Dear Editor, I have greatly enjoyed reading the case report entitled “‘Femoral Condyle Fracture during Revision of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Case Report and a Review of Literature” in the issue of Arch Bone Jt Surg.2015; 3(2):137-40 with great interest. I would like to commend the authors for their detailed and valuable work. Although various case reports have described postope...

Introduction. The mandibular condyle is the most common site of mandibular fracture. Surgical treatment of condylar fractures by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) demands direct visualization of the fracture. This project aimed to investigate the anatomic relationship of the tragus to the facial nerve and condylar process. Materials and Methods. Twelve fresh hemicadavers heads were us...

Introduction Unstable intertrochanteric hip fractures can be difficult surgical challenges. Screw and side plate devices reliably stabilize stable fracture patterns [1,2], but unstable fractures require a mechanically optimized device and better implant purchase in the femoral head. These fractures have been more prone to implant failure with standard devices [3, 4]. The trochanteric femoral na...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to report a modified transtibial technique to approach the center of anatomical femoral footprint in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and to investigate the accurate femoral tunnel position with 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) and radiography after reconstruction. METHODS From December 2010 to October 2011, we evaluated 98 patie...

Introduction: Distal femur fracture are being treated with distal nail, dynamic condylar screw and even addition of a medial plate good clinical results. By this study, we explore the potenti ability locking to counter fractures extra articular, partial or intra- articular nature. Positive results have been brought out by various groups from all over world. Aim: To study clinical, functional ra...

Mandibular condylar neck fractures and subcondylar fractures represent, respectively, 19-29% and 62-70% of all mandibular fractures; treatment involves some problems, common to both, concerning the choice of an adequate approach. Herewith, personal experience is reported related to the surgical treatment of some cases of mandibular condylar neck and subcondylar fractures by transparotid approac...

OBJECTIVE To preliminarily investigate the temporal patterns of the endogenous mRNA expression for members of the Wnt signaling and a series of genes regulating bone formation during the development of traumatic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) bony ankylosis in a sheep model. METHODS Six sheep were used for the induction of bony ankylosis of TMJ. We performed a condylar fracture, excision of th...

Introduction Traumatic dislocation of the hip with ipsilateral fracture neck femur is a rare injury because of the different mechanism of both these injuries. The management of such injuries is a challenge as the chances of nonunion and avascular necrosis of femoral head are very high with fixation methods. We report a case of obturator dislocation of the hip with ipsilateral fracture neck of t...

The authors performed a cadaveric study to evaluate the efficacy of multiple fluoroscopic projections in detecting intra-articular penetration of the screws during femoral neck fracture fixation and also to determine the most suitable radiographic projection. Models of intra-articular penetration in 8 normal proximal femur specimens were created by placing the pins in different quadrants of the...

INTRODUCTION The incidence of condylar fractures is high. Condylar fractures can be extracapsular (condylar neck or subcondylar) or intracapsular, undisplaced, deviated, displaced or dislocated. Treatment depends on the age of the patient, the co-existence of other mandibular or maxillary fractures, whether the condylar fracture is unilateral or bilateral, the level and displacement of the frac...
