Aviator's Fracture - Bilateral Fracture-Dislocation of Talus in a 29-year-old Patient: A Case Report.

Bilateral fracture-dislocation of the talus is a rare occurrence. It represents 0.06% of the dislocations and 2% of the traumas of the talus.

Clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients operated for complex open tibial pilon fractures.

Aim: To report clinical and radiographic results of treatment of patients with complex open tibial pilon fractures.

Methods: A retrospective analysis in 14 patients with complex open pilon fractures treated between 2010 and 2015 was conducted. The injuries were graded according to AO Classification and the Gustillo-Anderson system.

Transiliosacral fixation using the O-ARM2® and STEALTHSTATION® navigation system.

Pelvic fractures are quite uncommon, they represent only 2-8% of all fractures. Osteosynthesis with percutaneous trans-Iliosacral screw is recognized as one of the standard procedures for the treatment of unstable posterior pelvic ring lesions. Because of the high number of complications associated with the conservative treatment of these kind of lesions such as pain, limb heterometry, difficulty in walking and sexual disability, percutaneous fixation with trans-iliosacral screw has found wide use and has become very popular among orthopedic surgeons.

Comparison between posterior sacral plate stabilization versus minimally invasive transiliac-transsacral lag-screw fixation in fractures of sacrum: a single-centre experience.

Purpose: The sacrum is a mechanical nucleus working as the base for the spinal column, as well as the keystone of the pelvic ring. Thus, injuries of the sacrum can lead to biomechanical instability and nerve conduction abnormality.

Methods: The common classification is the Denis classification, but these fractures are often part of a lesion of the posterior pelvic ring and therefore the Tile classification is very useful.
