Extensor tendon ruptures due to volar plating in distal radius fractures have mostly been described relation with technique failures such as screw prominence and drill penetration. We report the case of a 71-year-old female C2 fracture severe dorsal metaphyseal comminution. The patient underwent surgical treatment reduction large fragments fixation locking plate; small nonarticular were not reduced. Six months later, developed extensor digitorum communis (EDC) rupture indicis proprius (EIP)...

Bilateral extensor carpi ulnaris and ulnar nerve (UN) instability rare, usually caused by the alteration of structures mainly formed The association between bilateral UN has never been reported.We present case 38-year-old female with no history trauma, diagnosed syndrome, who developed bilateralinstability ulnaris. transposition tenoplasty were performed.Atraumatic new rare clinical...

In the setting of a total hip arthroplasty performed in patient with proximal femoral deformity, atraumatic periprosthetic stress fracture may arise as complication. We report rare case late around cemented stem history fibrous dysplasia femur. After 10-year uneventful period, complained about subtle, subacute pain his left thigh induced by exercise but not daily axial load.

The aim this study to describe the surgical technique, results complications patients who underwent rectus abdominis flap for coverage.Methods: A six-year retrospective review was performed. Demographic characteristics are analyzed. Surgical technique intra-operative described. Postoperative variables, such as donor site complications, recipient survival were also reported....

Anterior radial head dislocation in pediatric population is related to Monteggia fracture-dislocations. Isolated uncommon. Sometimes, becomes irreducible. This entity can develop into chronic conditions such as nerve injuries, early osteoarthritis, limited range of motion and cubitus valgus. We describe a case 9-year-old patient who suffered elbow trauma. He was admitted our institution 40 days after, where diagnosed. condition misdiagnosed at first stage. It irreducible due tear the annular...

Diaphyseal forearm fractures in skeletally immature patients are common injuries that account for 30% of upper extremity this age group. There cases with unstable or unacceptable reductions, which surgical resolution by reduction and stabilisation percutaneous elastic endomedullary nailing is indicated. One the advantages system it avoids an approach to fracture site, allowing closed vast majority fractures. However, not always possible achieve acceptable opening site necessary. The aim...

Las luxaciones subastragalinas (periastragalinas) sin fractura asociada son un cuadro poco frecuente. Representan solo el 1% de las en ser humano. Presentamos tres casos mediales puras pacientes que sufrieron traumatismo alta energía. En todos los casos, tratamiento consistió la reducción cerrada bajo anestesia y posterior inmovilización; evolución fue satisfactoria. requieren diagnóstico temprano una rápida resolución. Con estos se quiere demostrar importancia sospecha diagnóstica beneficio...

Las técnicas quirúrgicas que más se utilizan en la actualidad para fracturas de platillo tibial no contemplan correctamente conminución ósea multiplanar ni presencia fragmentos óseos posteriores. Nos hemos enfrentado con esta problemática al tratar a un paciente fractura tipo Schatzker VI, cual suplementó osteosíntesis habitualmente utilizada una placa horizontal circunferencial posterior. Se logró consolidación y los resultados funcionales corto plazo fueron buenos. Del análisis...
