Palatal fracture is the loss of continuity bone, joint, cartilage epiphyseal both total and partial in palate cavum oris. It classified into three types based on location shape such as sagittal, parasagittal, paraalveolar, transverse, comminuted. Several studies revealed kinds treatment that used depends classification. This literature study aims to describe definition palatal fracture, classif...

Periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are gradually increasing, reflecting extended lifespan, osteoporosis, and the increasing proportion of the elderly during the past decade. Supracondylar periprosthetic femoral fracture is a potential complication after TKA. Generally, open reduction and internal fixation are the conventional option for periprosthetic fracture after TK...

OBJECTIVE To present initial experience of treating patients with comminuted fractures of the diaphyseal and metaphyseal areas of the femur and tibia. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Sixteen patients were involved in the study. All the 16 patients (11 males and 5 females, average age 34 years) with closed, comminuted fractures of femur (n = 9) and tibia (n = 7) were operated on using the principle of mi...

Patients with in situ intramedullary nails sustaining a second distal femoral fracture following high-velocity trauma are infrequently reported in the literature. We report 5 such patients who sustained a second injury after 6 to 24 months, resulting in another fracture at the nail-tip level. These second fractures severely comminuted the femoral condyles. These patients required removal of the...

Ipsilateral dislocation of the shoulder and elbow joints is a rare and complex injury. During the last 25 years, only 3 cases have been reported in the literature. We report a 50-year-old woman who suffered ipsilateral elbow and shoulder dislocation with contralateral comminuted humeral fracture. Both shoulder and elbow joints were reduced, but the elbow was dislocated subsequently at follow-up...

Paediatric supracondylar fractures of the femur are not common. The treatment options depend on the age of child, the site of the fracture, the pattern of injury and the surgeon's preference. We report a case of an 11-year old boy who sustained a comminuted displaced supracondylar fracture of the femur and was treated with indirect reduction and internal fixation with the Less Invasive Stabiliz...

CASE SUMMARY This case report describes the surgical technique used and clinical outcome of a 15-year-old neutered female cat that had a comminuted fracture of the right glenoid and scapular neck secondary to a gunshot injury that was treated with glenoidectomy. RELEVANCE AND NOVEL INFORMATION Good clinical outcomes are possible with removal of the glenoid for treatment of comminuted fracture...

Optimal acute management of the highly comminuted distal ulna head/neck fracture sustained in conjunction with an unstable distal radius fracture requiring operative fixation is not well established. The purpose of the present study was to determine the clinical, radiographic, and functional outcomes following acute primary distal ulna resection for comminuted distal ulna fractures performed in...

PURPOSE To assess the restoration of the bone mass of the distal radius following the use of implants in the distal radial fragment. Highly comminuted Frykman type 7 and 8 fractures were studied to determine whether the use of fixation pins in the comminuted distal radial fragment leads to osteopenia in the distal radial fragment after healing of the fracture. METHODS As part of a clinical tr...

Objective: To present initial experience of treating patients with comminuted fractures of the diaphyseal and metaphyseal areas of the femur and tibia. Subjects and Methods: Sixteen patients were involved in the study. All the16 patients (11 males and 5 females, average age 34 years) with closed, comminuted fractures of femur (n = 9) and tibia (n = 7) were operated on using the principle of min...
