Fibular head avulsion fractures are rare and are so-called the arcuate signal. Avulsion fracture of the iliotibial band and anterolateral ligament is known as a Segond fracture, and it is another rare entity. We describe the case of a 27-year-old woman who was hit by a car and suffered polytrauma, mainly suffering injuries to both knees. Radiographs of the knees showed a Segond fracture associated with the arch...
Objective: To evaluate the functional outcome of patients who underwent surgical treatment using the modified Weaver-Dunn technique for the treatment of acute acromioclavicular dislocation. Method: Retrospective case series study (level of evidence IV) based on their view of medical records of 20 patients who participated in a 25-week postoperative follow-up, in which they were assessed using the UCLA score and...
Conclusão Comparativamente, as duas classificações apresentaram grau de concordância fraco a moderado. A classificação de Fraser tevemelhor concordância em ambos os grupos. A concordância foi maior quando se avaliou médicos ortopedistas especialistas em trauma ortopédico. Abstract Objective To evaluate the interobserver agreement of two classifications for floating knee: Fraser and Blake & McBryde. Method Thirt...
A osteoporose é uma doença altamente prevalente, acometendo cerca de 10 milhões de brasileiros, e traz consigo grandes repercussões sociais e econômicas. É uma doença multifatorial que acomete mais os idosos ( sobretudo mulheres pós-menopausa), tabagistas e usuários crônicos de corticóides. Os fatores predisponentes modificáveis podem ser evitados por meio de mudanças nos hábitos de vida, dentre os quais a inge...
The clavicle due to its superficial anatomical position presents a great risk to fractures. However, the segmental type of fracture is rare, being only one case reported in the Brazilian literature. This is due to the unique combination of forces, which occur mainly in high energy traumas. The objective of this study is to present two cases of patients assisted in a traumatologic referral service with a diagnos...
Background: The number of studies and clinical interest in the anterolateral ligament of the knee (ALL) has grown in recent years. A meticulous and accurate ALL dissection is vital in anatomic and biomechanical studies, and a standardized technique is not yet established. As such, the aim of this study was to describe a step-by-step ALL dissection technique that could help authors consistently identify the ALL....
Maisonneuve injury is a rare entity accounting for 7% of all ankle fractures. One of its variants includes a proximal tibiofibular dislocation, which is an even more unusual injury. The present article reports a case of a 34-year-old male patient admitted to the emergency room with edema in the lower left limb after a sports trauma. An X-ray of the knee revealed anterolateral subluxation of the proximal tibiofi...
Humeral shaft fractures combined with elbow dislocation and fracture of the distal third of the bones of the forearm are uncommon. No description of this simultaneous association has been found in the same patient. This report describes a case that occurred in a 13 year‐old boy who suffered a fall from a height of approximately three meters, and was admitted to a trauma hospital. Radiographs showed ipsilateral ...
