Double figure of eight technique using fiber tape for acute high-grade acromioclavicular joint dislocations - Reconstruction technique.

Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations are not uncommon injuries. High-grade dislocations can be managed by arthroscopic as well as open techniques, but the most important thing is to address both vertical and horizontal stability. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the functional outcome of a cost effective double figure of eight technique of stabilizing both coracoclavicular and acromioclavicular ligaments in acute high-grade disruption (Type IIIB -VI) using fibre tape.

Invasive fungal infection in immunocompetent trauma patients - A case series.

Zygomycosis is the third leading cause of invasive fungal infection after candidiasis and aspergillosis. Although zygomycosis mostly affects immunocompromised individuals trauma may potentiate infection in immunocompetent individuals. The mortality rate of Zygomycosis is around 50% due to angioinvasion.
