Testicular Dislocation After Unstable Pelvic Ring Injury.

Reproductive and genitourinary complications following pelvic ring injuries have been described; however, testicular dislocation is rare and can cause significant morbidity if not managed appropriately. We describe a case of testicular dislocation after pelvic ring injury and outline the subsequent management and outcome, and seek to identify areas of improvement to ensure expedient and appropriate care in the setting of these injuries. Our case describes a 29-year-old male who presented to a level-one trauma center following a motorcycle collision.

Treatment of Bone Loss With the Induced Membrane Technique: Techniques and Outcomes.

Objectives: To critically review the outcomes and issues associated with the induced membrane technique in a trauma population.

Design: Retrospective case series, Level IV therapeutic study.

Setting: Urban Level I trauma center.

Retrograde Versus Antegrade Femoral Bone Graft Harvesting Using the Reamer-Irrigator-Aspirator.

Objectives: To compare retrograde versus antegrade femoral bone graft harvesting using the reamer-irrigator-aspirator system to determine whether there was any difference in intraoperative, postoperative, or patient outcome variables.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Urban Level I Trauma Center.

Plating of patella fractures: techniques and outcomes.

Operative treatment of displaced patella fractures with tension band fixation remains the gold standard, but is associated with a significant rate of complications and symptomatic implants. Despite the evolution of tension band fixation to include cannulated screws, surprisingly little other development has been made to improve overall patient outcomes. In this article, we present the techniques and outcomes of patella plating for displaced patella fractures and patella nonunions.
