The mechanism for growth plate fusion is not fully understood yet. We present the first reported Seymour fracture (Salter Harris I) in an adult with failed growth plate fusion. The management of Seymour fractures should be according to radiological bone age rather than actual age.

Introduction: The optimal management of patients taking DOAC medications in the perioperative trauma setting is based on limited evidence. Current guidelines recommend withholding DOAC medications 48-72 hours pre-operatively. The objective of this trial was to determine the utility of measuring DOAC levels prior to surgery, evaluate the safety of a cut-off level of <50 ng/mL and to compare the outcomes with time parameters.

Background: Fat Embolism Syndrome (FES) is a rare clinical phenomenon attributed to fat droplet embolization and subsequent multisystem organ failure, typically following traumatic orthopedic injury. It classically presents with hypoxemia, transient neurologic deficits, and skin changes that appear a day or more after the initial insult. Its exact mechanism remains unclear, although the mechanical obstruction of capillaries or production of toxic intermediaries following fat hydrolysis and extravasation of marrow have been described.
