Medial fracture dislocation of hallucal interphalangeal joint. A case report.

A case of medical fracture dislocation of the hallucal interphalangeal joint is presented. The patient did not recall the specific mechanism that caused this injury. However, this type of injury would have to entail a substantial lateral-to-medial force at the distal phalanx. The authors' review of the literature did not reveal a similar case involving a medial dislocation of the distal phalanx. This transverse plane pathology was treated with closed reduction because of a lack of sesamoid or volar plant involvement in the joint.

Nonclostridial gas gangrene.

Although nonclostridial gas gangrene is not an unusual occurrence, relatively few cases including the distal lower extremity have been reported. Due to the serious nature of some of these infections, it is important for physicians to familiarize themselves with these nonclostridial crepitant infections, which are often confused with clostridial myonecrosis. Etiology, evaluation, and treatment is described by the authors. Also, a case study is presented.

Partial calcanectomy for the treatment of osteomyelitis of the os calcis.

Chronic heel ulcerations in the insensate or bedridden patient have always been a difficult and frustrating condition to cure. When complicated by osteomyelitis, the patient must often resort to below-the-knee amputation. Presented here is a case report of the use of partial calcanectomy and primary closure for the treatment of osteomyelitis of the os calcis with ulceration. A discussion of indications, technique, and results is given.
