Scapular fractures are uncommon and are basically caused due to high-energy trauma [1]. Computed tomography with 3D reconstruction maybe helpful in diagnosed the involvement of the glenoid surface. Where a large number of cases are managed conservatively but fracture with significant displacement may require operative fixation to achieve functional stability [2]. This is a case report of 55years old male, presenting with displaced comminuted fracture involving the body of right scapula following an RTA (Road traffic accidents) trauma and having undergone open reduction internal fixation plating with excellent clinical outcomes with constant score of 100 following 1 year of regular follow-up.
Synovial Chondromatosis is a rare and it is a benign condition characterized by multiple cartilaginous nodules in synovial facet spaces. Synovial Chondromatosis affects most commonly the knee joint. This is a case report of a 30-year-old male patient presented with pain and swelling over the left knee joint. On evaluation MRI shows loose bodies, for which he underwent, arthroscopic exploration. Viscous fluid and loose bodies were identified and showed synovial hyperemia. Synovial debridement was done and loose bodies were removed and sent to histopathological examination. The result signify that arthroscopy is efficient method both in diagnostic as well as therapeutic management of synovial chondromatosis.
Capitellar fractures are intra-articular elbow injury & it is an uncommon type of elbow injuries that can cause and affect severe functional limitation if not treated correctly. Various treatment options have evolved over the years, from cast immobilization to closed reduction fixation and now finally open reduction fixation is used as a better treatment option. Open reduction internal fixation provides excellent fixation to the fracture site and helps in achieving a stable joint that help in early mobilization of the elbow joint after trauma. Which also prevents late complications such as myositis ossificans. This is a case report of capitellar fracture, a typical type -1 Hahn-Steinthal fracture of left elbow joint in a 14 year old adolescent male treated using Herbert’s screw fixation. Here after three months of post-op follow-up it shows good interfragmental compression, early mobilization, excellent recovery & Implant removal is rarely necessary.
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.
