Patellar Tendon Rupture During Postoperative Physiotherapy for Crouch Gait: A Case Report.

Introduction: A 14-year-old adolescent girl with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy underwent bilateral distal femur extension osteotomy and patellar tendon plication. Two and a half months after surgery, during physiotherapy, she sustained mid-substance tear of the left patellar tendon. The girl was successfully managed with patellar tendon repair and augmentation with tensor fascia lata autograft.

Challenges in Management of Proximal Humerus Diaphyseal Fracture in a Patient with Brachial Plexus Birth Injury: A Case Report.

Case: Two-and-a-half-month-old boy, a known case of brachial plexus birth injury, sustained proximal humeral diaphyseal fracture. Fracture healed in varus malunion and failed to remodel subsequently. Challenges were faced in the course of the management because of progression of the deformity.

Brachial Plexus Birth Injury due to Proximal Humeral Physeal Separation: A Case Report.

Case: A 9-day-old male neonate presented with swelling over his left shoulder and reduced movements of the left upper extremity since birth. Radiographs raised a suspicion of a shoulder dislocation. Ultrasonography confirmed the diagnosis of proximal humeral physeal separation.

Clinical Diagnosis of the Infantile Shoulder Subluxation in Residual Brachial Plexus Birth Injury and Its Correlation With Ultrasound Diagnosis.

Introduction And Aims Of Study: Timely detection of shoulder subluxation in infants with brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) is essential to prevent the progression of glenohumeral deformity. Shoulder ultrasonography (USG) is routinely used to detect an infantile subluxation/dislocation, but its use is limited because of the paucity of expert radiologists in developing countries. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical examination predictors to determine shoulder subluxation in patients with BPBI correlating with ultrasound confirmation.
