eventually develop osteoarthritis ( 1 , 3 , 4 , 8 , 60 ). Normally, the annular ligament ensures the stability of the radiocapitellar joint by surrounding the radial head. This ligament may get torn or entrapped by the dislocation of the radial head due

primary arthroplasty for complex fractures around the knee ( Table 1 ). The first and best indications are intra-articular fractures in elderly osteoporotic patients with pre-existing symptomatic end-stage osteoarthritis. Secondly, arthroplasty might be

-traumatic osteoarthritis (OA), which can occur in up to half of the cases of Lisfranc fracture dislocations ( Fig. 8 ). 4 Fig. 8 Treatment protocol recommended by us for fracture-dislocations of the Lisfranc joint. Non-surgical treatment There is only

is a predictor of good joint function and reduced risk of post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Therefore, the surgeon should try to obtain reductions with zero displacement or up to 1 mm. The anatomical reduction and stable osteosynthesis of the acetabular

-term complications including osteonecrosis of the femoral head, posttraumatic osteoarthritis and heterotopic ossification may impair the natural course of post-injury healing and rehabilitation, often leading to a poor functional outcome and unsatisfactory clinical

cartilage, which is essential for its viability. 19 A number of studies have demonstrated that abnormal impact loading increases the risk of progressive joint wear and tear leading to post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PA). 20 - 22 Qualitative changes

for FNFs. 6 Patients, their families and healthcare networks must be mindful that emergency THA for FNFs does not correspond with elective THA. Charette et al 40 compared 135,013 THA for osteoarthritis (OA) with 4622 THAs for FNFs and

frail elderly patients ( 27 ), when present and symptomatic, it presents with painful limitation of mobility in the ankle. As such, pre-existing ankle osteoarthritis is a clinical factor in favour of TTC nailing. Alcohol abuse and/or smoking

capitulum fractures. ARIF with screws was described recently for Mason-Hotchkiss type II fractures 28 with good results: ROM, stability and strength were restored in all patients with no complications and only three cases of very mild osteoarthritis
