Effectiveness of controlled telescoping system for lateral hip pain caused by sliding of blade following intramedullary nailing of trochanteric fracture.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of controlled telescoping system for lateral hip pain caused by sliding of the blade following intramedullary nailing of trochanteric fractures.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed to compare the controlled telescoping system (Compression Hip Nail; CHN) with the conventional sliding system (Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation; PFNA) for trochanteric fractures. 74 cases in the PFNA group and 77 cases in the CHN group were included from two university hospitals in this study.

Single Oblique Posterolateral Approach for Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Posterior Malleolar Fractures With an Associated Lateral Malleolar Fracture.

The purpose of the present retrospective study was to describe the single oblique posterolateral approach for open reduction and internal fixation of large, displaced, posterior malleolar fractures with an associated lateral malleolar fracture. A single oblique posterolateral approach was used for osteosynthesis of the posterior and lateral malleolus in 50 consecutive patients (23 females [46%], 27 males [54%]; mean age, 47.44 ± 16.

Fracture of an ossified tibialis anterior tendon.

Fractures of ossified tibialis anterior tendon have been successfully managed by the excision of the ossified tendon and transfer of the extensor hallucis longus tendon. A 64-year-old man sustained an injury during mountain hiking 2 weeks prior to presentation, falling down on his heels with his ankle fully plantarflexed. Two tender and bony hard masses were palpable along the course of the tibialis anterior tendon, one at the anteromedial aspect of the ankle and another at the dorsum of the talonavicular joint.
