hip dislocation occurs when the femur does not break and the force is transmitted towards the hip joint leading to a posterior dislocation of the femoral head with or without posterior acetabular fracture. we present the case of a 26 year old patient involved in motor vehicle accident. clinical and imaging (radiography, ct) examination revealed an intertrochanteric fracture associated with ipsi...

Elbow dislocation associated with both ipsilateral radial and ulnar shaft fractures is a rare pattern of injury, although it is common for elbow dislocation and forearm fractures to occur separately. We report a case of an 80-year-old woman who had a posterolateral elbow dislocation and ipsilateral radial and ulnar shaft fractures and underwent closed reduction and plate fixation. She had an ex...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2012007763 DESCRIPTION Subtalar dislocations are rare types of injury and account for approximately 1% of all dislocations. There is simultaneous disruption of both the talocalcaneal and talonavicular joints, whereas the tibiotalar and calcaneocuboid joints remain undisturbe...

INTRODUCTION Fracture-dislocations of tarsometatarsal joints are rare. Association of these fractures with ankle injuries is very rare; to our knowledge not reported in the literature. Here, we report a rare case of Tarso-metatarsal (Lisfranc) dislocation with bimalleolar fracture with syndesmotic injury. CASE REPORT Patient was treated with closed reduction and fixation of Lisfranc injury wi...

carpal fracture-dislocation is regarded as an unusual orthopedic injury and, thus, orthopedic surgeons are less experienced in dealing with and treating these fractures and dislocations. we report a 20-year-old worker man suffering from an unusual carpal fracture-dislocation. there was trans-scaphoid fracture and lunate dislocation with other carpal proximal bones toward volar of the wrist. two...

This study was conducted to explore epidemiologic features of traumatic elbow dislocation with associated fractures in pediatric population following appropriate treatment options.Incidence of elbow dislocation with associated fractures was analyzed in 67 children using elbow radiographs. Treatment for the displaced elbow joint was performed by closed reduction and proper immobilization. Surgic...

Displaced unstable pelvic fractures are commonly associated with disruption of the osteoarticular junction of the sacroiliac joint. Posterior sacroiliac dislocation are commonly reported but there are only few reports the anterior type of sacroiliac dislocation where the iliac bone fractures and displaces anterior to sacrum, often in combination with fractures of pubic rami and symphyseal injur...

Large glenoid fractures are relatively uncommon with shoulder dislocation. Simultaneous glenoid and greater tuberosity fractures with anterior shoulder dislocation are very rare. We report on a 48-year right-handed male who sustained a fall during skiing. He had anterior shoulder dislocation combined with large glenoid fracture and greater tuberosity fracture. He was treated surgically with fix...

BACKGROUND The epidemiology of acute orthopedic dislocations is poorly understood. A nationwide database provides a valuable resource for examining this issue in the Taiwanese population. METHODS A 6-year retrospective cohort study of 1,000,000 randomly-sampled beneficiaries from the year 2005 was used as the original population. Based on the hospitalized and ambulatory data, the concomitant ...
