Complications after tibia plateau fracture surgery.

High-energy tibial plateau fractures are often the result of blunt trauma and are associated with severe soft-tissue injury. Fixation techniques demand considerable surgical skill and mature judgment. The available surgical options do not always guarantee a favourable outcome.

Distal biceps tendon rupture.

The authors report a rupture of the distal tendon of biceps brachii in a 42-year-old athlete. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the injury. Early surgical repair was performed by reinsertion of the tendon on the radial tuberosity according to modified Boyd-Anderson technique.
