Comparative Study for Surgical Treatment of Acute Distal Tibiofibular Syndesmotic Lesions Using the Modified Suture-Button Fixation Versus Static Syndesmotic Screw Fixation.

Introduction: Several techniques to treat acute distal tibiofibular instability are described consisting in static and dynamic fixation procedures. The aim of our work is to compare the outcomes of acute syndesmotic injury fixation between the modified technique of dynamic fixation using the suture-button principle as an efficient and low-cost method and the classic static fixation.

Methods: It is a prospective study including patients presenting with acute syndesmotic injury.

An unusual cause of febrile knee pain in children: Septic arthritis of the proximal tibiofibular joint (a case report).

Introduction And Importance: Septic arthritis (SA), an infection affecting joints, is primarily attributed to bacteria, viruses, or fungi, with the hip, knee, and ankle being common sites of involvement. However, SA of the proximal tibiofibular joint is exceptionally rare. We report a highly uncommon case of lateral knee pain with fever in an 11-year-old boy caused by SA of the proximal tibiofibular joint.

Surgical management of tibia refracture with a bent intramedullary nail: A case report and review of the literature.

Intramedullary nailing is the gold standard for long bone fractures in the lower limbs. Fractures of the tibia with bending of the intramedullary nail is a very uncommon complication. Removing a bent nail is an unpredictable and challenging procedure for any trauma surgeon.

Risk factors for malunion of distal tibia fractures treated by intramedullary nailing.

Background: The treatment of distal tibia fractures (DTF) has historically been a difficult challenge for orthopedic surgeons because of the particular characteristics of this anatomical region. Intra medullary nailing (IMN) remains the best treatment option. However, achieving and maintaining perfect reduction and stable fixation with IMN can be technically challenging due to the large medullary cavity within a short distal fragment.

Extraspinal osteoarticular tuberculosis: A diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, representing a challenge for health-care providers worldwide. Extraspinal osteoarticular tuberculosis (ESOTB) represents a rare location of TB. We aim to describe ESOTB focusing on clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic characteristics of this entity.

Sternoclavicular septic arthritis in a healthy adult: A case report and a review of the literature.

Sternoclavicular joint septic arthritis is rare and commonly associated with specific risk factors. We report the case of a 58-year-old female with no previous medical or surgical history who presented complaining of a warm, indurated mass overlying the right sternoclavicular joint. Computed tomography of the chest showed erosion of the sternal end of the clavicle and the manubrium sternum associated with thickening of the synovium and a sternoclavicular joint space narrowing, suggestive of an infective process.

An unusually aggressive multiple non-ossifying fibroma of the distal tibia and fibula: A case report.

Background And Purpose: Non-ossifying fibroma (NOF) is one of the most commonly seen benign bone tumours. Although renowned for their benign behaviour and tendency for spontaneous healing, these tumours can occasionally exhibit an aggressive course. Few published papers have focused on the treatment options of symptomatic NOFs.

Surgical management of neck of femur fractures in patients younger than sixty-five years: a comparative study of three fixation methods.

Purpose: Several surgical implants have been used for the treatment of neck of femur fracture (NOF) in younger patients such as dynamic hip screw (DHS) and cannulated compression screw. However, the superiority of one or another osteosynthesis device remains a matter of debate. The aim of this work is to evaluate and compare three fixation modalities: Cannulated Hip Screws (CHS), DHS and DHS associated to anti-rotating screw for surgical treatment of femoral neck fracture in young adults.

An unpredictable complication of femoral reaming: When the reamer gets stuck.

Intramedullary nailing has become the gold standard in surgical treatment for long bones shaft fractures. Many intraoperative complications may occur. We report an unusual complication of trapped bone fragments between the reamer and the cortex during intramedullary nailing of a simple femur shaft fracture.

Frontal cutaneous leiomyosarcoma: A case report and review of the literature.

Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal tumours that can affect the skin. They are dominated by Kaposi's sarcoma and dermatofibrosarcoma. Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma is a very rare entity.

Unusual case of lateral subtalar joint dislocation associated with calcaneal fracture and lateral malleolus fracture.

Introduction: Subtalar dislocation is defined by a simultaneous total separation of the talocalcaneal and talonavicular joints. Lateral variety is the rarest. It is the result of a high energy trauma.

An extensor tenosynovitis complicated with extensor tendon rupture revealing a hand tuberculosis.

Tuberculous hand tenosynovitis is a rare localization of tuberculosis. It is dominated by flexor tendon involvement; tenosynovitis of the extensor tendons is exceptional. The diagnosis is usually delayed and sometimes overlooked because of the paucity and the chronicity of the symptoms and signs with the patients often seen at the stage of tendon rupture.

Comparison of the results of the synthesis of Schatzker II and III tibial plateau fractures by screwing versus plate.

Purpose: Lateral tibial plateau fractures with depression are the most common. Their treatment is currently surgical. Many therapeutic procedures have been described.

Comparative study of Iselin's technique for the treatment of Bennett's fracture with large and small fragments.

Objective: The thumb is very exposed to trauma due to its position and function. Fractures of the base of the first metacarpal bone are very frequent in hand traumatology. Most Bennett's fractures are treated surgically.
