INTRODUCTION A sleeve fracture classically describes an avulsion of cartilage or periosteum with or without osseous fragments and usually occurs at the inferior margin of the patella. Tibial tubercle sleeve fractures in the skeletally immature are extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION In this report the authors describe a 12-year-old boy with no systemic disease and no steroid use who sustained b...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of the management of triplane fractures of the distal tibial segment by using the posterior antiglide plate. Methods: Fourteen patients (9 male, 5 female; average age 14.2 years; range 12-17 years) who had closed two-part triplane fractures were enrolled. In all cases, the distal metaphyseal fracture of ...

Anterior tibial pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication after interlocking screw insertion in tibial nailing. We present the case of a 28-year-old male patient with this complication with a 6-week delay after tibial nailing of a right tibial fracture type 42-A1 of the Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (AO/ASIF) classification. On presentation to our emergency department, the patient'...

Management of severe open tibial fracture with neurovascular injury is difficult and controversial. Primary amputation is an acceptable option as salvaging the injured, insensate, and ischaemic limb may result in chronic osteomyelitis and non-functional limb. We report a case of open tibial fracture associated with segmental bone and soft tissue loss, posterior tibial nerve and artery injuries,...

Tibial eminence avulsion fractures are rare injuries occurring mainly in adolescents and young adults. When necessary, regardless of patient age, anatomic reduction and stable internal fixation are mandatory for fracture healing and accurate restoration of normal knee biomechanics. Various arthroscopically assisted fixation methods with sutures, anchors, wires, or screws have been described but...

Injuries from road traffic crashes form a major public health problem. The resulting bone fractures are usually associated with nerve injuries in the form of nerve degeneration followed by regeneration. This regeneration process is expected to affect the amount and quality of the formed calluses. This study aims to investigate the effect of sciatic nerve crushing as a model for nerve regenerati...

Tibial eminence avulsion fracture at the ACL footprint may be caused by high-energy forces such as a fall, in which the ACL ligament proves stronger than the forces that hold the bone together. For reasons of bone maturity however, tibial spine avulsion fractures where the ACL remains intact, typically occur in children but are rare in adults. This case demonstrates a rare type of adult tibial ...

UNLABELLED The fatigue life of bone is inversely related to strain magnitude. Decreasing stride length is a potential mechanism of strain reduction during running. If stride length is decreased, the number of loading cycles will increase for a given mileage. It is unclear if increased loading cycles are detrimental to skeletal health despite reductions in strain. PURPOSE To determine the effe...

conclusions this study confirmed the efficacy of pw lllt on biomechanical strength, trabecular bone volume, callus volume, and osteoblast number of repairing callus in a complete tibial osteotomy animal model at a relatively late stage of the bone healing process. materials and methods this experimental study was conducted at shahid beheshti university of medical sciences in tehran, iran. we pe...

This prospective interventional study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics ,Jalalabad Ragib Rabeya Medical college Hospital and other Private Sylhet during Janurary 2019 to December 2020 with a view evaluate outcome Minimally invasive osteosynthesis Distal Tibial fractures using anterolateral locking plate distal tibial fracture. For this purpose 21 patients fracture third tibia were...
