A closed spontaneous rupture of the extensor hallucis longus (EHL) tendon is an infrequent yet challenging clinical occurrence, typically associated with systemic conditions (diabetes mellitus or rheumatoid arthritis).

This article presents a unique case of a traumatic EHL tendon rupture in a patient without underlying predisposing factors.

- Isolated trapezio-metacarpal joint dislocation is uncommon, and there is no agreed-upon treatment approach for its reduction and immobilization.
- The case discussed involved a rare instance of this dislocation without fractures, treated successfully with closed reduction and intermetacarpal fixation.
- The treatment plan included six weeks of immobilization followed by an early rehabilitation protocol to aid recovery.
Traumatic osteochondral fractures of metatarsal heads are rare injuries and are scarcely reported in the literature. Their classification and modalities of treatment remain unclear. Herein, we report two cases of traumatic fractures of the articular surfaces of the metatarsal heads in two young patients in which two different modalities of surgical treatment were used to achieve anatomic reduction and congruity of the metatarsophalangeal joints.

This old technique is regaining popularity recently with the multiple advances added by different institutes when it is used in the management of intraarticular calcaneus fracture.
Methods: Twenty-four patients who suffered from intraarticular calcaneus fractures between 2014 and 2019 were included.
