Arthroscopically assisted reconstruction of triangular fibrocartilage complex foveal avulsion in the ulnar variance-positive patient.

Purpose: Our aim was to evaluate the clinical results of patients treated by arthroscopically assisted reconstruction of foveal avulsion injury of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) using a suture anchor.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the results of 15 patients (11 men and 4 women; mean age, 30.5 years) who underwent surgical procedures for the treatment of TFCC foveal avulsion at our hospital.

Proximal radioulnar translocation associated with elbow dislocation and radial neck fracture in child: a case report and review of literature.

Proximal radioulnar translocation with radial neck fracture and elbow dislocation is extremely rare. We report a case of a 5-year-old boy who was presented with elbow dislocation, and proximal radioulnar translocation was diagnosed a day after the injury. Mini-open technique was used to reduce the translocation and radial neck fracture.

Closed rupture of flexor tendon by hyperextension mechanism in wrist level (zone V): a report of three cases.

Closed flexor tendon ruptures due to trauma without external wound are rare. When the flexor tendon has excessive loading, failure occurs at the tendon insertion or its origin from the bone. It is likely to result in avulsion fracture rather than rupture of the proper portion of the tendon by forceful grasping with hyperextension.

Linburg-Comstock syndrome involving four fingers: a case report and review of the literature.

We report a case of a 14-year-old boy who presented with the inability to independently move fingers on either hand. On physical examination, simultaneous flexion of the index, middle and ring fingers was noted when he actively flexed the distal joint of the thumb. A surgical exploration was performed and anomalous tendinous interconnections between the flexor pollicis longus-index flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) and index FDP-middle FDP were observed and removed.

Operative treatment for proximal phalangeal neck fractures of the finger in children.

Displacement and inappropriate treatment of a proximal phalangeal neck fracture may result in malunion of the fracture with consequent loss of motion and gross deformity, especially in children. We performed a retrospective study of twenty-four patients who had undergone operative treatment for a proximal phalangeal neck fracture, with a mean follow-up evaluation of 14 months (range: 12-30 months). We analyzed the types of fractures, their causes, operative treatments, complications, and functional outcomes.
