The relation between foot pronation and stress fractures has been suggested. However, evidence based literature is lacking and contradictory. The purpose of this study was to examine whether dynamic parameters of foot pronation are related to the development of stress fractures of the femur and tibia. 2 weeks prior to beginning of 14 weeks of basic military training, 473 infantry recruits were ...

Although bilateral anterior dislocation of shoulder is not that uncommon, there have been only 12 published reports on bilateral anterior fracture dislocation of shoulder. The associated fractures have mostly been greater tuberosity fractures with bilateral three part fractures being reported in only two cases. To our knowledge, a bilateral four part anterior fracture dislocation of the s...

A case in which a patient with normal bone texture suffered a posterior shoulder dislocation combined with bilateral sub-capital femoral neck fractures during an ictal episode and in which the diagnosis of bilateral hip fractures was delayed is described.

Traumatic posterior dislocation of the hip associated with a fracture of the posterior acetabular wall and of the neck of the femur is a rare injury. A 29-year-old man presented at a level 1 trauma centre with a locked posterior dislocation of the right hip, with fractures of the femoral neck and the posterior wall of the acetabulum after a bicycle accident. An attempted closed reduction had fa...

BACKGROUND There is a large amount of information regarding risk factors for fifth metatarsal stress fractures; however, there are few studies involving large numbers of subjects. This study aimed to compare the static foot alignment and distribution of foot pressure of athletes with and without a history of fifth metatarsal stress fractures. METHODS The study participants comprised 335 colle...

Radiocarpal dislocation is an extremely uncommon injury in Traumatology, and is usually produced by high energy trauma. There are two types of dislocation, type I: pure radiocarpal dislocation and type II: fracture-dislocation. The gold standard treatment according to the literature is surgical treatment fixing the fractures and repairing the injured ligaments. We report a clinical case of radi...

INTRODUCTION Traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder is an emergency and warrants urgent attention. However, it becomes difficult to manage in cases of associated fractures of humerus and other bones surrounding the shoulder joint. There have been reports of traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder associated with humeral fractures in the literature but the trilogy of anterior disl...

absractall perilunate fracture-dislocations combine bone avulsions, ligament disruptionand fractures in different forms. the most frequent pattern is the dorsal transscaphoidperilunate fracture-dislocation. the reported risk of missed initial diagnosisin perilunate dislocations is as high as 20%. concerning pathomechanics of theperilunate fracture-dislocation, it should be noted that most dorsa...

We undertook a prospective study to determine the type and distribution of foot and ankle snowboarding injuries. Reports of 3213 snowboarding injuries were collected from 12 Colorado ski resorts between 1988 and 1995. Of these, 491 (15.3%) were ankle injuries and 58 (1.8%) were foot injuries. Ankle injuries included 216 (44%) fractures and 255 (52%) sprains. Thirty-three (57%) of the foot injur...

evidence acquisition a search of pubmed for studies on proximal fifth metatarsal fracture and jones fracture focusing on the classification and management was performed. the reference list of the retrieved articles was searched for additional related studies. conclusions lawrence and botte’s classification of proximal fifth metatarsal fractures is recommended by experts, due to its implication ...
