Quantitative descriptions of the attachment sites main posterolateral knee structures have not been performed.To qualitatively and quantitatively determine anatomic these their relationships to pertinent bony landmarks.Cadaveric study.Dissections were performed measurements taken on 10 nonpaired fresh-frozen cadaveric knees.The fibular collateral ligament had an average femoral slightly proximal (1.4 mm) posterior (3.1 lateral epicondyle. Distally, it attached 8.2 mm anterior aspect head....

Open reduction and internal fixation is currently the accepted treatment for displaced Lisfranc joint injuries. However, even with anatomic stable fixation, of these injuries does not have uniformly excellent outcomes. The objective this study was to compare primary arthrodesis open primarily ligamentous injuries.Forty-one patients an isolated acute or subacute injury were enrolled in a prospective, randomized clinical trial comparing traditional fixation. followed average 42.5 months....

Lower-extremity injury severity scoring systems were developed to assist surgeons in decision-making regarding whether amputate or perform limb salvage after high-energy trauma the lower extremity. These have been shown not be good predictors of amputation salvage. This study was performed evaluate clinical utility five commonly used lower-extremity as final functional outcome.We analyzed data from a cohort patients who participated multicenter prospective and outcomes trauma. Injury...

To compare radiographic and clinical midterm outcomes of posterior malleolar fractures treated with buttress plating versus anterior to lag screw fixation.Retrospective case series.Level I trauma center.Between January 2002 December 2010, patients were identified by Current Procedural Terminology code their charts reviewed for eligibility.Posterior fixation using either (AP) screws or plating.Demographic data, length follow-up, range motion, postoperative Short Musculoskeletal Function...

To compare the short-term results of anterior pelvic external fixation (APEF) versus internal (APIF) applied subcutaneously in context surgical treatment ring injuries. A single center retrospective chart review. level 1 trauma center. consecutive series 48 patients who underwent stabilization their (24 utilizing APIF and 24 APEF) by 2 surgeons at a hospital were studied. The choice to use either APEF or was left up each surgeon, indications for are same. Data collected included...

Orthopaedic trauma etiologies are a common cause for amputation. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is technique aimed at reducing or preventing pain and improving function. The purpose of this study was to examine postoperative phantom limb residual following TMR in orthopaedic amputees. In addition, rates opioid neuromodulator medication use were evaluated.Twenty-five patients (60% male) prospectively enrolled single-institution underwent the time major amputation (48% nonmilitary trauma,...

OBJECTIVES: To determine the rate of and risk factors for reoperation to promote fracture union periprosthetic distal femur fractures treated with lateral locked plating. METHODS: Design : Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Two Level 1 Trauma Centers. Patient Selection Criteria: Adult patients undergoing operative treatment a (OTA/AO 33A or 33C) between 2006 2023 minimum follow-up 3 months. Outcome Measures Comparisons: Reoperation compared across patient, fracture, characteristics....

Retrospective review of scoliosis radiographs.To determine measurement variability in children < or = 10 years age with noncongenital scoliosis.Measurement congenital and adolescent idiopathic has been studied. There is no study young scoliosis.A retrospective followed for was performed. End vertebrae were identified on radiographs, the curves measured (Cobb method) twice by each six observers. The same soft lead pencil goniometer used. Intraobserver interobserver continuous data...

Posterolateral corner injuries can be difficult to diagnose. The external rotation recurvatum test was one of the first clinical tests described diagnose these injuries. Since its earliest description, it has been reported that a positive result occurred with posterior translation proximal tibia respect distal femur as knee went into recurvatum, rotation, and varus angulation.To document sagittal plane relationship tibiofemoral joint in patients posterolateral instability finding, determine...

Inpatient zoledronic acid (IP-ZA) administered during the initial fracture hospitalization significantly improves osteoporosis treatment rate. Clinical outcomes of IP-ZA after hip remain uncertain. Here we report a cohort study that emulated randomized controlled trial using real-world data and evaluated risk all-cause-mortality radiologically confirmed subsequent new fractures among patients hospitalized for who had received as compared with propensity-matched controls. A total 654 6877...

Background The Letournel and Judet classification system is commonly used for classifying acetabular fractures. However, orthopaedic surgeons with less experience these fractures, correct can be more difficult. A stepwise approach has been suggested to enhance the inexperienced observer's ability properly classify but it unclear whether this actually improves one's ability. Questions/purposes We asked (1) use of a step-by-step algorithm residents' (2) resident influenced correctly (3) which...

Case: A 20-year-old man with a history of right lower extremity fibular hemimelia previously treated PRECICE femoral nail lengthening presented broken magnetic and displaced fracture through an ununited distraction osteogenesis site. Using combination techniques, we removed the implant while maintaining achieved limb length preserving native biology without bone grafting. Conclusion: The unique challenges associated removal are described, technique for that preserves length, innate site,...
