Successful Treatment of an Osteoporotic Posterior Fracture-Dislocation of the Hip in a Low-Resource Setting Using the Combined Hip Procedure.

The prevalence of osteoporotic acetabular fractures and fracture-dislocations of the hip is increasing worldwide. These injuries are difficult to treat, and outcomes using traditional methods of osteosynthesis have been generally disappointing. Currently, there is debate about the management strategies with no widely held consensus on which technique is best.

Tibialis posterior tendon dislocation: a case report.

Dislocation of the posterior tibial tendon is a rare event, which may occur after trauma particularly sporting accidents. These injuries are frequently misdiagnosed at the initial presentation leading to a delay in treatment. We describe a case of delayed presentation of an atraumatic dislocation of the posterior tibial tendon which was diagnosed accurately and managed with primary repair of the flexor retinaculum.
