Clinical and Functional Results Following Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Young Patients.

Introduction:  Posterior cruciate ligament injuries are uncommon, and their management is controversial. However, surgical reconstruction is necessary in case of symptomatic lesions. The present study aimed to analyse patients' reported outcomes and clinical evaluation after isolated posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Satisfactory Short-Term Outcomes of Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty for Complex Three- and Four-Part Fractures of the Humeral Head in Octogenarians.

Background: Proximal humeral fractures with severe comminution and poor bone quality are among the most common injuries in the elderly population. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has been widely used to manage complex three- and four-part humeral head fractures. The purpose of the present study was to report the result of this technique in the demanding population of octogenarians.

Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty for the Treatment of 3 and 4- Part Fractures of the Humeral Head in the Elderly.

Background: Proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients present with severe comminution and osteoporotic bone quality. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty has lately been proven beneficial in treating patients with complex proximal humeral fractures. The above technique is recommended and has better results in elderly than in younger individuals.

Lower limb deformity following proximal tibia physeal injury: long-term follow-up.

Background: Proximal tibial physeal injuries are quite rare, but their complications can be of great importance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of this injury on the axis and length of a child's limb.

Materials And Methods: This study focused on 12 patients with proximal physeal injury of the tibia (8 boys and 4 girls; mean age at the time of injury: 8.

Outcome of distal clavicular fracture separations and dislocations in immature skeleton.

Background: There are only a few studies with long-term follow-up of distal clavicular injuries in children and their treatment is not clearly defined. The purpose of our study is to suggest a new classification system according to the fracture pattern and the degree of the displacement, to evaluate the long-term follow-up and also to propose an algorithm for treatment.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study from 1983 to 2008.
