Background: Distal humerus fractures had acquired an attention due to poor outcomes regardless of treatment modality which may be conservative or surgical. These fractures can be addressed with either triceps splitting or triceps sparing approach. The triceps sparing approach was performed by lateral window was developed on the lateral side of the triceps as it is elevated off the posterior border of the intermuscular septa and posterior humerus.
Objective:The current work aimed to evaluate the outcome of surgical treatment of fracture distal humerus through triceps sparing approach.
Background: Subtalar dislocation means dislocation of the distal articulations of the talus at the talocalcaneal and talonavicular joints. Closed reduction and immobilization remains the treatment of choice. If closed reduction is failed, open reduction is required. A variety of bone and soft tissue structures may become entrapped, resulting in obstruction of closed reduction.
Methods : We retrospectively studied 6 cases of lateral subtalar dislocation. All patients were males. The average Age was 40 years old. Functional assessment was done with (AOFAS) score.
Results: All patients had underwent open reduction. Fixation with 2 (1.8) K-wires.
The (AOFAS) was improved from 55 to 100 scores.
Conclusion : Urgent closed or open reduction of subtalar dislocation is very important this will improve ankle and foot function
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
