[Intra-articular fracture of the calcaneus associated with injury to lateral collateral ligaments of the ankle].

Calcaneal fractures are the most frequent of the tarsus (3.5% of all fractures). Young adults are mainly affected, being more frequent in men (5.

[Conservation surgery and early rehabilitation in massive necrotizing fasciitis of the lower limbs].

Necrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening infection. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential. Reconstruction techniques and rehabilitation protocols have been poorly described.

Comparison between functionality and quality of reduction between suprapatellar vs infrapatellar approaches in the treatment of diaphyseal and distal tibial fractures.

Introduction: Intramedullary nailing is the most frequent procedure used for the treatment of tibial fractures that do not involve the articular surfaces. The goal of this study is to analyse the clinical outcomes, time of surgery and use of fluoroscopy in patients with midshaft and distal tibial fractures treated with suprapatellar and infrapatellar nailing and compare the results between these different groups.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted, and patients were selected between the period of March 2018 and October 2019.

[Intramedullary nail for the surgical treatment of unstable fractures of the femur in previously amputated patients].

Introduction: Femoral fractures in previously amputated patients (PAP) have been poorly reported in international literature, however it is worth mentioning that advances in the manufacture of orthotics for lower limbs have allowed these patients to remain functionally active. Surgery is then an option but difficulties may appear in positioning the patient for surgery due to the absence of the foot or ankle from where to pull and optimize the fracture reduction.

Objective: We report 3 cases of PAP with ipsilateral unstable femur fractures, treated surgically with cervicodiaphyseal endomedular nail.
