Dorsal perilunate wrist dislocations are rare. Associated carpal bones or radial styloid process fractures can occur and be included in the current classifications. The authors report an unusual association of dorsal perilunate wrist dislocation with a multifragmentary distal radius fracture. Such traumatic entity has never been previously described. Poor functional outcome may justify the inclusion of associated complex forearm bone fractures in wrist dislocation classifications.

Multiple fractures of the femur: Case report, literature review, and proposal for a shared algorithm of treatment.
SAGE Open Med Case Rep
September 2024
Department of Anatomical, Histological, Forensic Medicine and Orthopedics Sciences, "Sapienza" University of Rome, Rome, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Multiple fractures of the femur, defined as three or more non-contiguous fractures on the same bone segment, are rare and not well-documented in existing literature, with few studies addressing the topic.
- The study presents the case of a 36-year-old man who suffered multiple severe femur fractures following a high-energy vehicular accident and underwent successful surgical treatment.
- The paper aims to share the authors' treatment experience and outcomes while proposing a treatment algorithm, as well as to review existing literature on complex femur fractures.
Non-unions and wound infections do not differ following intramedullary nailing and plate osteosynthesis for distal third femur fractures: a meta-analysis.
EFORT Open Rev
March 2024
Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Freiburg University Hospital, Freiburg, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to review the fixation methods for distal, extra-articular femur fractures to assess rates of non-union, wound infections, blood loss, and surgery duration, comparing reamed intramedullary nailing (RIMN) with plate fixation.
- Research was conducted systematically following PRISMA guidelines, reviewing 9 studies that included 639 patients with a focus on significant outcomes like infection rates and non-union.
- Results showed no statistically significant differences in wound infections or non-union rates between RIMN and plate fixation, suggesting that the choice of treatment should be individualized based on patient circumstances.
Artificial Deformity Creation as a Method for Limb Salvage for Patients with Massive Tibial and Soft Tissue Defects: A Report of 26 Cases.
Strategies Trauma Limb Reconstr
January 2023
Department of General Surgery, Riga Stradins University, Riga, Latvia.
Unlabelled: Soft tissue and bone defects that occur consequence of high-energy trauma are serious and challenging problems. The aim of this retrospective cohort study is to show that the artificial deformity creation (ADCr) method allows the closure of soft-tissue defects, avoids amputation, and can facilitate the reconstruction of bone defects and restore limb length.
Patients And Methods: Twenty-six adult patients (age range 20-81 years) with soft tissue defects of the lower limb were treated at the Riga East University Hospital from 2018 to 2021.
Intraoperative femoral fracture is a rare but growing complication of primary total hip arthroplasty. We aimed to present an uncommon related case, assessing also the role of malnutrition and osteoporosis. We discuss the case of a 49 years old male patient, malnourished and osteoporotic, with an intertrochanteric, multifragmentary, inveterate fracture, that happened three months before.

Background: There has been no scientific mechanical assessment demonstrating the optimal fixation technique in multifragmentary fractures of the distal humeral shaft. The purpose of the present study was to compare the biomechanical performance of 5 fixation constructs as used in minimally invasive plating osteosynthesis (MIPO) for distal humeral shaft fractures.
Methods: Three-dimensional (3D) humerus model with 20 mm distal humeral shaft fracture gap simulating multifragmentary fracture was created from computed tomography data and virtually fixed by 5 fixation techniques as MIPO, i.
