Backgroud: Staged operations are commonly employed in the management of high-energy tibial plateau fractures (TPF) complicated by acute compartment syndrome (ACS); however, complications, such as nonunion, deep wound infection, and traumatic arthritis, often occur due to severe bone and soft-tissue damage. We aimed to report the radiological and clinical outcomes of staged surgical interventions performed following complete closure of the fasciotomy wound for the treatment of TPF complicated by ACS. Additionally, we analyzed factors associated with complications arising from these procedures.

Patient Concerns: We report the case of a 57-year-old man who underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty 2 months ago caused by a left femoral neck fracture. Postoperatively, bipolar dislocation occurred thrice, and the patient showed bipolar cup dissociation during closed reduction maneuver at the recent visit.
Study Design: Retrospective radiological analysis.
Objectives: Translaminar screw (TLS) placement is one of the fixation techniques in the subaxial cervical spine. However, it can be difficult to use in small diameter of the lamina.
