Case: We report a case of chronic, irreducible carpometacarpal (CMC) dislocation the thumb, which was managed with trapeziometacarpal arthrodesis. Conclusion: This demonstrates that arthrodesis is suitable salvage procedure for CMC dislocations thumb.
A 38-year-old woman presented to our clinic with right knee pain and difficulty ambulating. After cultures were obtained, a cryptococcal infection of the patella was identified. Subsequent workup revealed previously undiagnosed HIV/AIDS disseminated infection.
The vast majority of pediatric distal-third tibial shaft fractures can be treated with closed reduction and casting. If conservative measures fail, then these are usually 2 antegrade flexible intramedullary nails. A postoperative cast is applied because the tenuous fixation Recent studies have described use 4 nails to increase stability fixation, a technique that may preclude need for purpose this biomechanical study quantify relative in stiffness load failure when using versus surgically...
Case: Tibial plateau fractures can be associated with arterial injuries or dysvascular limbs, particularly in settings of trauma. Dysvascular limb the setting fracture is commonly due to dissection artery. Entrapment artery within rare. We report a 48-year-old man who presented left popliteal entrapment tibial status-post external fixation and stent placement Conclusion: Findings from this case highlight an as mechanism high-energy lower-extremity specifically for fractures.
