Abstract:

Summary: Neglected bone fractures owing to the traditional bone-setter practices could lead to devastating complications. We aimed to describe the procedure and outcome of fascia lata augmentation for a forearm massive soft tissue loss case. Here, we report a case of a 14-year-old boy who presented to our hospital with a history of neglected right forearm fracture 4 years prior. He had been treated by a traditional bone-setter instead of seeking professional medical help, which resulted in wide-spread infection requiring debridement and, eventually, massive soft tissue loss, wrist radial devia

Abstract:

Background: Most amputees suffered from lack of rehabilitation services and went on streets as glorified beggars. However, there is a paucity of information about determinant causes of amputation in Ethiopia. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to estimate pooled prevalence of limb amputation and its determinant causes in Ethiopian population. Methods: Worldwide databases such as PubMed/MedLine, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, and Science Direct were searched to retrieve pertinent articles. Grey literatures were also looked in local and national repo

Abstract:

Background: Ankle fractures are fairly common worldwide but there is scanty literature on the man-agement of these fractures from sub-Saharan Africa. This study provides a broad picture of the prac-tices of orthopaedic surgeons in Nigeria in managing ankle fractures. Consequently, these practices can be updated, areas for further research highlighted and subsequently, guidelines developed con-cerning the contextual management of these fractures in Nigeria.Methods: This survey was carried out using online and hard copy questionnaires, distributed at an annual conference of the Nigerian Orthopae

Abstract:

IntroductionAngular knee deformities are a common sight when one watches a large group of playing children. This ‘picture’ illustrates what is probably the most important issue, which is that the parents often are more disturbed about the deformity than the kids and usually these deformities resolve with time i.e. by far the commonest deformity is the physiologic type.The physician treating these patients should remember to reassure the parents and carry them along. Their greatest fears are usually that their child will need surgery and that a required procedure is delayed. These paradoxical f

Abstract:

Introduction Neglected or inadequately treated fractures can lead to complications such as malunion, non-union, deformities, and fractures under atypical conditions that mimic pathological fractures due to biomechanical alterations and reduced bone density. Despite numerous case studies, the long-term consequences of neglected tibial malunions remain underexplored. This case report delves into the outcomes of a neglected tibia fracture malunion manifesting after an extended period. Case A 65-year-old male presented with severe shin pain and tingling, rendering him unable to walk. The patient h
