background: knee extension contracture is a disabling complication after fractures around the knee. in this study we aimed to study factors influencing the outcomes of quadricepsplasty for the treatment of traumatic knee extension contracture. we hypothesized that there is no factor influencing the final range of knee motion.methods: in this retrospective study, we included 64 patients who unde...

Background Radial neck fractures in children are rare injuries, representing 1 to 5% of all elbow pediatric fractures. Most them non-displaced or slightly displaced and treated conservatively. Severely angulated radial (Judet type III IV O’Brien fractures) requires surgical treatment.
 Objective To study the clinical radiological outcomes following closed open reduction percutaneous intram...

Letournal and Judet classification of acetabular fracture is widely used. The classification is based on the identification of fracture lines on plain radiographs. Three-dimensional CT scan was claimed to give a better view of the fracture line. Our study showed that intraobserver reproducibility and interobserver reliability were almost the same when classification was done by using plain radi...

BACKGROUND The lack of knee flexion is an increasingly recognized complication of femoral and periarticular knee fractures. This is a significant challenge for both surgeon and patients. METHODS This article reports the clinical outcomes of 40 knees in 40 patients who underwent a modified Thompson quadricepsplasty. They were 36 men and 4 women. We performed a modified Thompson quadricepsplast...

Fractures of the radial neck in children are usually seen after the appearance of the proximal radial epiphysis at about the age of five years. They are frequently caused by a fall on the outstretched hand with the forearm supinated and the elbow extended, which produces a va!gus strain (Aufranc et a! 1967). There is some controversy about the management of these fractures, and they are more li...

Technique of quadricepsplasty along with slight modifications and compares it to the Thompson technique first described in 1944. Six cases are presented.ment in techniques of internal fixation and early rehabilitation, adequate knee. Initial operation and quadricepsplasty was 28 months 14 to. Developed a minimal-incision limited quadricepsplasty surgical technique to treat knee extension contra...

In December 1961, Letournel [10] published his original series on acetabular fracture classification and operative management. Before that time, acetabular fractures were classified as those associated with posterior hip dislocation and those associated with central hip dislocation. Many were treated without surgery, resulting in poor articular congruity of the hip. Citing an increasing inciden...

Judet et al and Letournel and Judet laid the groundwork for the current understanding and management of acetabular fractures. They developed a classification system and novel surgical approaches that still serve as the standard of care. Modifications of these approaches (eg, ilioinguinal, Kocher-Langenbeck) have been developed to improve surgical outcomes. The Stoppa approach is used in the rep...
