Traumatic Bladder Rupture in Pelvic Fracture - Case Report: Soon yong Kwon, Woung Kyun Woo, Hwa Sung Lee, Jong Chul Kim, Yong Sik Kim; J Korean Soc Fract 2002;15(1):77-81. Published online January 31, 2002; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2002.15.1.77

Abstract PDF: Pelvic fracture and bladder rupture resulted in bladder wall entrapment in the fracture site of a patient involved in a fall down accident. Although hematuria and bladder rupture are known to occur after fracture of the pelvis, our literature review showed no reports of this type injury or management. Abscess was drainaged and sepsis was managed with fluid and antibiotics treatment. Bladder extravasation was managed with primary repair and surgical extraction of catheter drainage. We report a case of a patient who presented with traumatic bladder rupture in pelvic fracture.

Case Report

Osteochondral Avulsion Fracture in Patella after Treatment of Abscess around Knee: A Case report: Keun Soo Lee, Geon Woo Lee, Sang Ho Song, Hyun Seo; J Korean Soc Fract 1999;12(2):290-293. Published online April 30, 1999; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1999.12.2.290

Abstract PDF: Osteochondral avulsion fracture of patella has been rarely reported. We experienced one case of osteochondral avulsion fracture which was developed after abscess around knee. The patient was a 16year old with the history of abscess. The presenting symptom was knee pain and loss of extension power. Radiologic and operative findings suggested that osteochondral avulsion fracture of the patella, was caused by minor trauma near the insertion site of quadriceps tendon. In usual case of quadriceps tendon rupture, the rupture occurred at the musculotendinous junction, caused by sudden contracture of the muscle without trauma history. This case was treated successfully with tension band wiring technique. Differential diagnosis between osteochondral avulsion fracture and osteomyelitis of patella was emphasized.
