Surgical treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneus fractures using anatomical lateral frame plate.
The present study evaluated the results obtained from the anatomical lateral frame plate treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneus fractures. ⋯ In the present study, we have defined the results of anatomical lateral frame plate treatment in patients with displaced intraarticular calcaneus fractures. We have obtained clinically and radiologically satisfactory results with the anatomical compatibility of plate to the lateral surface of the calcaneus.

Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of acute abdominal pain, requiring emergency surgery. Approximately one third of cases have pain unexcepted location due to its various anatomical location. ⋯ Here we report a case who presented with left lower abdominal pain and was diagnosed with acute perforated appendicitis with intestinal nonrotation. Clinicians should be aware that intestinal nonrotation may be presented with left lower quadrant pain and complicated by acute appendicitis.

Case ReportsAcute arterial occlusion due to vascular closure device: A report of two cases.
Vascular closure devices are frequently used after percutaneous arterial interventions to achieve hemostasis at the puncture site and facilitate early ambulation. Occasionally, complications have been reported with closure devices, such as hematoma, infection, arteriovenous fistula, pseudoaneurysm, and ischemia. This is a report of 2 cases of severe, acute-onset arterial occlusion and critical limb ischemia, one of which occurred in the upper limb following the use of a vascular closure device, and the required surgical treatment.

The success of endotracheal intubation with a modified laryngoscope using night vision goggles.
Endotracheal intubation (ETI) procedure in the combat area differs from prehospital trauma life support procedures because of the danger of gunfire and the dark environment. We aimed to determine the success, difficulty degree, and duration of ETI procedures with a classical laryngoscope (CL) in a bright room and with a modified laryngoscope (ML) model in a dark room. ⋯ The ETI procedure is applicable using NVGs in dark conditions on the battlefield. Medical interventions performed using NVGs in the dark should be a part of the basic training provided in tactical emergency medicine.

Spiked railing penetration that causes injuries in the upper extremities of children.
Children have a curiosity for climbing walls, stairs, and railings and have an increased risk of falling. Here, we report our experience with railings causing injuries by penetrating the upper extremities, and aim to call attention to spiked railing injuries in children. ⋯ Spiked railings can lead to significant injury that requires further exploration. Boys particularly are at risk, and parents should be alert regarding these type of injuries. We recommend a standard regulation for fence erection, and we wish to warn owners of this type of fence regarding probable legal sanctions.
