Refracture of adolescent femoral shaft fractures: a complication of external fixation. A report of two cases.

Malunion is often a problem in adolescent femoral shaft fractures treated with traction and subsequent casting. We used external fixation as an alternative treatment method to control alignment and allow early mobilization. After fracture healing and fixator removal, two patients experienced refracture. This unusual complication is the basis of our report. Prolonged rigid or static fixation appears to be detrimental to sufficient callus formation and healing.

An analysis of 100 symptomatic baseball players.

The management of baseball elbow injuries, both operative and nonoperative, was usually successful, permitting continued high-level athletic participation. Surgery was particularly effective in those cases with loose bodies. In the shoulder, symptoms occurred in the anterior and posterior regions. Each area presented difficulties in accurate diagnosis. The management of anterior symptoms was primarily nonoperative, surgery being reserved as a salvage procedure. In the posterior capsular syndrome, the source of pain is still unclear.

Cervical spondylolisthesis associated with the multiple nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.

Cervical spondylolisthesis is a rate vertebral anomaly that has not been associated with other major congenital abnormalities. In a 16-year-old girl, lower cervical spondylolisthesis was associated with a multiple nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. The salient features of cervical spondylolisthesis include occipital headache, nuchal rigidity, torticollis, painful range of limited motion, hypesthesia, and depressed deep tendon reflexes. The treatment in the patient was anterior vertebral body fusion. Awareness of this associated problem and prompt treatment are essential for prevention of neurologic loss.
