Surgical management of bilateral concomitant posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder.

We present the case of a 71-year-old man who suffered a bilateral posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder after an idiopathic seizure. After immediate closed reduction, CT-scan images revealed bilateral anterior reverse Hill-Sachs lesion superior to 30 % of the articular humeral head. A surgical treatment was performed for reconstruction of segmental defects of the articular humeral heads followed by filling the defect using lesser tuberosity transposition.

Outcomes after primary ankle arthrodesis in recent fractures of the distal end of the tibia in the elderly: a systematic review.

Purposes: Management of distal tibia fractures in the elderly is complex. The results of conservative treatments may be disappointing and primary ankle arthrodesis is now regularly offered as an alternative. In this study, we aimed to review the outcomes of primary ankle arthrodesis for distal tibia fracture in the elderly.
