1/3. The posteromedial process fracture of the talus: a case report.Injuries to the ankle tend to be some of the most common injuries seen in practice. Of these ankle injuries, fractures of the posteromedial process of the talus are often misdiagnosed as ankle sprains because of poor visualization on routine ankle radiographs. The examining physician must have a heightened awareness of this injury to accurately diagnose and treat this fracture. Proper treatment could help to lessen the possibility of post-traumatic arthritis to the ankle and subtalar joints. The authors present a case of a fracture of the posteromedial process of the talus, after a medial subtalar dislocation, treated with open reduction and internal fixation with bioabsorbable pins.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = post-traumatic (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. Computerized axial tomography to demonstrate occult fractures of the acetabulum in children.Following hip trauma in children an intra-articular osteocartilaginous fragment may be retained within the hip joint. This fragment may not be visualized by plain films or arthrography. However, computerized tomography clearly demonstrated such fragments in the two children with post-traumatic painful hips reported in this paper.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = post-traumatic (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. Multiple post-traumatic calcific densities mimicking malignancy in a four-year-old male.A four-year-old boy presented with a soft tissue mass containing ringlet calcifications associated with fracture and irregular osteolysis of the underlying public ramus. Although the radiographic appearance suggested malignancy, the evolution of the lesion confirmed that it was post-traumatic.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = post-traumatic (Clic here for more details about this article) |
