– Discussion: – anterior SI ligaments are stretched; – radiographs show slight (< 2 cm) widening of the pubic symphysis and often imperceptable widening of the SI joint; – results from low energy forces Surgeon Variability in the Treatment of Pelvic Ring Injuries Stress radiograph to detect true extent of … Read more
– A: Extra-articular (Transverse) – B: Unicondylar fracture – subdivided into lateral condyle sagittal, and medial condyle saggital and coronal; – deforming forces: gastrocnemius – of special importance is B III (Coronal or Hoffa fracture), where only soft tissue attachment is the posterior capsule, that behaves … Read more
– Discussion: – usually involves a supination-adduction injury; – frequently does well w/ closed reduction; – if frx in fibula is transverse, it is type I avulsion fibular frx; – since syndesmotic ligaments are intact, ankle mortise is also stable; – type A: fibula fracture … Read more
– Discussion: – is taken in line with the long axis of the foot; – entire fibula should be included if there is lateral joint tenderness above the joint line; – this view is used to evaluate medial & lateral malleolus anterolateral tibia and proximal fibula; – osteochondral frx of distal tibia and talus; … Read more
– See: – Radiographic Evaluation – Blood Supply to Talus- Discussion: – may occur following talar neck fractures or may be atraumatic (from SLE, diabetes, MS ect); – absence of subchondral bone atrophy in talar dome on x-ray after 6 weeks following fracture implies AVN (see Hawkins Sign); – however, there is not direct correlation between development of AVN and … Read more
– Discussion: – fibular plate can be positioned posteriorly as an antiglide plate to resist proximal migration and rotation of distal fragement; – the antiglide plate is chiefly indicated for Weber B fractures; – advantages: – distal screws obtain better purchase, since … Read more

A randomized trial comparing fluconazole with amphotericin B for the treatment of candidemia in patients without neutropenia. Candidemia Study Group and the National Institute.
– See: – Antibiotic Menu – Osteomyelitis – Perioperative Prophylactic Antibiotics: – the main question we need to ask is what are we trying to accomplish? – obviously we want a strategy that prevents the infection of MRSA, MSSA, staph epi, and anaerobic infections; – giving ancef alone, … Read more
