Simultaneous ipsilateral hip and knee dislocation: Management and outcome - A case report.

Case: This clinical case report presents a 40-year-old male who sustained an ipsilateral hip and knee dislocation with ipsilateral femoral head fracture and incomplete femoral neck fracture following a motorcycle collision.

Conclusion: This report describes acute and later definitive orthopedic care and management, with focus on urgent interventions and timing of immediate treatments. Given the presented patient's favorable clinical outcomes, return to baseline activities, and absence of significant sequelae following injury, the considerations from the acute management and surgical planning of this patient's injuries can be used as a reference for treating the rare injury of ipsilateral knee and hip dislocations.

Insertion sites of iliosacral screws on the posterior ilium: Implications for posterior pelvic fixation.

Objectives: Lateral compression type II pelvic ring injuries can be treated with fixation through open or percutaneous approaches depending on the injury pattern and available osseous fixation pathways. The start site of iliosacral screws to stabilize these injuries should be on the unstable posterior iliac fragment; however, our understanding of start sites for iliosacral screws has not been developed. The purpose of this study is to provide an analysis of iliosacral screw start sites on the posterior ilium to help guide treatment of pelvic ring injuries.

Retrograde intramedullary nailing of AO/OTA 33C femur fractures in patients with below-knee amputations: technical note and case series.

Purpose: Intra-articular distal femur fractures in patients with a lower extremity amputation can present a technical challenge for the treating surgeon in what may be otherwise considered a routine procedure in non-amputees. Difficulties with positioning, fracture reduction, limb contractures, and stump osteoporosis can present challenges with treatment. Here, we describe the surgical technique and outcome of a case series of amputee patients with AO/OTA 33C femur fractures.
