Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella01:16

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

9.2K
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

14.9K
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...

Flail Chest-I

1.0K
Overview of Flail Chest
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...

Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

5.0K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Fractures: Bone Repair01:27

Fractures: Bone Repair

6.6K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Pediatric Traumatology

Background:

  • Avulsion fractures of the iliac crest are rare, typically affecting adolescent athletes during high-impact sports.
  • These injuries often involve the anterior-superior iliac spine due to maximal tendon traction during athletic acceleration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a unique case of extensive iliac crest apophysis avulsion fracture in a competitive sprinter.
  • To describe the diagnostic process and surgical management of this uncommon injury.

Main Methods:

  • A 16-year-old male sprinter sustained an avulsion fracture of the iliac crest apophysis during a race.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed using X-ray and CT scan, revealing a Salter-Harris type 2 fracture.
  • The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation with two screws.

Main Results:

  • The surgical intervention successfully repaired the avulsion fracture of the iliac crest and anterior-superior iliac spine.
  • The athlete achieved a return to sport within 3 months post-surgery.
  • He subsequently set a personal best record in the 100-meter dash at 6 months postoperatively.

Conclusions:

  • Open reduction and internal fixation are effective for treating extensive iliac crest avulsion fractures in young athletes.
  • Prompt surgical management can facilitate a full return to high-level athletic performance.
