CT-Verified Union Rate Following Arthrodesis of Ankle, Hindfoot, or Midfoot: A Systematic Review.

Background: Ankle, hindfoot, and midfoot arthrodesis surgeries are standard procedures performed in orthopaedics to treat pain and functional disabilities. Although fusions can effectively improve pain and quality of life, nonunions remain a significant concern for surgeons. With the increased availability of computed tomography (CT), more surgeons rely on this modality for increased accuracy in determining whether a fusion was successful.

Pediatric Terrible Triad Injury of the Elbow: A Rare and Easily Missed Injury: A Case Report.

Case: We report the case of a pediatric terrible triad injury of the elbow consisting of an ulnohumeral dislocation, a radial neck fracture, and a coronoid chondral injury, which was diagnosed at 14 days following injury. We describe our surgical technique and provide details of the postoperative course, including the development of a rotational contracture following heterotopic ossification.

Conclusion: We describe a rare and challenging injury that should be recognized early and managed surgically to maintain acceptable elbow function.
