Osteopetrosis is also called Albers-Schonberg disease. This is a rare disease due to defective osteoclastic activity. It has two varieties, infantile autosomal recessive and benign adult autosomal dominant variety.

Anchor v Rope injury in the young.
Segond fracture of the lateral tibial plateau rim (arrow) at the capsular attachment is virtually always associated with an ACL rupture. In this case (ie young boy) the bone is weaker than the ligament thus there has been avulsion of the ligament origin with leak of bone ...

COME LET US REASON TOGETHER! As @kmpdu we are willing and ready to come to the negotiating table in good faith and without conditionalities. We believe it is only the president @WilliamsRuto who can unlock this stalemate.Everybody else is digging in and this is not providing a healthy environment for negotiations. Kenyans (both patients and doctors)have already paid a high price for the intrasigience of the employers. No need to put them thru' more pain. As the book of Isaiah says,"COME LET US REASON TOGETHER"!! @koske_felix @Nakhumicha_S @Kenyajudiciary @NAssemblyKE @KenyaGovernors @RailaOdinga @USEmbassyKenya

It's very important to know the mechanism of injury of the teardrop fractures. Remember that : Extension teardrop Fx is usually STABLE but Flexion teardrop Fx is ALWAYS UNSTABLE!

When it Really Really Matters แต€แดน To limit plunge at the drill tip, you need to support the drill column as close to the movement axis as possible. The magnitude of unwanted movement multiplies with distance. I use thumb-to-thumb counter pressure #orthotwitter #orthopedics

Pitfall: NOT a fracture. 1. Normal ossification center of the inferior pole of the patella. 2. Normal irregular ossification at the anterior surface of the patella. โ€”on-call cases
