Isolated Extensor Hallucis Longus Compartment Syndrome: A Case Report.

We present the case of an isolated extensor hallucis longus compartment syndrome following a diaphyseal fibular fracture. Our subject underwent syndesmotic fixation and experienced ongoing pain post-procedure. This was associated with an isolated loss of power in extension of the hallux.

Compliance of an elderly hip fracture population with secondary preventative measures. Efficacy of a simple clinical practice intervention.

Secondary pharmaceutical measures are effective in all age groups for the prevention of osteoporotic fractures. This prospective study determines the demographics of 566 consecutive osteoporotic hip fractures presenting to a Level 1 Trauma Center. We examine the efficacy of simple treatment recommendations for pharmaceutical treatment of osteoporosis and the factors determining general practitioner and patient compliance with these recommendations in a community setting.

Slipped upper femoral epiphysis. A retrospective, clinical and radiological study of fixation with a single screw.

We conducted a retrospective, clinical and radiological study of fixation with a single screw in slipped upper femoral epiphysis. Forty children (53 hips) who had a slipped upper femoral epiphysis were managed by in-situ pinning with a single cannulated screw. The average age of these patients was 12.
