Results There were 102 type C pilon fractures in 99 patients, whose mean age was 42 years (16 to 86) and 77 were male. Primary open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) was performed in 73 patients (71.6%), whilst 20 (19.6%) underwent primary external fixation with delayed ORIF. There were 18 wound infections (17.6%). A total of nine (8.8%) were deep and nine were superficial. Infection was assoc...

An Extremely rare case of periscaphoid and perilunate dislocation of the wrist is reported. The reported case is a young man with trauma following a motor cycle falling down. At first referral closed reduction and six weeks of long arm cast had been performed. The patient reffered to our hospital because of painful and limited range of motion. He underwent open reduction and internal fixatio...

This following case report describes the open reduction, internal fixation and the reconstruction of an extensive comminuted mandibular fracture with bilateral condylar fractures in a 19-year-old male patient with an intellectual disability and autistic disorder. He suffered fall trauma, resulting in shattered bony fragments of the alveolus and mandibular body between both mandibular rami, the ...

Calcaneus fractures are still a delicate point regarding the indication for osteosynthesis. Knowing the skin's poor vascularisation of the back foot, the purpose of this study is to present the benefits of proper surgical options between an open and invasive osteosynthesis with anatomical reduction and internal fixation or minimally invasive approach preserving the quality of the soft parts. 66...

  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 reduc tion and internal fixation or closed reduction and casting.   Methods: To compare surgical versus non-operative results of treatment of trans-scaphoid pe...

Isolated traumatic cuboid dislocation is a rare injury of which ten cases has been only reported. The reported case in this article is a 12-year old boy who had felt from height and his cuboid bone was dislocated due to severe inversion and plantarflexion injury to the foot. There was not anyother fracturedislocation in his extremity. Closed reduction was unsuccessful therefore the bone was red...

Glenoid rim fractures, accompanied by acute glenohumeral dislocation or subluxation usually results in persistent instability. Traditionally open reduction and internal fixation has been recommended in displaced intra-articular glenoid fractures. However, open reduction is difficult, and it may not be possible to address the associated intra-articular soft-tissue injuries. A few reports of arth...
