Galeazzi Fractures: Step-by-Step Treatment Algorithm for Optimal Outcomes
Galeazzi fractures, characterized by a fracture of the radial shaft with disruption of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ), are notoriously unstable injuries that demand precise surgical management. Without proper treatment, these fractures can result in chronic instability, pain, and functional impairment. This article provides a comprehensive treatment algorithm that ensures anatomic reduction, DRUJ stability, and […]
Distal Humeral Fractures: Intramedullary Nail vs Plate Fixation – Mechanics, Techniques, and Complications
Distal humeral fractures represent a unique challenge in orthopedic trauma surgery. While less common than fractures of the humeral shaft or proximal humerus, their complex anatomy, variable fracture patterns, and propensity for complications demand a tailored approach. The debate between intramedullary nailing (IMN) and plate fixation (ORIF) continues to evolve, with both methods offering distinct […]
Corona Mortis in Pelvic Fracture Surgery: Identification and Hemorrhage Management
The Corona Mortis, ominously nicknamed the “Crown of Death,” is a vascular anomaly that poses significant risks in pelvic fracture surgeries. Its presence demands both anatomical awareness and precise hemorrhage control strategies to prevent life-threatening complications. This article delves into the anatomical significance, injury mechanisms, and evidence-based management techniques for this vascular variant, ensuring surgeons […]
Comprehensive Guide to Medial Clavicle Fractures: Epidemiology, Mechanisms, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Medial clavicle fractures are rare but present unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Unlike the more common middle or distal clavicle fractures, these injuries often result from high-energy trauma and may be associated with other severe injuries. Understanding the epidemiology, mechanisms, and treatment options for medial clavicle fractures is essential for optimal patient outcomes. Epidemiology of Medial Clavicle Fractures Medial […]
