Orthopedic pitfalls in the ED: Lisfranc fracture-dislocation.

Lisfranc fracture-dislocation of the foot is an injury that carries a high incidence of chronic pain and disability. Its emergency department presentation can be subtle, and more frequent than previously believed. This review article examines the clinical presentation, historical factors, diagnostic techniques, and management options applicable to the emergency practitioner.

Orthopedic pitfalls in the emergency department: closed tendon injuries of the hand.

Closed tendon injuries of the hand are frequently seen in the emergency department. Unlike open tendon injuries, however, these injuries are often missed on initial presentation. Early recognition and treatment can decrease the pain, dysfunction, and long-term sequelae associated with these injuries. This review article examines the clinical presentation, historical factors, diagnostic techniques, and management options applicable to the emergency practitioner. Injuries discussed include rupture of the flexor digitorum profundus, mallet finger, central slip rupture, extensor hood rupture, and ulnar collateral ligament injury.

Avulsion fracture of the base of the fifth metatarsal not seen on conventional radiography of the foot: the need for an additional projection.

OBJECTIVE: To our knowledge, this article is the first to describe a series of patients with avulsion fractures of the base of the fifth metatarsal that were not seen on conventional radiography using the standard three views of the foot but that were seen on radiography of the ankle. CONCLUSION: Because routine radiographs of the foot may fail to reveal an avulsion fracture of the base of the fifth metatarsal, an additional projection should be obtained to better assess this region in the symptomatic patient. The additional view should be an anteroposterior radiograph of the ankle that includes the base of the fifth metatarsal because this projection has been shown to help in the diagnosis of this avulsion fracture.
