Three elderly patients with acetabular fractures not evident on the initial plain radiographs are presented. All had a fall and were unable to bear weight. Cross-sectional imaging and repeated plain radiography confirmed fractures of the acetabulum. Occult acetabular fractures may occur in elderly patients after a fall and present with persistent discomfort and difficulty walking. When there is...

Rheumatoid rosette in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. The rheumatoid rosette test was performed in 159 children. Positive results were found more frequently in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis when more than four joints were involved. It is not to be...

BACKGROUND Treatment of displaced and angulated radial neck fractures in children is controversial and challenging. Numerous studies have been conducted regarding treatment algorithms and surgical techniques that use fluoroscopy. However, ultrasonography (US)-guided reduction of pediatric radial neck fractures has not been reported yet. We aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of US-guided...

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous K-wire leverage (PKWL) reduction and closed intramedullary pinning (CIMP) for the treatment of pediatric radial neck fractures. From June 2010 to December 2013, a total of 50 children with Judet III and IV radial neck fractures were treated at our hospital. Manual closed reduction was first attempted to reduce the radial neck fractures. Upon s...

Background and purpose - Heavily displaced radial neck fractures in children are sometimes associated with poor outcome. A substantial number of these fractures require open reduction. We hypothesized that Judet type-IV fractures with a completely displaced radial head would result in a worse outcome than radial neck fractures with remaining bony contact. Patients and methods - We analyzed 19 c...
