Orthopedic Management of Decubitus Ulcers Around the Proximal Femur
Kari-Elise Tryggestad, BS, Thomas Youm, MD, and Kenneth J.
Koval, MD
When the hip joint becomes infected or when the wound has been refractory to
repairs, it may become necessary to consider surgery—the procedures and
relevant considerations are discussed. |

Analysis of Iliac Crest Bone Grafting Process Measures
MAJ Aman Dhawan, MD, COL Timothy R. Kuklo, MD, and COL (ret) David W. Polly, Jr., MD
Postoperative computed tomography was used in patients who underwent posterior
autogenous iliac crest bone graft harvesting, in order to determine the incidence
of sacroiliac joint violation; also assessed were such measures as blood loss
and harvest time.

Diaphyseal Stress Fractures in an Equestrian
Seth A. Jerabek MD, Steven N. Shah MD, and Andrew G. Urquhart MD
Femoral shaft stress fractures continue to be common in military recruits as
well as in runners. Jerabek and colleagues report this case because the proposed
mechanism of injury is unique—repetitive thigh adductor activity as a competitive
equestrian.

Acetabular Fracture Secondary to Electroconvulsive Therapy: A Case Report
Ayoub Mirza, MD, MRCP, and Timothy B. Johnson, DO
Mirza and Johnson note that acetabular fracture can result from relatively simple forces in elderly patients with osteopenia and that, although uncommon, the possibility of fracture should be considered if a patient complains of persistent pain after
electroconvulsive therapy.
Spontaneous Absorption of Proximal Scaphoid: Successful Treatment With Costo-Osteochondral Autograft
Sokratis E. Varitimidis, MD, Vasilios C. Zachos, MD,
Zoe H. Dailiana, MD, and Konstantinos N. Malizos, MD
The authors note that periarticular osteopenia is a common finding in cases of
posttraumatic joint immobilization for treatment of an adjacent fracture, but
that complete resorption of an intra-articular or periarticular bone segment
is unexpected.

Patellar Sleeve Fractures in Children:
Rishi R. Gupta, BS, Ann M. Johnson, MD, Leslie Moroz, BA,
and Lawrence Wells, MD
Gupta and colleagues point out that these fractures are less
likely to occur in children than in adults because of the
surrounding soft tissue component and cartilaginous nature of the immature patella but that it is conceivable that children or adolescents may impose a significant strain on their immature patella by a well-developed quadriceps muscle.
