Infected Tibial Plateau Open Reduction Internal Fixation Treated Using External Fixation and a Gastrocnemius Flap: A Case Report.

Here, we describe the case of an 80-year-old female patient with type II insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with a left proximal tibia fracture. Open reduction internal fixation was performed using a locking plate. After the surgical site infection, the plate was removed and negative-pressure wound therapy was applied.

Irreducible Knee Dislocation With Vastus Medialis Muscle Interposition: A Case Report.

This condition often requires open reduction. To our knowledge, irreducible KD is not widely reported in the literature.
