Arthroplasty and Reconstruction Archives - Page 2 of 2

December 2022 saw the first ever Case Competition on myAO. Surgeons from across the 5 specialties of the AO network shared interesting cases to be reviewed and discussed with their peers on myAO groups. The competition was tight but after deliberation we were delighted to announce the winners:

From die-punch fractures to shoulder instability in dogs, the winning surgeons showed us how they successfully managed treatment. Have a look at the winning cases below and feel free to leave a comment or show your appreciation thanks to the applaud function.

Dr. Anirban Chatterjee, MD, India

Trauma

A die-punch fracture is a depression fracture of the lunate fossa of the distal radius that is caused by a vertical load through the lunate. In some cases, the die-punch fracture is in a state that is difficult to reset, such as when it is not limited to the lunate fossa.
