Superior patellar dislocation is a very rare pathology, which happens in middle age. We report a case of spontaneous superior patellar dislocation, which occurred at 30 years of age. Differential diagnosis is patellar tendon rupture, which could be reliably excluded by clinical examination and radiographs. Reduction manoeuvres should be tried with diluted intra-articular local anaesthetic for h...

We present two patients with complaints of shoulder pain after an epileptic seizure. Both patients had a posterior dislocation fracture of the shoulder. After reviewing the literature the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) A posterior shoulder dislocation fracture is rare. (2) One should not underestimate the muscular forces in seizure disorders and be alert for dislocation fractures of th...

background the management of distal tibia fractures continues to remain a source of controversy and debate. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the various complications of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (mippo) using a locking plate for closed fractures of distal tibia in a retrospective study. patients and methods twenty-five patients with distal tibial frac...

BACKGROUND The first case of Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type V in the Polish literature is reported. CASE REPORT Skeletal survey of an 8 year old girl with a history of multiple fractures and bilateral dislocation of radial heads was received for consultation. CONCLUSIONS Generalised osteoporosis with multiple fractures, periosteal thickening and bilateral dislocation of the radial heads are c...

INTRODUCTION The debate regarding the description on classification and nomenclature of the injury which includes olecranon fracture associated with radial neck fractures in children is ongoing. We report two pediatric cases that could not be classified in a Monteggia-equivalents system and were treated with open reduction and k-wire fixation. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic r...

A 48-year-old Hispanic male presented to the emergency department for medication refill for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Upon presentation, the patient reported running out of insulin (Novolin) one month prior. The patient also noted increased swelling and pain in his right foot for approximately that same period of time. The patient denied any trauma to his right foot and reported pain...

We present the results of 506 consecutive Howse hip arthroplasties with a minimum follow-up of 10 years. The mortality within one month of surgery was 0.79%. The early dislocation rate was 1.38%, two hips requiring revision. Nine hips developed deep sepsis (1.78%), eight of which required revision. At 10 years 42 hips (8.3%) had required revision, including 14 with aseptic acetabular loosening ...

.These injuries affect the neck of the talus, more than the head or the body. Talar body fractures of the talus are uncommon accounting for 7– 38% of all talus fractures 4-6 . A combined talar body fracture and medial malleolus fracture is rare. We identified only three cases of this combination without any dislocation of the talar body fragment or pilon fracture. Very few reports in literature...

The mandibular condyle region which protects the middle cranial fossa from facial and jaw traumas has an excellent osteomuscular structure. Condylar structures reduce or limit the force of trauma. Most importantly, the condylar neck is the weakest part of the mandible and is easily fractured without dislocation. Generally, this mechanism prevents condylar penetration into the middle cranial fos...
