Posterior iliac crescent fracture-dislocation is generally considered rotationally unstable and vertically stable. The current study (1) investigated whether vertical instability may occur in posterior iliac crescent fracture-dislocation and (2) analyzed the clinical features of vertically unstable iliac crescent fracture-dislocation as well as treatment strategies. Patients with pelvic fractur...

conclusions a neglected hip dislocation with acetabular fracture can be managed satisfactorily with uncemented thr. bone reconstruction using chunk grafts and use of cementless components ensures long-term survival and also preserves adequate bone stock for revision, especially in young patients. introduction posterior hip dislocation of the hip with acetabular fracture is a challenging problem...

Anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint with ipsilateral humerus shaft fracture is a very rare injury. Until July 2006 only 18 cases have been reported in the literature. Here we report a case of Anterior Shoulder dislocation with greater tuberosity and shaft of humerus fracture. The patient was treated by Open reduction and internal fixation of the shaft fracture followed by closed reductio...

We present two patients with complaints of shoulder pain after an epileptic seizure. Both patients had a posterior dislocation fracture of the shoulder. After reviewing the literature the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) A posterior shoulder dislocation fracture is rare. (2) One should not underestimate the muscular forces in seizure disorders and be alert for dislocation fractures of th...

Pathological fractures as a consequence of convulsive seizures without direct trauma occur in 0.3% of cases. Some lesions such as bilateral posterior dislocation of the shoulder, fracture-dislocation of the shoulder or fracture and/or dislocation of the hip strongly suggest a seizure as the aetiology. We report on a patient with simultaneous central dislocation of one hip with fracture of the c...

L5S1 fracture-dislocations are rare three-column injuries. The infrequency of this injury has led to a lack of a universally accepted treatment strategy. Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) has been shown to be an effective approach for interbody fusion in degenerative indications, but has not been previously reported in the operative management of traumatic lumbosacral dislocation. T...

The incidence of traumatic hip dislocation has increased in recent years as a result of high-energy trauma. Anterior hip dislocation forms less than 10-15% of all traumatic hip dislocations. Only a few case reports describe anterior dislocation along with acetabular fractures. The acetabular fracture involved the anterior wall or column in all such cases. We describe a rare case in which anteri...

BACKGROUND Prevalence of recurrent shoulder dislocation in patients taking tramadol has not been studied yet; so, this study aims to study the recurrent shoulder dislocation following tramadol induced seizure. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 205 patients with recurrent shoulder dislocation complaints (2 or more) referred to Shafa Orthopedic and Iranmehr hospitals Tehran, Iran, from Oct...

Abstract Introduction Double injury patterns in the form of Monteggia or Galeazzi fracture dislocation represent a spectrum of forearm injuries which are severe and usually necessitate operative intervention. Association of ulnar dislocation with proximal radioulnar disruption with fracture of the radial shaft, without dislocation of radiohumeral joint, represents a rare and unusual double inju...

BACKGROUND Trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture-dislocation and perilunate dislocations are among uncommon injuries, most commonly seen in young patients due to high energy trauma. The treatment can be achieved either surgically by open reduction and internal fixation or closed reduction and casting. METHODS To compare surgical versus non-operative results of treatment after trans-scaphoid peri...
