Meniscal Entrapment After Tibial Plateau Fracture and Fixation: A Case Report.

Case: A 40-year-old man presented with limited in range of motion, pain, and tenderness over the medial joint line after an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) because of a bicondylar tibial plateau fracture (TPF). The cause of his pain was inconclusive on Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI), so arthroscopy was performed and identified an incarcerated medial meniscus at the fracture site. An osteotomy with medial joint elevation was performed followed by a meniscus release, with excellent results at the 1-year follow-up.

Informal (Hallway) medical consultation in orthopedics-is it as common as it seems?

Introduction: Informal (hallway) medical consultation is an integral part of the physician's work. As musculoskeletal complaints are very common, orthopedic surgeons stand in the frontline of this practice. Many of these consultations are poorly, if at all, documented, thus imposing a potential medical danger to the patient and a medicolegal danger to the surgeon.

Fracture-table-mounted versus bone-mounted dynamic reference frame tracking accuracy using computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery--a comparative study.

Objective: Fluoroscopy-based computerized navigation systems enable accurate implant placement while reducing radiation exposure. The navigation process normally requires the attachment of a dynamic reference frame (DRF) to a bone, causing additional surgical trauma. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of navigation with the DRF either attached to the bone or mounted on the fracture table.
