BACKGROUND Correction of a distal radius fracture malunion is challenging technically. These malunions most classically deform dorsally, but often the deformity involves three planes. METHODS Using an anatomically designed radial plate that takes into consideration the three planes, correction of the deformity can be obtained. In this video we see a patient with a classic dinner fork deformit...

Age-Although their ages ranged from five to thirteen years (average ten years), twenty-six of the children were aged nine years or older. Sex-There were eighteen boys and sixteen girls. Site of fracture-In seventeen cases the fracture was three to four millimetres distal to the epiphysial plate, representing a true fracture of the neck of the radius (Fig. 1). In seventeen cases the injury was a...

 Background:It is possible that some hamate hook fractures are not diagnosed or treated, thereby affecting the study of their natural history. Study of the prevalence of incidental hamate hook fractures, nonunions, and other abnormalities on computed tomography (CT) ordered for another reason could document a subset of undiagnosed and untreated hamate hook fractures which might change our under...

Osteoporosis is a crippling disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by loss of bony tissue from the skeleton and deterioration of bone structure, and is associated with enhanced bone fragility and increased risk of fracture (Consensus Development Conference, 1991). Fragility fractures are most common at the wrist, spinal vertebrae and hip, although they can occur ...

conclusions a neglected hip dislocation with acetabular fracture can be managed satisfactorily with uncemented thr. bone reconstruction using chunk grafts and use of cementless components ensures long-term survival and also preserves adequate bone stock for revision, especially in young patients. introduction posterior hip dislocation of the hip with acetabular fracture is a challenging problem...
