Complete Proximal Long Head Biceps Tendon Rupture in an Elite 17-year-Old Softball Pitcher: A Case Report.

Case: This case report describes the successful treatment of a year-round teenage softball pitcher who sustained a proximal biceps tendon rupture who underwent successful subpectoral tenodesis. To our knowledge, this is the only reported case of such an injury occurring in an underhand throwing teenage athlete.

Conclusion: This case highlights an unusual instance of a sport-related injury in an adolescent softball pitcher, suggesting that the softball pitch in elite athletes may put similar stress on the shoulder to overhead throwing athletes over time and further demonstrating that patients may continue to have success at elite levels of competition after tenodesis.

Traumatic Scapula Fracture with Intrathoracic Interposition: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Introduction: Scapula fractures are infrequently operated on due to the high union rate and well-preserved motion despite a large degree of angular deformity. Scapula fractures with intrathoracic interposition are rare and typically require open reduction due to an increased risk of pleural injury from the interposed segment. While there are several reports of intrathoracic interposition of scapular fractures requiring open reduction, only one case involved subsequent fragment fixation in an adult.

Bilateral Intertrochanteric Femur Fractures in a Paraplegic Patient: A Case Report.

Bilateral intertrochanteric (IT) femur fractures are rare, and appropriate evaluation and treatment can vary depending on concurrent patient comorbidities. Even less has been described for patients with bilateral IT fractures with pre-existing paraplegia. This case report describes the unique case of a 72-year-old paraplegic female who presented with bilateral IT femur fractures due to a wheelchair accident.

Multiligament Knee Reconstruction of the ACL, PLC, and ALL in a Floating Knee: A Case Report.

Introduction: Ipsilateral fracture of the femur and tibia, known by the moniker "floating knee," is a serious injury that primarily results from high-energy trauma. Up to 53% of patients with floating knee injuries have concurrent ligamentous injuries, with the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) as the most commonly affected ligament. Approximately 10% of multi-ligament knee injuries consist of injuries to both the ACL and posterolateral corner (PLC); however, the literature reporting the management of this patient population is sparse, particularly, with a lack of consensus on the timing and protocol of surgical treatment.
