1/100. Fracture of the sternum--an unusual case.Stress fracture of the sternum is a rare injury and can occur in young athletes due to repeated stress and in elderly with osteoporotic bones or other pathological conditions under normal stress. A case of a 14-year-old boy is reported who sustained fracture of the sternum without any history of significant trauma when he simply tried to lift his whole body over his arms and felt pain in front of the chest.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = injury, trauma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/100. Transverse stress fracture of the patella in a child.Transverse stress fracture of the patella in a child is an exceptional injury in childhood. Only one case has been previously reported. The present study reports a new case of a 12-year-old boy with anterior knee pain misdiagnosed for 5 months as Sinding-Larsen-Johansson disease who developed sudden anterior right knee pain and pop while running in a soccer match. Surgery was performed. The evolution was favorable without any immobilization required and the patient achieved full recovery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.9823772735317keywords = injury (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/100. Stress fracture of the proximal fibula in a young soccer player: a case report and a review of the literature.A 14-yr-old soccer player complained of a history of leg pain with activity that had been present for several weeks. There was no history of direct trauma. Tenderness was found over the lateral aspect of the leg, and radiographs showed an area of calcification along the shaft of the proximal fibula. Because of the unusual location of the findings and to exclude a tumor, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was obtained which confirmed the diagnosis of a proximal fibular stress fracture. The patient returned to full sport participation with a period of relative rest, splinting, and strengthening and flexibility training. This case describes an injury that has not been reported in young athletes and only rarely described in active adults. The literature regarding this injury is reviewed, and two injury patterns of proximal fibular stress fractures are described.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.9647545470634keywords = injury, trauma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/100. Stress fracture of the acetabular roof. Case report and value of MRI.The authors report the case of an 11-year-old boy with pain in the left leg without history of recent trauma. The diagnosis of a stress fracture of the acetabulum was made based on MRI and bone marrow biopsy. They discuss the role of MRI in the diagnosis of a stress fracture.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.017622726468299keywords = trauma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/100. Stress fracture of the cuboid in an 8-year-old boy: a characteristic magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis.A stress fracture of an 8-year-old boy diagnosed on magnetic resonance (MR) images is presented. Stress fractures of the cuboid are probably more common than previously reported. The diagnosis should be considered even when a history of trauma or chronic overload is absent. The MR appearance of the stress fracture was characteristic.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.017622726468299keywords = trauma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/100. Stress fracture of the hip and pubic rami after fusion to the sacrum in an adult with scoliosis: a case report.Correction of adult scoliosis frequently involves long segmental fusions, but controversy still exists whether these fusions should include the sacrum. It has been suggested that forces associated with activities of daily living transfer the stresses to the remaining levels of the spine and to the pelvis. The case described here was a 43-year-old woman with scoliosis and chronic back pain refractory to non-surgical modalities. Radiographically, the patient had a 110 degree lumbar curve. An anterior and posterior fusion with Luque-Galveston instrumentation was performed. Six months postoperatively the patient returned with a 2-week history of right hip pain with no history of trauma. There was radiographic evidence of a displaced femoral neck fracture and pubic rami fractures. The femoral neck fracture was treated with a total hip replacement. Further surgeries were required to correct a lumbar pseudoarthrosis and hardware failure. We believe that this case provides evidence that fusion into the lumbosacral junction may distribute forces through the pelvic bones and hip resulting in stress and potential hardware complications, especially in patients at risk due to osteopenic conditions.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.017622726468299keywords = trauma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/100. 'Cable-maker's clavicle': stress fracture of the medial clavicle.A 50-year-old man presented with a non-traumatic painful swelling over the medial clavicle. Radiographs showed a poorly defined fracture and the possibility of an underlying pathology was raised. Computed tomography suggested a stress fracture. This prompted a further, more detailed occupational history to be obtained from the patient, which revealed a hitherto undescribed cause of clavicular stress fracture and obviated the need for further imaging or biopsy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.017622726468299keywords = trauma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/100. Bilateral symmetric stress fractures in a toddler.Stress fractures are a common injury among adolescent athletes and military recruits. The increase in child participation in organized sport activities has contributed to the inclusion of the skeletally immature age group among those who may suffer from this problem. Bilateral simultaneous symmetric tibial stress fractures that are infrequent in older children are even more rare in toddlers. This entity may cause a diagnostic problem as it must be differentiated from infectious disease, acute trauma or even from the result of a battered child.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = injury, trauma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/100. Spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee associated with ipsilateral tibial plateau stress fracture: report of two patients and review of the literature.Two cases are presented of spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee (SONK) associated with stress fractures of the tibial plateau. This association lends further credence to the postulate that SONK has a traumatic etiology.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.017622726468299keywords = trauma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/100. Stress fracture of the femoral neck in a child. Case report and review of the literature.fatigue fractures generally appear in normal bone following increased repetitive activity or strenuous exercise, when imbalance occurs between applied force and elastic resistance. Femoral neck fatigue fractures are most common in athletes and young military recruits; such fractures in children with open physes are very rare. This paper reports a fatigue fracture of the femoral neck in an 8-year-old girl presenting with pain in the anterior aspect of the right thigh, of one month duration and without evidence of previous injury. bed rest and relief of weight bearing are indicated for nondisplaced compression fractures. Surgical treatment is indicated for tension fractures. In most cases, the outcome is favorable, and complications are rarely reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.9823772735317keywords = injury (Clic here for more details about this article) |
