bilate...

Bisphosphonates are the most commonly prescribed drugs to treat osteoporosis because they have been proposed to prevent bone loss. Nevertheless, in up to 0.1% of patients, long-term use may cause atypical stress or insufficiency femoral fractures. Bilateral femoral shaft fractures have been reported after long-term use of bisphosphonates; however, there is limited evidence of the effect of shor...

The article presents a very rare case of bilateral distal tibial and fibular stress fractures in a 58-year-old white male. Excessive work load was undoubtedly the direct cause of the fractures as the patient's job involved carrying heavy (about 7 kg) packs of newspapers up stairs for 4 hours every night, with the distance covered amounting to approximately 80 floors. The available literature do...

BACKGROUND To describe grey-scale sonographic findings in lower extremity entheses in healthy children. METHODS Healthy patients referred to Orthopedic Surgery or Adolescent Medicine outpatient clinics or their siblings ages 5-18 years were recruited. Grey-scale ultrasound was performed on 3 entheseal sites bilaterally, the proximal patellar ligament insertion (PPL), distal patellar ligament ...

Background: Patella connects quadriceps ligament and tendon. Base peak. proximal non-articular distal patella. Common subcutaneous patella injurie. focuses Quadriceps forces facilitates arm extension. It rotates the knee extensor. At maximum extension, raises moment by 30%. Patellar avulsion fractures are classified independently. 9.3% to 22.4% of patellar thus. AO 34-A1 extra-articular lower p...

Intramedullary nailing has revolutionized the management of tibial diaphyseal fractures. However, anterior knee pain remains a common complication. Although knee pain causes are still largely unknown, there is evidence to suggest that adhesions resulting from soft tissue damage may contribute to it. We describe a simple cost-effective technique that utilises a syringe to protect the patellar li...

Fractures of the tibial tuberosity are infrequent injuries that occur during adolescence. Displaced tibial tuberosity fractures are typically treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Since these fractures occur at or near skeletal maturity, growth disturbances are not seen. This paper presents a case, the first report to our knowledge, of genu recurvatum deformity after open reduction...

INTRODUCTION Isolated traumatic fractures of both Patellae, occurring at the same time, in an otherwise healthy person, are very rare. The Patella, as a subcutaneous and a cancellous bone, is vulnerable to injury. However, simultaneous injury to both Patellae without the involvement of any other bony injuries occurs infrequently, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. CASE...

fractures of the os sacrum can be the cause of severe pain and immobility. a common cause of insufficiency fractures is osteoporosis. in elderly and multimorbid patients, the complications of conservative therapy can sometimes be severe. in the meantime, good outcomes with regard to pain reduction and improved mobility are achieved with ct-assisted balloon sacroplasty. we report on the successf...

A rare case of bilateral mandibular condylar fractures associated with bilateral external auditory canal fractures and otorrhagia is reported. The more severe external auditory canal fracture was present on the side of high condylar fracture, and the less severe external auditory canal fracture was ipsilateral to the condylar neck fracture. A mechanism of injury is proposed to account for such ...
