Introduction: Better understanding of disruption of bony and ligamentous constraints of the radiocapitellar joint in complex capitellum fracture is essential for optimizing the surgical care and outcome. This report highlights the need for modification in surgical fixation technique to address an unusual variant of this rare injury.
Case Report: We report a three-part capitellum fracture pattern with a Y-shaped split of distal humerus with a sheared anterior fragment and a single, large, non-articular posterolateral fragment in a young male patient.
Background: Femoral neck stress fractures are rarely encountered among young adults and are often associated with either repetitive excessive loading or underlying bone pathology. Preliminary research has indicated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/antiretroviral therapy (ART) as predisposing agents to osteopenia and osteoporosis related complications. We report a case of HIV/ART induced insufficiency fracture in a resource limited setting in Central India.
