Introduction: Pediatric radial neck fractures account for 5 to 10% of all elbow fractures [1, . The treatment of radial neck fractures in children varies according to the displacement, angulation, and skeletal maturity. Today open reduction is reserved for comminuted fractures and cases where closed reduction has failed. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the outcome of open ...

Abstract Background Radial neck fractures in the pediatric population represent up to one percent of all fractures. Judet type III and IV radial present difficulties closed open reduction. The Metaizeau technique has been used as a tool reduce these. We case series 17 patients with treated modified technique. Materials Methods Seventeen patients, eight male nine female over two-year period were...

In the last 35 years, the study of acetabular fractures has evolved thanks to the initial work of Judet and Letournel1, to the publication of Letournel and Judet2 and to the research of other authors who have followed in the same school3. Acetabular fractures are caused by high-energy trauma, with traffic accidents, especially automobile accidents being their main cause3. The increase in the nu...

INTRODUCTION Letournel and Judet divided acetabular fractures into elementary and associated types based on the anterior and posterior columns and walls involvement. We report the case of a patient with an isolated quadrilateral plate fracture of pelvis which does not fit in the existing classification. CASE DESCRIPTION A young lady sustained injury to the right hip following a fall from stai...

INTRODUCTION For decades, acetabular fractures were treated conservatively. Judet et al. in 1960s established the operative treatment of these fractures by continuous improvement of pre-operative evaluation and classification of fractures. Several studies demonstrated that accurate fracture reduction decreases the incidence of post-traumatic arthritis and improves functional outcome. CASE SER...

To assess the stability of the hip after acetabular fracture, dynamic fluoroscopic stress views were taken of 41 acetabular fractures that met the criteria for non-operative management. These included roof arcs of 45°, a subchondral CT arc of 10 mm, displacement of less than 50% of the posterior wall, and congruence on the AP and Judet views of the hip. There were three unstable hips which were...
