Femoral fractures in amputation stump are challenging injuries to manage. The authors describe a case of a 51-year-old patient with a right above knee amputation, who had a right hip femoral neck fracture. In this technical note, we describe a technical and surgical procedure with intraoperative tips and tricks, in which we use commonly available materials, for the safe management in such clinical situations.
We report a case on a rare ankle injury which occurred after an opened trauma of the left ankle, associating a lateral subtalar dislocation with a ruptured tibialis posterior tendon. We treated him surgically with a good evolution clinic and radiological. Figure 1 a: Clinical aspect of a subtalar dislocation.
The menace of cocaine addiction is real and mainly affects young people, the peripheral arterial thrombosis induced by cocaine are rare but they are described in the literature, but never cases of spontaneous amputation. We will describe in this manuscript a rare case of spontaneous amputation of the forearm in 38 years old man, known as a drug addict with notions of cocaine use. He consulted at the emergency for spontaneous loss of his forearm with absolute calm. This takes us to publish this case to discuss the consequences of cocaine use on the health both the vital prognosis than on functional prognosis and its impact on public health.
Le traitement des fractures de la glène scapulaire constitue un sujet de débat dans la littérature. Les auteurs décrivent une observation d'un patient âgé de 22 ans qui présente une fracture articulaire de la glène classée stade III de Ideberg traitée chirurgicalement sous arthroscopie. Nous exposons une nouvelle technique chirurgicale utilisant un matériel simple et nous la recommandons pour ce type de fracture qui constitue une alternative efficace. Globalement, nos résultats cliniques et anatomiques immédiats et à moyen terme, au dernier recul, sont excellents.
