Closed subtalar dislocation with non-displaced fractures of talus and navicular: a case report and review of the literature.

Closed subtalar dislocations associated with talus and navicular fractures are rare injuries. We report on a case of a 43-year-old builder man with medial subtalar dislocation that was further complicated by minimally displaced talar and navicular fractures. Successful closed reduction under general anesthesia was followed by non-weight bearing and ankle immobilization with a below-knee cast for 6 ;weeks.

Surgical management of closed tibiotalar dislocation: a case report and 2-year follow-up.

Unlabelled: We report a case of a closed tibiotalar dislocation without an associated malleolar fracture, in the presence of medial malleolar hypoplasia, treated with closed reduction and surgical repair of the deltoid ligament, followed by cast immobilization. Post-reduction radiographs, before open repair of the deltoid ligament, revealed an Elisé test ratio of 0.43.

A Combined Repair Technique for Early Neglected Achilles Tendon Ruptures.

Objective: This study presents the long-term results of a combined technique, using both Duthie's biological repair and a plantaris tendon transfer for the reconstruction of early neglected tendo Achilles ruptures.

Materials And Method: Between January 2000 and November 2004, nine patients with an early neglected Achilles tendon rupture (≥ 4 and ≤ 12 weeks from injury), underwent surgical reconstruction. Eight patients were male and one female, their age was average 41 years and the median follow-up period was 3.

Chondromyxoid fibroma: a rare tumor with an unusual location.

Chondromyxoid fibroma constitutes a rare benign tumor of the bones, which has a potential of regional enlargement towards the local tissues. An adult male patient at the age of 28 suffered a fracture of the lateral malleolus due to an eccentric, lytic, lobular lesion in the epiphysis, during a basketball match. The differential diagnosis included the chondroblastoma, the aneurysmal cyst and the chondrosarcoma.
