Posteromedial elbow dislocation with lateral humeral condyle fracture in children: How to manage? Case report and review of the literature.

Posteromedial dislocation of the elbow is a rare entity even exceptional if associated with a lateral condylar fracture. Very few isolated cases are reported in the English literature. We report an additional case of a 14-year-old child admitted for elbow trauma during scholar sport and presented a posteromedial elbow dislocation associated with a fracture of the lateral humeral condyle.

Gluteus maximus abscess revealing a tuberculous arthritis: A case report and review of the literature.

Although tuberculosis is a widespread disease in Morocco, musculoskeletal form is relatively rare and even rarer when affects the sacroiliac joint. Tuberculous sacroiliitis remains a challenge for orthopedists owing to its insidious onset and non-specific clinical presentation. Herein, we report the case of a 23-year-old male with a growing mass in his left gluteal area, diagnosed with tuberculous sacroiliitis, based on bacteriological and histological findings.

About a new entity in the coronal shear fracture of the distal humerus: Broberg-Morrey's fracture with Laugier's fracture in the same elbow.

Coronal shear fractures of the distal humerus involving only the capitellum or the trochlea are rare injuries Their combination has rarely been described. Herein, we report the case of a 39-year-old man who presented with pain and total functional impotence in his right elbow following a fall; the clinical and radiological findings revealed a new entity in the coronal shear fractures of the distal humerus, which included a comminuted fracture of the capitellar and displaced separate trochlea in the same elbow. This fracture was treated surgically with a good outcome at the last follow-up.

Design and Rationale of the National Tunisian Registry of Heart Failure (NATURE-HF): Protocol for a Multicenter Registry Study.

Background: The frequency of heart failure (HF) in Tunisia is on the rise and has now become a public health concern. This is mainly due to an aging Tunisian population (Tunisia has one of the oldest populations in Africa as well as the highest life expectancy in the continent) and an increase in coronary artery disease and hypertension. However, no extensive data are available on demographic characteristics, prognosis, and quality of care of patients with HF in Tunisia (nor in North Africa).

[Compartment syndrome complicating tennis leg: about a case].

Tennis-leg is a partial or total disinsertion of the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle from its musculoskeletal junction. Patients receiving adequate treatment generally have favorable outcome. Tennis leg is rarely associated with major complications such as acute compartment syndrome.

[Squamous cell carcinoma in a patient with chronic osteomyelitic lesion: a case report].

Squamous cell carcinoma associated with chronic osteomyelitis is rare. However, it must be suspected in patients with modification of common local symptoms. Delayed diagnosis can be fatal.

Simultaneous bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation as a result of minimal trauma.

Simultaneous bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation is rare, it often occurs after high energy trauma, we report a case of a 43-years-old male presented with bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation when he tries to stand up from the floor, shoulders in extension, abduction and external rotation. A closed reduction was performed without complications, and one month later the right shoulder was stabilized by open Laterjet technique. The evolution was favorable for both shoulders with no pain, recuperation of the range motion and no recurrence of dislocation.

A Painless Restricted Motion of the Thumb: What Etiology? About An Uncommon Tumor in Uncommon Localization.

Lipomas in fingers are rare and account for less than 1% of all cases. As a type of lipoma, the spindle cell lipoma is exceptional and it presents 1.5% of total adipocyte tumors.

A report of two challenging cases of bone infection: . How to manage?

The incidence of bone tuberculosis is less than 5% of all tuberculosis cases. Furthermore, multifocal bone tuberculosis is uncommon, which rarely occurs without primary foci. It is difficult to diagnose, particularly if it is localized in both humeral heads.

Factors associated to adequate time in therapeutic range with oral vitamin K antagonists in Tunisia.

Introduction:   The quality of chronic anticoagulation and predictor factors of poor anticoagulant control in patients under acenocoumarol were unknown in North Africa.

Methods: It is an observational study, carried out between November 2015 and November 30, 2016. The international normalized ratio (INR) values were prospectively obtained, and TTR was calculated using the Rosendaal method.

Late presentation of axillary arterial ischemia following a gunshot wound: Case report.

Penetrating injuries of axillary artery are uncommon and associated with high mortality and morbidity rate. Clinical presentation of these injuries may vary; therefore, a high index of suspicion is essential. We are reporting a case of late presentation of axillary arterial ischemia, 10 days after a gunshot wound, which occurred to a 20-year-old male.

Domestic Horse Bite: An Unusual Etiology of Crush Injury of the Fourth Finger-How to Manage?

Almost 2% of all emergency admissions involve an animal bite. While horses bite humans very rarely, their bites are mostly associated with fatalities. Herein, we report the case of a 23-year old bitten by a domestic horse causing a crush injury to his fourth finger with fracture dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint.

Pure Isolated Dorsal Hamatometacarpal Dislocation in a Rider: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Introduction: Pure isolated dislocations of the fifth carpometacarpal joint are extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, the case, we present here, is among the extremely rare cases report of an unstable hamatometacarpal dislocation(HMD)injury successfully treated by a well-molded cast.

Case Report: A 30-year-old rider fell from his horse, causing swelling of the wrist and the fifth finger was rotated with minimal active motion.

Luxatio erecta with greater tuberosity fracture: A case report.

Luxatio erecta is an unusual humeral dislocation. It is frequently associated with neurovascular injuries and concomitant fracture. As such, they require a thorough clinical and imaging evaluation.
