Small Bowel Obstruction Secondary to Entrapment in a Minimally Displaced Acetabular Fracture: A Case Report.

Case: We present a unique case of bowel entrapment within a minimally displaced acetabular fracture. Our patient was injured after a fall from height. He was able to walk with minimal pain, and presented to hospital the following day for symptoms consistent with bowel obstruction.

Is suture comparable to wire for cerclage fixation? A biomechanical analysis.

Background: Cerclage wire is the current standard for circumferential bone fixation. Advances in technology have improved modern sutures, allowing for expanded utility and broader application. The present study compared the strength and durability of cerclage fixation between modern suture materials and monofilament wire.
