The syncope of the considered in the treatment of fractured condyles in a 2,3 long standing solider leads to a fall and impact at the growing patient. chin which results in a unilateral or bilateral condylar fractures as well as the symphysis fracture. (Fig. 1) The aims of treatment are to restore the occlusion and the function of the temporomandibluar joints. Condylar fractures are treated through surgical open reduction with internal rigid fixation or non-surgical functional therapy through closed reduction with intermaxillary fixation. With advances in osseous synthesis techniques and materials, and the emergence of titanium micro-screws and plates, open reduction and internal rigid fixation is getting more and more common and predictable with less disturbance to joint function. In closed reduction, the joint function is restored by allowing active mobilisation of the joint after a short period of intermaxillary fixation. The condyle is allowed to remodel. Elastic traction might be necessary to control any occlusal disharmony. There are advantages and disadvantages with both these techniques.

Fractures within the joint capsule (intracapsular) provide a specific surgical challenge due to the difficulty in predicting rates of bony union and whether the blood supply to the femoral head has been disrupted in a way that would lead to avascular necrosis. Most femoral neck fractures are treated surgically, aiming to maintain mobility, whilst reducing pain and complications associated with prolonged bedrest. Materials and Methods: We performed a narrative review of intracapsular hip fracture management, highlighting the latest advancements in fixation techniques, generating an evidence-based algorithm for their management. Results: Multiple different fracture configurations are encountered within the category of intracapsular Citation: Fletcher, J.W.A.; Sommer, hip fractures, with each pattern having different optimal surgical strategies.

  • An Atypical Femoral Neck Fracture: a Management Dilemma
    Grand Rounds Vol 10 pages 74–77 Specialities: Orthopaedic surgery; Trauma surgery Article Type: Case Report DOI: 10.1102/1470-5206.2010.0016 ß 2010 e-MED Ltd An atypical femoral neck fracture: a management dilemma Rahul Kakkar and Xue Yan Jiang North Tyneside General, North Shields, NE29 8NH, UK Corresponding address: Rahul Kakkar, MRCS, North Tyneside General, North Shields, NE29 8NH, UK. Email: [email protected] Date accepted for publication 20 August 2010 Abstract Femoral neck fractures are common in the elderly and are broadly grouped into either intracapsular or extracapsular fractures. We report an unusual femoral neck fracture that had features of both and discuss the management of such a case. Keywords Femoral neck fracture; intracapsular; extracapsular; sliding screw; hemiarthroplasty. Introduction Proximal femoral fractures are generally classified as extracapsular or intracapsular depending on which side of the capsular attachment the fracture lies. This distinction is important for the correct management of these fractures as prosthetic replacement is recommended in elderly patients for a displaced intracapsular fracture of the neck of the femur[1,2]; undisplaced intracapsular and extracapsular femoral neck fractures are usually fixed internally with a compression device. We report an unusual fracture of the neck of the femur that starts within the capsule in the subcapital region superiorly and laterally and ends extracapsularly inferiorly and medially involving the calcar. Case report A fit and well 71-year-old woman, who was independently mobile, was admitted following a mechanical fall while out shopping. She complained of left hip and groin pain and on examination was found to have a tender, shortened and externally rotated left lower limb.

Abstract: Fractures of the proximal humerus comprise 4–5% of all fractures of the appendicular skeleton with a high percentage seen in elderly females. The total incidence of these fractures has increased in recent years. Although a majority of these fractures can be successfully treated non-operatively, hemiarthroplasty has long been a primary surgical alternative. Despite the recent trend towards reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for proximal humerus fractures, hemiarthroplasty remains a viable and important option in treatment options to consider for patients. This is the treatment of choice for young, active patients with unreconstructable humeral head fractures. In this review, we summarize the indications, surgical techniques, outcomes and complications for hemiarthroplasty for proximal humerus fractures. Primary hemiarthroplasty for proximal humerus fractures has been shown to have mixed results, but it can provide good pain relief and function.
