[Leg acute compartment syndrome after Streptococcus pyogenes infection].

Compartment syndrome caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus) has rarely been documented. We report the case of a 53-year-old male, hypertensive, who developed compartment syndrome and myositis in the right lower limb. The patient underwent emergency fasciotomies of the anterior, lateral, superficial posterior and deep posterior compartments of the leg and two subsequent surgical debridements, in addition to receiving antibiotic treatment and delayed closure of the fasciotomies with grafts.

Preliminary clinical and radiological evaluation of osteosynthesis using the Femoral Neck System (FNS) for subcapital fractures of the femur.

Addressing subcapital fractures of the femur poses a substantial clinical challenge, complicated by the diverse range of available osteosynthesis materials. This study is dedicated to a comprehensive analysis of the clinical and radiological implications linked with the implementation of the Femoral Neck System (FNS) in osteosynthesis procedures. A descriptive study was conducted involving patients who underwent osteosynthesis for subcapital fractures of the femur utilizing the FNS during the period from 2019 to 2022.

[There is no difference in clinical outcomes in patients with distal Neer II and Neer V clavicle fractures treated with or without coracoclavicular augmentation systems].

Introduction: the use of coracoclavicular augmentation systems together with locking plates in the treatment of unstable distal clavicle fractures (Neer II and Neer V) is controversial.

Material And Methods: patients with unstable distal clavicle fractures treated between 2013-2022 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into two groups: patients treated with locking plates (P group) and patients treated with locking plates and coracoclavicular augmentation systems (PCC group).
