[Stability, function, alignment and associated injuries after surgical intervention and rehabilitation of tibial plate fracture].

Introduction: tibial plateau fractures affect functionality of a large load bearing joint such as the knee, due to its multiple compromises, not only articular but also the ones including soft tissues. This study aims to evaluate the stability, function, alignment, associated injuries and complications of the knee after surgery and tibial plateau fractures rehabilitation.

Material And Methods: a descriptive prospective observational study was carried out where patients with a tibial plateau fracture who had undergone surgery, that accomplish the inclusion criteria were included, in the period from April 2018 to June 2019.

[No infected union of subtrochanteric fracture of femur, treated with autograft and plate].

Hip fractures are considered a public health problem in the world. Among hip fractures we find subtrochanteric fractures that are defined as proximal femur fractures located in the trochanteric region within 5 cm below the lesser trochanter; and they have an approximate incidence of 15 to 20 per 100,000 people. The objective of this case is to report the success of the reconstruction of an infected subtrochanteric fracture, with a non-vascularized fibular segment and a distal femur condylar support plate.

[Axillary nerve injury associated with shoulder dislocation: case report].

Isolated lesion of the axillary (or circumflex) nerve is infrequent, this is usually associated with a brachial plexus injury. In our institution, in a period comprised between the years 2015-2017, a frequency of only 0.4% of this injury has been observed.
