Management of Combined Open Fractures of Thumb Metacarpal and Trapezium (Surgical Tip)

Management of an unusual injury of combined open fractures of the first metacarpal shaft and trapezium due to crush injury in a 21-year-old man was reported in this paper. Surgical management included irrigation, debridement, and reduction of the first metacarpal fracture followed by external fixation extending from the first metacarpal to the distal radius and primary wound closure. After 1 year of surgery, follow-up functional and radiographic evaluations were satisfactory, and most of the daily activities were pain-free

Klippel-Feil Syndrome and Dextrocardia: A Case Report

Klippel-Feil syndrome is a congenital malformation that exists because of a failure of the normal segmentation of cervical somites during the third and eighth weeks of gestation. The classical triad includes short neck, low hair line, restriction in neck motion, and fusion of at least two cervical segments. Patients with Klippel-Feil syndrome usually present with the disease during childhood but may present later in life. In this case report, we present a 17-year-old female patient with cervical vertebra anomalies, scoliosis, Sprengel's deformity, dextrocardia, and costa anomalies (13 costa on the right side and 11 costa on the left side).

Avulsion Fracture of the Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine Mimicking a Bone Tumor: A Case Report

This is a case of a 17-year-old boy who was admitted to the clinic suffering from right hip-inguinal region pain which began after a soccer match. He had an avulsion fracture in the anterior inferior iliac spine and CT/MR images showed similarities to a bone tumor. These fractures are especially seen in the apophyses which are within the ossification process. The radiological appearance of these fractures during the healing period may be involved with bone tumors. In the control MRI of the patient after one year, the fracture was almost healed completely. Treatment is generally conservative. Good results have been reported with rest, analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Familiarity with radiological findings of these avulsion fractures in this region not only protects the patient from invasive procedures but also avoids the involvement of the practitioner in legal consequences resulting from a misdiagnosis of sarcoma
