Impact of coronal plane fragments and anterior big neck fragments on the occurrence of perioperative lateral wall fractures in AO/OTA 31-A1,2 intertrochanteric fractures treated with cephalomedullary nailing.

Purpose: Cephalomedullary nails are used widely today for pertrochanteric fractures, and intraoperative lateral wall fractures can cause adverse effects. Recently, a high incidence of coronal fragments in pertrochanteric fractures was reported when analyzed with 3D CT reconstructions. In this study, we analyzed the association between the type of coronal fragments and perioperative lateral wall fractures.

Prevesicular herpes zoster lumbar radiculopathy with transient motor paresis: A case report.

Rationale: Herpes zoster frequently causes dermatomal vesicular rash accompanied by severe neuralgia, and reaching a differential diagnosis may be challenging before the appearance of the vesicular rash.

Patient Concerns: A 40-year-old male patient visited the emergency department with a complaint of sudden onset motor weakness and ipsilateral radiating neuralgia to the Lt. thigh.

Symptomatic bilateral massive pulmonary embolism and proximal and distal deep vein thrombosis following arthroscopic meniscus surgery: A case report.

Rationale: The incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after knee arthroscopy is remarkably lower than that of arthroplasty. We describe a patient with symptomatic bilateral massive pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the femoral and popliteal veins after arthroscopic meniscus repair surgery.

Patient Concerns: The patient underwent arthroscopic meniscus repair with no intraoperative complication.
