Case: A thirteen-year-old female gymnast experienced bilateral knee pain after landing from a jump off a vault during a competition. Initial radiographs revealed negative findings, but magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated periphyseal osseous edema of the proximal parts of the tibiae. The patient later developed an anterior physeal bar on the right side, with recurvatum deformity.
Conclusion: Despite similar initial imaging findings bilaterally and identical mechanisms of injury, only the injury on the right side met the strict criteria for classification as a Salter-Harris type-V injury. This case illustrates the difficulty encountered with current diagnostic criteria for type-V injuries.

BACKGROUND Anterior hip dislocation is a rare injury that often occurs following high-energy road traffic accidents and accounts for approximately 7% to 13% of all hip dislocations. This report describes the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of a 44-year-old woman with anterior hip dislocation and multiple comminuted fractures due to a vehicular crush injury. A PubMed search showed no similar cases have been reported in the English literature.

Background: Intracavernous (IC) injections of stem cells has been shown to ameliorate cavernous nerve (CN)-induced erectile dysfunction (ED). However, the regenerative effects underlying the recovery of erectile function (EF) in human amniotic fluid-derived stem cells (hAFSCs) remain unclear. In the bilateral cavernous nerve crushing (BCNC) injury rat paradigm, we sought to ascertain the effects of hAFSC treatment on EF recovery during the incipient phase.
