Abstract:
ACL injuries in children result in adultlike chronic instability problems. Physical tests and radiographs guide the diagnosis. Treatment depends on whether the ACL injury is an intrasubstance tear or, what is more common, an avulsion fracture of the tibial eminence. A case report of an 11-year-old boy describes a typical avulsion injury. Treatment of avulsion injuries consists of cast immobilization and open reduction and fixation for a displaced fragment.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

01:26Flail Chest-II
Managing flail chest, a condition characterized by a segment of the chest wall moving independently from the rest of the thoracic cage, requires a comprehensive approach. It includes a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, a diagnostic evaluation to determine the extent of the injury, and the implementation of appropriate medical interventions tailored to the individual's needs.
