INTRODUCTION: There is paucity of literature regarding the outcomes of ACL reconstruction in ACL deficient knees with concomitant Type A and Type B PLC injuries.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 102 patients undergoing isolated ACL reconstruction for an ACL injury were evaluated prospectively in this study. The patients with divided into three groups: group A with isolated ACL injury, group B1 with concomitant Type A PLC injury and group B2 with concomitant Type B PLC injury. The ...

BACKGROUND: Bilateral traumatic femoral neck fractures are uncommon in children. The most commonly reported complications are nonunion, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, and chondrolysis. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) associated with nonunion after percutaneous partially threaded cancellous screw (PTCS) fixation of the fracture is an unreported complication.

CASE DESCRIPTION: We describe a 10-year-old boy who had bilateral femoral neck fractures secondary to a fall from ...

ObjectivesNonspecific clinical presentations often lead to misdiagnosis of focal cysticercal myositis. This report emphasizes the role of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of solitary intramuscular cysticercosis.Materials and methodsSix patients with persistent post-traumatic isolated muscular swelling were treated with analgesic and antibiotics, but the swelling did not subside. Radiographs showed soft tissue swelling with no bony abnormalities. ...

Dislocation of the elbow along with shaft fractures of both bones of the ipsilateral forearm is a rare injury though elbow dislocation or fracture of the forearm bones may occur separately. Such injuries need a concentric reduction of the dislocation and an anatomical fixation of forearm bones for optimal functional outcomes. We report a case of elbow dislocation with fracture of the lateral condyle of the humerus along with fractures of shafts of the radius and ulna in a 44-year-old ...
