A Big HIIT: A Fracture Dislocation of the Hip in a Young Man Participating in Extreme Conditioning Exercise: A Case
1The National Centre for Pelvic and Acetabular Trauma, Tallaght University Hospital, Dublin, Ireland.
Case:
Hip dislocations with associated acetabular fracture are rare events usually associated with high-energy trauma. We describe an unusual case of low-energy acetabular fracture dislocation sustained by a 30-year-old athletic male athlete during a high-intensity training program.
Conclusion:
Correct execution of training programs is important. Healthcare professionals as well as participants and instructors of extreme conditioning programs should be aware of this serious complication. Avoidance of this injury may be possible with increased interval recovery and improved technique.

01:27Fractures: 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...

01:24Flail 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...
