Of course, non-operative treatment is an option and should be considered in fracture patterns which have little or no displacement. And with or without surgery, early intervention to assist in knee mobilisation is key to prevent stiffness and muscle atrophy. Case report: We present a case a 51-year-old gentleman who after high energy axial loading of his left knee initially presented atypically of a tibial plateau fracture. Despite a later diagnosis of a Schatzker 5 tibial plateau plateau fracture was able to mobilise fully, without developing fracture displacement. We present the successful non-operative management of this case and report how and why we managed this injury in this manner. Discussion: Atypical presentations of tibial plateau fractures can catch clinicians out, and so it is important to have a high index of suspicion of these injuries. There is literature to support non-operative management of plateau fractures, but this is by no means in the majority opinion. Conclusion: For the patients managed without surgery, close monitoring of the fracture fragments with serial radiographs along with early range of movement exercises is key for successful management.","PeriodicalId":330914,"journal":{"name":"Open Journal of Surgery Case Reports","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116566202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, improper use of crutches may lead to neurovascular complications. Material and Methods: We reviewed studies written in English that were published between January, 1980 and the end of June, 2018, regarding crutch walking-induced complications. Our survey revealed three case reports that described nerve complications and eight that described vascular complications following crutch usage. Results: Muscle weakness and sensory disturbances likely occurred due to nerve injury, while axillary and or brachial artery stenoses and aneurysms lead to rupture or thromboembolism in the upper extremities. Nerve injuries developed in patients who had used one or multiple crutches for only a transient period, and in these cases, crutches were most often used due to leg fractures. Most vascular complications occurred in those who had used crutches for over fifty years, and the main reasons for crutch usage in these cases were poliomyelitis and lower limb amputation. Discussion: The proper use of crutches is essential. Users should be aware of the possibility of crutch-induced neurovascular injury and they should be followed with serial imaging even if no ischemic episodes occur in the upper extremity.","PeriodicalId":330914,"journal":{"name":"Open Journal of Surgery Case Reports","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133557222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
