Background: Infections continue to pose a significant challenge in the management of open tibia fractures, and the role of antibiotics in irrigation fluid remains unclear. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the pre- and post-irrigation bacteria colony counts of open tibia fractures in two irrigation groups: Normal Saline Fluid (NSF) and Normal Saline with Gentamicin (NSG). Patients and Methods: Fifty patients with Gustillo-Anderson I and II open tibia fractures were randomly assigned to eit...

Background: Surgical management of patellofemoral instability involves various procedures, including tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO), aimed at improving patellar tracking and reducing stress on the patellar articular cartilage. This study focuses on the long-term outcomes and patient satisfaction following TTO, particularly the Trillat procedure, performed as a standalone surgical intervention for patellofemoral instability. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwe...

Coracoid process fractures are unusual injuries especially in children. They are frequently associated with additional injuries of shoulder girdle. We report a rare case of fracture of the base of coracoid process associated with a fracture of distal end of the clavicle in an immature skeleton. The diagnosis was confirmed by CT-scan. The fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation. Functional outcomes were good. .
The clinical signs of coracoid fracture are not specific and f...

Introduction: Distal radius fractures are among the most frequent musculoskeletal injuries, accounting for over 17% of fractures treated in emergency care centers. The primary objective is to promote healing and restore the pre-injury level of functionality. Treatment generally involves two phases: initial care and definitive surgery, where volar locking plates are used to stabilize fractures, presenting a low risk of complications. Personalized rehabilitation plans are crucial in this context. ...

The isolated fracture of the posterior margin of the tibia is a rare lesion. Painful swelling at the back of the internal malleolus area remains the main clinical sign. The common experience proves that the fractures of the posterior malleolus occupy a significant proportion of the fractures of the bones of the ankle, isolated fractures of the posterior malleolus, nowadays called fractures of the posterior margin of the tibia are relatively rare. An X-ray of the ankle is sufficient to confirm th...

Background/Purpose: Studies investigating the trends of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction rates have shown that since 2006, females aged 13 - 17 years of age have had the highest injury rates of any age or gender group in the country. This study investigated the lower chain biomechanics of landing before and after a six-session training intervention. This training ses-sion was conducted between the fall and spring se ...
