Jammed ulnar nerve after distal radius fracture: A case report.

Background: Ulnar nerve lesions represent a rare complication of wrist fracture. The present manuscript describes the case of a particular traumatic mechanism in which the nerve resulted crushed between radial fracture fragments.

Case Presentation: A 47-year-old man suffered a subtotal lesion of the ulnar nerve following an open displaced distal radius fracture.

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with LARS™ artificial ligament results at a mean follow-up of eight years.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to review patients that underwent ACL reconstruction with the LARS™ ligament in the First Orthopaedic Division of Pisa University during the period between January 2003 and December 2005.

Methods: Twenty-six patients were reviewed with an average follow-up of 95.3 months (7.

The dual radius hemispherical 'Trident" cup: results based on 150 consecutive cases.

Introduction: Initial stability with press-fit cups can be achieved in a number of ways based on the design of the cup. With line-to-line fit, screws fixation, press-fit of 1 to 2 mm which is obtained by an oversized hemispherical cup, initial stability can be achieved with the dual-radius press-fit cups, which have an equatorial diameter 1 to 2 mm greater than that of the polar diameter, to ensure a good press-fit and to provide adequate initial stability for bone ingrowth to occur reliably.

Methods: Between January 2002 and January 2008, 400 total hip replacements (THRs) were carried out.

A multidisciplinary approach and surgical tips in major amputations of diabetic patients.

We aim to describe the results obtained in major amputations (transtibial and transfemoral) of diabetic patients followed with a close combined approach (medical and surgical). We evaluated 37 cases with an average age of 73.55 years.
