Two cases of neglected posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder with ipsilateral humeral shaft fracture.

Posterior shoulder fracture-dislocations are rare. A combination of this injury with ipsilateral humeral shaft fracture is an extremely rare event. We report two cases of posterior shoulder fracture-dislocation with ipsilateral fracture shaft of humerus treated in our department.

Cement augmentation of intertrochanteric fractures stabilised with intramedullary nailing.

We studied 80 patients (56 females) with an average age of 84 years (range 80-94). All patients were suffering from osteoporosis (1 or 2 Singh score) and had an unstable intertrochanteric fracture, defined as a fracture with three fragments or more. Patients were divided in group A (40 patients), treated by a cement augmentation technique and group B (40 patients) treated by Gamma Nail conventional technique.
