Rupture of the Fibro-Osseous Septum of the Second Extensor Compartment as the Cause of True Dorsal Trigger Wrist: Case Report.

This article presents a case of a dorsal trigger wrist, which was brought on by a rupture of the fibro-osseous septum of the second extensor compartment. This situation is highly uncommon and has not been previously documented. The septum, which divides the extensor carpi radialis brevis and the extensor carpi radialis longus on the second extensor compartment, is present in almost 45% of the population.

Late Periprosthetic Femoral Stress Fracture Associated with Extra-articular Deformity in a Patient with Fibrous Dysplasia: A Case Report.

Case: In the setting of a total hip arthroplasty performed in a patient with a proximal femoral deformity, atraumatic periprosthetic femoral stress fracture may arise as a complication. We report a rare case of a late periprosthetic femoral stress fracture around a cemented stem in a patient with a history of fibrous dysplasia of the proximal femur. After a 10-year uneventful period, the patient complained about a subtle, subacute pain in his left thigh induced by exercise but not with daily axial load.

Radius shortening as a limiting factor for closed reduction in pediatric forearm fractures.

Introduction: Diaphyseal forearm fractures in skeletally immature patients are common injuries that account for 30% of upper extremity fractures in this age group. There are cases with unstable injuries or unacceptable reductions, in which surgical resolution by reduction and stabilisation with percutaneous elastic endomedullary nailing is indicated. One of the advantages of this system is that it avoids an approach to the fracture site, allowing closed reduction in the vast majority of fractures.

Treatment of terrible triad injuries at a mean follow-up of nine years.

Background: To evaluate the sustainability of the early clinical and radiological outcomes of terrible triad injuries at long-term follow-up.

Methods: Twelve consecutive patients who underwent fixation of terrible triad injuries with minimum of seven years of follow-up. Functional and radiological outcomes at one year and final follow-up were compared.

Fasciitis and Streptococcal Toxic-shock Syndrome: The Importance of Early Diagnosis and Surgical Management.

Introduction: Fasciitis of the limb and toxic-shock syndrome due to Streptococcus Pyogenes infection is considered a surgical emergency. This condition may occur in previously healthy patients. It is a life-threatening condition with high morbidity rates when treatment is delayed due to poor diagnosis and non-surgical intervention.

[Isolated irreducible anterior radial head dislocation in a child: a rare case report].

Anterior radial head dislocation in pediatric population is related to Monteggia fracture-dislocations. Isolated radial head dislocation is uncommon. Sometimes, radial head dislocation becomes irreducible.

Refractory actinomycosis of the humerus.

Actinomycosis is a chronic, opportunistic infection caused by species, such as . Actinomycosis in long bones is very rare. To the best of our knowledge, isolated primary actinomycosis of the humerus is rarely reported in literature.
