background: abnormal angulation of the lunate can be an indication of intercarpal pathology. on magnetic resonance images (mris) the lunate often looks dorsally angulated, even in healthy wrists. the tilt on individual slices can also be different and might be misinterpreted as pathological, contributing to inaccurate diagnoses and unnecessary surgery. the primary aim of this study was to deter...

We describe an unusual tramatic fracture/distraction injury of the craniovertebral junction, which the patient survived. It is postulated that this represents an example of the spectrum of fracture dislocation injuries that may occur at, and adjacent to, the atlantooccipital joints. Avulsion fractures in this region , associated with atlantooccipital dislocation, may be more common than previou...

conclusions although some of the orthopedic surgeons are not interested to manage these fractures surgically and most of them treat these cases conservatively (casting, etc.), in most displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures, surgical treatment is the method of choice. moreover, in non-surgical treatment the prevalence of these complications among the patients is more and as a result, inev...
