Nutcracker fracture of the cuboid is a rare injury usually caused by forced abduction of the forefoot on a fixed hindfoot. We report a case of this fracture in a 58-year-old man who was treated on the principle of ligamentotaxis and the position being held with Kirchner wires for a period of 5 weeks. He recovered without any complications and with good ankle and subtalar movements. At 5 months following the injury he had returned to his previous occupation. We think this novel way of treating this rare fracture is simple and gave a good result in this patient.

Background: To investigate the incidence and risk factors of coronal vertical vertebral body fracture (CV-VBF) during lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) for degenerative lumbar disease.
Methods: Clinical data, including age, sex, body mass index, and bone mineral density, were reviewed. Radiological assessments, such as facet joint arthrosis, intervertebral disc motion, index disc height, and cage profiles, were conducted.

Objective: We hypothesised that the orientation of the fracture line in the cervical vertebral arch depends on the traumatic mechanism, specifically focusing on frontal oblique spino-laminar fractures to determine if this pattern can serve as an indicator of a hyperextension mechanism of injury of the cervical spine.
Materials And Methods: We reviewed the imaging records of 114 adult patients admitted to the emergency department of the Strasbourg University Hospital for severe polytrauma between January 2016 and December 2021 and who presented with a fracture of the posterior vertebral arch of the lower cervical spine on the whole-body CT scan. A radiology resident (R1) and a musculoskeletal radiologist (R2) independently read the CT scans to determine the type of vertebral arch fracture; inter- and intra-observer agreements were calculated using Cohen's Kappa test.
Background: Nutcracker syndrome is a compression of the left renal vein between the superior mesenteric artery and aorta, resulting in thrombogenesis. While renal vein thrombosis caused by renal disease is more common, solitary left renal vein thrombosis with nutcracker syndrome is rare.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a patient with trauma-associated left renal vein thrombosis with nutcracker syndrome.

Introduction: The sub axial cervical spine is a common site for traumatic spine injury, the injury of which can be life-threatening and can also result in permanent disability. Subaxial cervical spine injury has been classified by Allen and Ferguson (earliest classification), subaxial cervical spine injury classification system (SLICS) and AO spine classification. Allen and Ferguson system has significant inter-observer variations and is difficult to apply clinically at times.

Clear recommendations about the optimal treatment of traumatic tarsal navicular fractures are still very debated in the literature, and this is due to several factors: navicular fractures are rare and often misdiagnosed injuries, they are frequently associated with other fractures or a dislocation of the midfoot, and the current knowledge is based on few papers mainly considering a limited number of cases and dealing with different therapeutic approaches. The treatment of navicular body fractures is controversial and burdened by a high incidence of complications; in particular, Sangeorzan type III comminuted fractures represent a real challenge for the orthopedic surgeon. An accurate preoperative planning, a scrupulous surgical technique aimed at restoring volume and bony anatomy, and the use of low-profile angular-stability plates can lead to optimal clinical and functional results, decreasing the chances of arthritic evolution of mid-foot joints.
