Ischiofemoral hip ligament reconstructions for recurrent posterior total hip joint dislocations.

Objective: Recurrent dislocations of a total hip joint replacement are a difficult problem to address. We present a technique for reconstructing the ischiofemoral ligament of the hip to prevent recurrent posterior dislocations.

Methods: This is a case series of 5 patients with a reconstruction performed using either a bone-patellar tendon-bone graft autograft or allograft.

Open Ankle Dislocation Without Fractures With Tibialis Posterior Tendon Interposition Through the Interosseous Space.

Open ankle dislocations without fracture are rare injuries. Dislocation or interposition of adjacent tendons are a rare associated feature of ankle fracture-dislocation. We report an extremely unusual case of open ankle dislocation without fracture with concurrent tibialis posterior tendon interposition through the interosseous space that was detected incidentally on computed tomography.

Lumbosacral dislocation injuries: management and outcomes.

Lumbosacral dislocations are rare high-energy injuries most often reported as isolated cases. Improved outcomes from major trauma means that these cases will likely become more common. We report six cases treated at our institution in the last decade.

Radiologic stability of titanium mesh cages for anterior spinal reconstruction following thoracolumbar corpectomy.

Background: This work evaluated the radiologic stability of titanium mesh cages (TMCs) when used for single-level corpectomy reconstruction of thoracic and thoracolumbar spine.

Methods: Thirty-one patients underwent reconstruction for acute fractures (n = 15), posttraumatic deformity reconstruction (n = 10), neoplastic disorders (n = 4), and infection (n = 2). The cages were placed after corpectomy and excision of the adjacent intervertebral discs.
