Prognostic Factors of Function in Nonoperatively Treated Radial Head Fractures: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Objectives: To identify patient-related factors and fracture characteristics influencing the functional outcomes of nonoperatively treated radial head fractures and to determine function at 1 year.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Setting: Academic Level 1 trauma center.

Capsular plication in the non-deformity hip: impact on post-operative joint stability.

Purpose And Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to evaluate the hip joint range of motion after different capsular plication. The study hypothesis proposed that capsular plication after hip arthroscopy may reduce hip external rotation and thus prevent the hip joint instability created by arthroscopic capsulotomies.

Methods: Six fresh frozen human cadavers were studied in the intact state (5 males, 1 females) for a total of 12 non-deformity hips tested.

Incipient malunion of an isolated humeral trochlea fracture treated with an elbow hemiarthroplasty: case report.

We report the case of a 49-year-old woman with severe elbow ankylosis 10 weeks after a trochlea fracture treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Imaging confirmed failure of open reduction and internal fixation with a displaced and severely damaged trochlea. We treated the nascent malunited trochlea and associated elbow ankylosis with a distal humeral hemiarthroplasty and circumferential elbow arthrolysis.
