Medium-term outcome of posterior surgery in the treatment of non-tuberculous bacterial spinal infection.

Objective: to evaluate the outcome of posterior spinal stabilization surgery for the management of bacterial spinal infection.

Methods: 21 patients with bacterial infection were managed surgically with posterior stabilization. Outcome measures included neurological status.

Early failure of a knee replacement in a neuropathic joint. A case report.

Total knee arthroplasty in neuropathic (Charcot) joints is technically demanding. Most studies report significant improvement in knee function, despite a high incidence of complications. We present a case of idiopathic, unilateral neuropathic arthropathy of the knee treated with a modular stemmed, constrained total knee arthroplasty.

Segmental radius and ulna fractures with scaphocapitate fractures and bilateral multiple epiphyseal fractures.

Segmental forearm fractures are rare in children, and management is controversial. Epiphyseal injuries further complicate matters. We report the case of a 15-year-old boy who had segmental radius and ulna fractures with a coronal split of a metaphyseal fragment, along with bilateral epiphyseal fractures of the distal radius and ulna as well as ipsilateral scaphocapitate fractures with perilunate dislocation.
