Luxatio erecta humeri (LEH) is a rare type of shoulder dislocation in which the humeral head becomes trapped beneath the glenoid. Patients present with the arm in a fixed hyperabducted position. LEH is estimated to occur in 0.5% of all shoulder dislocations, most often caused by trauma and has a significant association with local bone, ligament and less frequently neurovascular injury. We present a case with initial neurovascular compromise and sustained neurological impairment at long-term follow-up. Urgent closed reduction is advocated and subsequent treatment is dependent on associated injuries.

Closed Reduction and Intrafocal Pinning for Complex Dorsal Fracture Dislocation of the Distal Interphalangeal Joint: A Case Report and Novel Technique.

Case: Dorsal dislocations of the distal interphalangeal joint with associated volar base fractures of the distal phalanx are complex injuries that pose challenges for achieving stable reduction and restoring optimal joint function. This case report describes the successful management of a 40-year-old male cardiologist who sustained such an injury after a cricket ball trauma. The treatment involved a combined approach of closed reduction, dorsal extension block pinning, and intrafocal pinning of the volar base fracture.

Atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) is a serious condition in which the first two cervical vertebrae lose their anatomical position and stability. This may lead to neurological complications, including death. The treatment of AAD remains controversial, and posterior instrumentation with pedicle screw placement is one of the commonly used methods.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the e!ect of arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) alone and ABR with an additional remplissage procedure on joint range of motion and functional results in patients with anterior shoulder instability.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients treated 1 year ago with either ABR alone or the ABR additional remplissage procedure. The Bankart lesion was determined by magnetic resonance imaging, and the amount of glenoid bone loss was determined by computed tomography.

Introduction: Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dislocations, particularly pure SIJ dislocations without associated fractures, represent a rare and complex subset of pelvic ring injuries. Given the intricate pelvic anatomy and the need to achieve both stability and functional recovery, the optimal surgical management for these injuries remains a topic of debate. This systematic review aims to evaluate the various surgical techniques employed in treating this rare and challenging injury and assess associated clinical outcomes and complications.

Reverse Hill-Sachs lesions (RHSL) are common complications associated with posterior shoulder dislocations and represent a significant challenge for preserving joint stability and function. If untreated, these compression fractures of the anteromedial humeral head can compromise the integrity of the joint, predisposing patients to recurrent instability and arthropathy. While various treatment modalities exist, achieving an anatomic reduction of the defect while preserving the articular cartilage remains a desirable outcome, particularly in acute settings.
