Traumatic Dislocation of Tibialis Posterior Tendon: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Traumatic dislocation of the tibialis posterior tendon is one of the significantly rare conditions that we might deal with in the emergency department. Approximately only 50 cases have been reported in the literature, and, usually, this condition is misdiagnosed as an ankle sprain in acute settings. It might be neglected in case of improper clinical examination and imaging techniques.

Venous thromboembolism after shoulder arthroplasty: a report of three cases.

Venous thromboembolism after shoulder arthroplasty: a systematic review.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) as a complication has received little attention when it occurs after SA. The literature lacks a comprehensive summary of the incidence, risk factors, and prophylaxis of VTE in this population of patients.
