Article Synopsis
  • This study compares the clinical and radiographic outcomes of two surgical methods (orthogonal vs. parallel plating) for treating intercondylar fractures of the humerus in 50 adult patients.
  • Both groups showed similar preoperative characteristics and functional outcomes, with no significant differences found in the Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS).
  • Radiographically, both plating methods demonstrated comparable healing times and complication rates, indicating that both techniques are effective for this type of fracture, highlighting the need for further research to determine the best approach for different fracture types.

Claudication of the young patient is a very rare symptom for orthopaedic surgeons and it is often overlooked. We report a rare case of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES), discovered during a vascular claudication following post-traumatic anterior instability of the knee. The diagnosis was confirmed by CT angiography which showed a PAES, with a pathway in the inter-condylar notch.
