> 10-year outcome of dislocated radial fractures with concomitant intracarpal lesions as proven by MRI and CT.

To clarify the role of concomitant carpal lesions in dislocated distal radius fractures (DRF), 104 consecutive patients with DRF underwent a preoperative morphological examination using CT and MRI. The study was performed between 2004 and 2006 with the aim of recording all types of concomitant carpal lesions as well as their consequences after 1 year. Carpal lesions of different types were found in all treated cases of dislocated DRF.

1-Year outcome of concomitant intracarpal lesions in patients with dislocated distal radial fractures: a systematic assessment of 78 distal radial fractures.

Introduction: Ligamentous lesions are concomitant to dislocated distal radius fractures in a high percentage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relevance of intracarpal lesions.

Methods: Seventy eight of an original cohort of 104 distal radius fractures (74%) were studied over a follow-up period of one year after surgery with complete data (X-rays, CT, MRI, follow-up X-rays and questionnaire).

[Peripheral nerve lesions of the lower leg due to tibiofibular ganglion].

Cystic formations around the knee are a common object of orthopedic treatment. When associated with neurological or vascular deficits further diagnostic imaging is required. This case study demonstrates the appearance of an intramuscular ganglion causing drop foot, arising from the tibio-fibular joint.

[Medical and sociodemographic aspects of domestic violence. Systematic evaluation of patient data from the emergency department of a maximum care hospital].

Background: Injuries due to domestic violence are a frequent occurrence in emergency departments. Although domestic violence has been well analyzed from the sociological point of view, medical data concerning patterns of injuries are rare.

Methods: Victims of domestic violence who presented at the emergency department of a maximum care hospital were included in the study.
