Treatment and rehabilitation of subtalar dislocations: A case series and a review of the literature.

Introduction: Subtalar dislocation is an uncommon orthopaedic pathology, representing 1 % of all traumatic injuries of the foot and 1-2 % of all dislocations, mostly affecting young male adults. While its urgent treatment consisting in reduction and immobilization of the dislocation has been well described, disagreement exists about post-operative management with specific regards to immobilization length and rehabilitation protocols.

Materials And Method: A case series of traumatic subtalar dislocations treated with urgent reduction, a mean of 4 weeks immobilization and subsequent rehabilitation is presented, with 1-year minimum clinical and subjective follow up.

Arthroscopic Debridement Enhanced by Intra-Articular Antibiotic-Loaded Calcium Sulphate Beads for Septic Arthritis of a Native Knee Following Iatrogenic Joint Injection: A Case Report.

Septic arthritis (SA) represents an orthopedics urgency and mainly affects the knee joint. Due to its devastating effects on cartilage, immediate management is crucial. SA is characterized by an annual incidence of 2 to 10 cases per 100,000 individuals, with mortality rates fluctuating between 0.

Biological Patch in the Repair of Rotator Cuff Tears: Functional and Clinical Evaluation of Twenty-Three Cases with a Mean Follow-Up of Six Years.

Rotator cuff (RC) repair leads to less than optimal results when dealing with massive lesions, so the use of scaffolds as biological support has been proposed to improve RC repair site biology. The present study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiographical outcomes of a series of patients suffering from massive or irreparable RC tears treated with patch (porcine or human scaffolds) repair (augmentation or bridging). Twenty-three patients with a minimum follow-up of 24 months were subjectively, clinically, and radiographically assessed before and after surgery.

A Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty Implantation With Custom-Made Humerus and Intraoperative GPS Navigation in a Rare Case of Unilateral Hip and Shoulder Dysplasia Associated With a Bone Marrow Mosaic Truncating Variant: Case Report.

Joint dysplasias always represent a great challenge for prosthetic surgeons. The common altered anatomical landmarks and the subversion of the anatomy of soft tissues surrounding the dysplastic joint are problems that can cause difficulties if approached with standard methods. Together with the resolution of functional issues related to dysplasia, the understanding of the underlying cause is fundamental.
