Transstyloid, transscaphoid, transcapitate fracture: a variant of scaphocapitate fractures.

Transstyloid, transscaphoid, transcapitate fractures are uncommon. We report the case of a 28-year-old man who sustained this fracture following direct trauma. The patient was successfully treated by open reduction internal fixation of the scaphoid and proximal capitate fragment, with a good clinical outcome at 1-year follow-up.

The Segond fracture: a clue to intra-articular knee pathology.

This short report presents the case of a 32-year-old man with a knee injury sustained while playing football. A plain radiograph revealed a Segond fracture and a subsequent MRI confirmed a complete anterior cruciate ligament rupture. While the Segond fracture, and its associated intra-articular pathology, is well recognised among orthopaedic surgeons, it is less well recognised among staff in the emergency department.
