Biomechanical Comparison of Conventional Plate and the C-Nail System for the Treatment of Displaced Intra-Articular Calcaneal Fractures: A Finite Element Analysis.

The C-Nail system is a novel intramedullary fixation method for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical performance of the C-Nail system and compare it with conventional plate fixation for the treatment of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures using finite element analysis. The geometry of a Sanders type-IIB fracture was constructed using the computer-aided design software Ansys SpaceClaim.

Atypical Sites of the Lipoma on the Hand and Fingers: Clinical and Imaging Features and Surgical Outcomes.

Background: Lipomas are the most frequent benign soft tissue tumor that are rarely found in the hand and are exceptionally rare on the fingers. The aim of this study was to investigate lipomas of atypical locations, so that they can be taken into account when making a differential diagnosis of a tumor of the hand or fingers.

Methods: We studied a group of 27 patients diagnosed with lipoma of the wrist, palm, and fingers.

Floating-dislocated elbow in adults: Case reports and literature review.

Rationale: Floating-dislocated elbow is a severe and extremely rare injury in adults. Reviewing the literature, we found around 6 case reports regarding floating-dislocated elbow in adults.

Patient Concerns And Diagnoses: We report 2 cases of this unusual injury association.

Treatment of Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures With an Interlocking Nail (C-Nail).

Objectives: To assess the outcome of the sinus tarsi approach and C-Nail fixation of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs).

Design: Prospective study.

Setting: University Trauma Department.
