BACKGROUND There is a paucity of information pertaining to the pathoanatomy and treatment of symptomatic olecranon traction spurs. PURPOSE To describe the pathoanatomy of olecranon traction spur formation, a technique for spur resection, and a series of patients who failed conservative care and underwent operative treatment. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS Eleven p...

Background: Olecranon fractures are common upper limb fracture accounting for 40% of the around elbow. Anatomic reduction and restoration joint surface is required good outcome to prevent post-traumatic arthritis.

INTRODUCTION Giant cell tumor (GCT) is a bone tumor involving epiphyseal area of bone abutting the subchondral bone. Commonly found in long bones such as proximal tibia and distal femur. We report a case of GCT of olecranon bone in a 23-year-old male. CASE REPORT A 23-year-old patient presented to our outpatient department with pain and mild swelling at the elbow from last 2 to 3 months. On e...

Background & Aims: Tibia fractures are the most common long bone fracture. Due to minimal soft tissue and its blood supply, inadequate treatment of injuries could be a major cause of morbidity and disability. The intramedullary nail is the preferred method of treatment; however, despite all previous studies, no accurate method to measure nail length prior to surgery exists as yet. Due to the im...

We report here the clinical presentation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and successful surgical management associated with triceps tendon avulsion in a dog. A definitive diagnosis of triceps tendon avulsion was made based on MRI with evidence of displacement of the triceps tendon. Surgical correction of triceps tendon avulsion was performed with two horizontal mattress sutures using...

BACKGROUND The main progression of idiopathic scoliosis occurs during peak height growth velocity, which is between the ages of eleven and thirteen years in girls and thirteen and fifteen years in boys and corresponds to the accelerating phase of pubertal growth. The Risser sign remains at grade 0 during this stage of growth. Triradiate cartilage closure occurs at approximately twelve years of ...
