We treated 47 patients with a mean age of 57 years (22 to 88) who had a proximal humeral fracture in which there was a severe varus deformity, using a standard operative protocol of anatomical reduction, fixation with a locking plate and supplementation by structural allografts in unstable fractures. The functional and radiological outcomes were reviewed. At two years after operation the median...

introduction: intramedullary nailing (imn) of high tibia fracture has some mechanical and biological advantages over the other form of fixation. however, valgus, apex anterior malalignment and anterior displacement of proximal fragment commonly occur after isolated imn fixation of proximal high tibia fracture. the purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using 3.5-mm locking c...

INTRODUCTION Anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint with an ipsilateral fracture of the humeral shaft is a rare injury which may require demanding technical skills. CASE PRESENTATION A 33 years old male sustained a work accident. Radiographs showed an anterior dislocation of the shoulder with a transverse fracture of the middle third of the humeral shaft on the same side. The dislocation ...

The results of 39 humeral shaft fractures (37 patients) treated with antegrade locked nailing using a Russell-Taylor nail were reviewed. There were 30 acute fractures, 6 fractures malaligned in a hanging cast or brace, and 3 pathological fractures. Patient age ranged from 26 to 80 years (average, 59.7 years) and average follow-up was 25.7 months (range, 6-48 months). Fracture union was achieved...

INTRODUCTION Though proximal humeral physeal injuries are common in children, reports of proximal humeral physeal injuries with disruption of glenohumeral joint are exceedingly rare. We here report such a case. CASE REPORT A three year old male patient presented to us with proximal humeral physeal separation along with glenohumeral dislocation. Under general anaesthesia, closed reduction coul...
