Fractures: Bone Repair01:27

Fractures: 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...
Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula01:10

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...
Spongy Bone01:09

Spongy Bone

All bones comprise an outer layer of compact bone, and an interior made up of spongy bone tissue, also called cancellous or trabecular bone. In long bones, spongy bone tissue is mainly found in the interior of the epiphyses (broad ends of the bone).
Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...
Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
Stress-Strain Diagram - Brittle Materials01:24

Stress-Strain Diagram - Brittle Materials

Brittle materials, including glass, cast iron, and stone, exhibit unique characteristics. They fracture without considerable change in their elongation rate, indicating that their breaking and ultimate strength are equivalent. Such materials also show lower strain levels at the point of rupture. The failure in brittle materials predominantly results from normal stresses, as evidenced by the rupture created along a surface perpendicular to the applied load. These materials do not display...

Summary

Novice surfers may sustain Seymour-like juxtaepiphyseal fractures. A novel K-wire technique effectively reduced and fixed these specific fractures in four reported cases.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Sports medicine
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Seymour-like juxtaepiphyseal fractures are uncommon injuries.
  • Surf accidents present a unique mechanism for these fractures, particularly in novice athletes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report four cases of Seymour-like juxtaepiphyseal fractures in novice surfers.
  • To describe a novel surgical technique for reduction and fixation of these injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Case series involving four novice surfers with identical juxtaepiphyseal fractures.
  • Utilized a 1.2 K-wire as a 'joystick' for fracture reduction.
  • The same K-wire was employed for internal fixation.

Main Results:

  • All four patients sustained similar fractures due to surf accidents.
  • Successful fracture reduction and fixation were achieved in all cases using the described K-wire technique.
  • The K-wire was ultimately secured in place for definitive fixation.

    • Conclusions:

    • The 'in-and-out' K-wire technique is an effective method for managing Seymour-like juxtaepiphyseal fractures in surfers.
    • This approach offers a straightforward solution for a specific fracture pattern encountered in a recreational activity.
