Total hip arthroplasty is actually one of the most orthopaedic procedures realised to treat a lot of conditions in hip pathology. Complications associated with this operation are well established and reported in the medical literature. Only few cases of intraoperative dislocation of the trial femoral head had been reported; we present a case of intraoperative intrapelvic dislocation of the trial femoral head through the iliopsoas muscle during total hip replacement with a standard posterolateral approach of Moore.
Fractures of the middle third of the clavicle are frequent and their conservative treatment ends in bone union in nearly 95% of cases. Surgical treatment is unanimously indicated with open fractures or in cases of cutaneous damage, neurovascular complications, and impaction of the shoulder stump syndromes. We report herein a case of bilateral fractures of the clavicle that required double stabilization with an external fixator following major cutaneous damage appearing after the initial conservative management. The intraoperative discovery of Propionibacterium acnes infection and bone union obtained within the classical time frame, with a satisfactory functional result, all retrospectively proved the soundness of this indication.
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.
