Introduction: Intra-articular injections form an integral part of diagnostic and therapeutic tools in Orthopaedics. Intra-articular injections have traditionally been performed without any imaging support, guided only by anatomic landmarks. This study was performed to assess the accuracy of intra-articular foot and ankle injections without fluoroscopy guidance.

Background: Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasonography (LIPUS) and Electrical Stimulation (ESTIM) are two commonly prescribed non-invasive techniques for the treatment of fresh fractures and fracture non unions. To date, no Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) have directly compared the efficacy of LIPUS versus ESTIM on fracture healing.

This is an open labeled and retrospective cohort study which compared the efficacy of Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) stimulation to facilitate unstable forearm fracture healing in children.Twenty five children with both radius and ulna diaphysis fractures were treated with intramedullary nailing (mean age 9.2±2.6 years) using K-wires.

1. Background
Cervical esophageal perforation of traumatic origin is a rare condition that entails a vital risk for the patient. Early management by the emergency team is crucial to reduce the high morbidity and mortality that is usually associated with this pathology.
2. Methods We describe a rare case of cervical esophageal perforation caused by a large foreign body and review the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of this condition.

Inferior shoulder dislocation or luxatio erecta is one of the less usual forms of shoulder dislocation. Musculoskeletal and neurovascular injuries are frequently associated. Injury of the axillary artery causing pseudoaneurysm is a very rare occurrence but it is a serious surgical emergency and a surgical intervention is indicated. Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of axillary pseudoaneurysm may result in upper limb morbidity or patient mortality.
