Ulnar nerve laceration in a closed both bone forearm fracture.

Ulnar nerve injury is rarely associated with closed forearm fractures. This report describes a case of ulnar nerve laceration secondary to a closed fracture of the radius and ulna. Although a case report of an ulnar nerve laceration in an open fracture has been described, a review of the literature failed to reveal any cases in closed injuries.

Anatomic Porous Replacement hip arthroplasty: first 100 consecutive cases.

One hundred consecutive Anatomic Porous Replacement (Intermedics Orthopaedics, Austin, TX) hip replacements were followed for 4 years. Eighty percent of patients had bone ingrowth fixation, 14% stable fibrous, and 6% unstable fibrous (loose) with 4% revised. Only two hips changed fixation grade after 2 years.

Combined anterior and posterior approach to the hip joint in reconstructive and complex arthroplasty.

The combined anterior and posterior approach permits access to the front and back of the hip joint for reconstruction and complex arthroplasty, usually without osteotomy of the greater trochanter, with minimal muscle release. There is ease of access to the anterior and posterior capsule, which can be resected under direct vision, thus permitting accurate hemostasis. The entire acetabular rim is exposed for bone grafting as required.
