The rate of infection is extremely low after a prophylactic contralateral fixation in slipped upper femoral epiphysis, and exclusively involves superficial wound infection. We report an unusual case of hip infection after a prophylactic pinning with a single cannulated screw. The evolution was unfavorable, with necrosis and epiphysiolysis of the femoral head. A total hip arthroplasty was performed after 1 year of evolution.
50 patients with epicondylus ulnaris fractures are analysed. 4 types of fracture are recognised. The results of therapy are often described in literature much more optimistically than in reality. The first critical examination and the selection of therapy, mostly a surgical intervention, had a great influence on mobility of the elbow joint, on strength and subjective perception. The results could only be assessed after three years. Complications of concomitant injuries - nerve lesion and ligament/capsule structures - were discussed with regard to surgical approach.
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.
