[A Rare Fracture-dislocation of Talus.]
Abstract:
In the introduction the authors analyze the issues of the fractures of talus which is a key connection between the foot and the lower limb. For the prognosis of the healing of fractures of the talus they consider the most important its retrograde vascularization. Further they decribe types of fractures of the talus according to Hawkins. In their view a certain role is played also by the mechanism of the injury. The core of the work is a case report of a 34-year old mountaineer who sustained a very rare fracturedislocation of the talus which was treated by open reduction and fixation by means of K-wires. During the 18-month follow-up they recorded a full bone consolidation of the fracture without any symptoms of the feared avascular necrosis. In the conclusion they compare the data in literature with their own results. Key words: fractures of talus, typology of fractures after Hawkins, surgical treatment.

Fractures: Bone Repair
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...

Flail Chest-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...
