poster 137 pulmonary embolism in a patient with quadriceps and patella tendon rupture repair with Long Leg Cast a case report
Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2007Co-Authors: Andrew K Ankamah, Vipul Shah, Anoop ShahAbstract:events of the 2003 Built Ford Tough Series. Setting: 28 of 29 events from the PBR 2003 Series were retrospectively analyzed. Participants: Adult men 18 years of age and older ranked in the elite category by the PBR Inc. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Frequency of injuries categorized as upper-extremity (UE) strains and groin injuries were recorded. Injury severity noted by missed events were tabulated. End of season ranking and percentage of bulls ridden were examined. Results: 72 professional bull riders sustained 157 injuries. 46 UE injuries occurred, were the most common type of injury, and resulted in 10 missed rides or events. 13 riders sustained a total of 16 groin injuries and missed 9 events or rides. The top 10 season finishers rode an average of 50.81% of their bulls while professional bull riders who sustained a groin injury only rode 33.6%. Points toward rankings were awarded to the top finishers for each of 3 rides per event and for the top finishers of each event. The top season finisher received a $1 million bonus. Only 1 of 13 riders who sustained a groin injury finished in the top 20 riders. Conclusions: Groin injuries are less common than UE injuries in professional bull riders but result in a larger percentage of missed rides and events and cause a significant decrease in world ranking. Furthermore, income is based on performance on each ride and endorsements are often given to the highest-ranking riders. An intensive rehabilitation program for riders with groin injuries should be initiated quickly to minimize lost income and ranking.

Arthrofibrosis of the knee after tibial spine fracture in children: a report of two complicated cases.
HSS Journal, 2007Co-Authors: Purushottam A. Gholve, Kurt V. Voellmicke, Melih Güven, Scott A Rodeo, Hollis G Potter, Roger F. WidmannAbstract:Tibial spine fracture is an uncommon injury in children and adolescents [1]. According to Meyer’s classification [2], nondisplaced or minimally displaced type I and type II fractures can be treated by external splint or Long Leg Cast in extension [1–4]. Displaced type III or type IV (displaced and comminuted) fractures often require closed or open reduction with either arthrotomy or arthroscopic-assisted methods using sutures or hardware [1, 3, 5–7]. In literature, the reported complications of tibial spine fractures include anterior knee instability, extension loss, quadriceps weakness, and chondromalacia [3, 8]. Although arthroscopic treatment has the advantages of early mobilization and reduced hospital stay, there have been reports of suboptimal clinical results, which include loss of knee extension or instability [6, 8]. This is a report of two children with type III tibial spine fracture treated by open reduction in one and arthroscopic reduction in another. Postoperatively, both had arthrofibrosis that led to extension contracture in one child and flexion contracture in another. Both children had subsequent fracture of the distal femur during rehabilitation/manipulation of the knee contracture, directly related to the arthrofibrotic change. We recommend informing parents and children about arthrofibrosis and its sequelae in preoperative discussion for fixation of tibial spine fracture. Also, every effort should be made to prevent this significant complication by appropriate treatment of tibial spine fracture and attentive physical therapy.
