Pronation external rotation (PER) fractures are unstable ankle fractures that require anatomically stable fixation. However, due to the long distance between the fibula and the posterior malleolus in PER IV, existing approaches may make it difficult for the fixation of the associated posterior joint and the lateral malleolus. We describe an S-type posterolateral approach for the open reduction and internal fixation of posterior malleolar fractures with an associated lateral malleolar fracture in PER IV.

Accessory fragment migration in a professional baseball player with bipartite patella: A case report.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, School of Medicine, International University of Health and Welfare, 4-3 Kōzunomori, Narita city, Chiba 286-8686, Japan; Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, International University of Health and Welfare Narita Hospital, 852, Hatakeda, Narita city, Chiba 286-8520, Japan.
Introduction: Bipartite patella (BP) is usually recognized as an incidental radiographic finding. Therefore, no reports have observed the process of accessory fragment migration. We present the case of a professional baseball pitcher with significant migration of the fragment during follow-up.

Purpose: Postoperative instability represents one of the most common complications following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). To prevent this outcome, valgus deformities have been historically treated using more constrained implants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of treating a moderate valgus deformity by combining a surgical technique used to release the postero-lateral soft tissue envelope with the use of a medially congruent (MC) TKA design without using classical, semi-constrained inserts.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to classify the injury mechanism of terrible triad (TT) and suggest a treatment method according to the mechanism.
Materials And Methods: Forty TTs with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) were enrolled. 3D CT scans of coronoid fractures were used for classifying into O'Driscoll type representing injury mechanisms and measuring sizes.

Background: Cervical sub-axial dumbbell neurofibromas (NFs) account for nearly 20% of all NFs, with prognosis depending on the extent of excision. When majority of tumor is extra-foraminal (Tomaya's Type IIb and c), certain unconventional anterolateral or posterolateral neck approaches are used for maximum safe excision. In our article, we provide a brief review of the literature regarding various surgical approaches, emphasizing the utility of posterolateral or combined anterior and posterior neck approaches for such giant NF.
