Osteolipoma of the ankle: A rare case report.

Osteolipoma are uncommon benign soft tissue tumors, deriving from fat cells metaplasia. We report a case of 47-year-old female with a progressively enlarging, painless mass over the anteromedial aspect of left ankle, explorations showed a calcified masse and histopathologic diagnosis was in favor of osteolipoma, which was resected surgically without any recurrence after 2 years follow up. This tumor can affect different regions of the body but ankle location is very rare and must be distinguished from other diagnosis essentially sarcoma.

Enneking type III resection of pubic chondrosarcoma: A case report.

Chondrosarcomas are rare malignant cartilaginous tumor affecting adult and elderly patient. Pelvic and long bones are the most common location. We differentiate conventional chondrosarcoma which arises do novo from preexisting normal bone (primary chondrosarcoma) or within a preexisting lesion such as enchondromas or osteochondromas (secondary chondrosarcoma), Other rare subtypes of chondrosarcoma include clear cell chondrosarcoma, dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma, and mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, which will be considered separately.

Neurotization of isolated axillary nerve palsy in a teenage patient.

Background And Aim: The aim of this article was to study isolated axillary nerve injury, his etiologies, symptomatology and treatment via nerve transfer or neurotization.

Methods: We describe the procedure of long head triceps radial branch transfer to the axillary nerve motor branch in adolescent patient with right deltoid muscle palsy and shoulder anesthesia following a motorcycle crush six months ago.

Results: Total recovery of the shoulder sensibility, abduction and extension at one-year follow-up, and patient returned progressively to his normal live and sports activities without any functional effect on the donor muscle.

[Combined lumbar plexus-sciatic nerve block in the emergency surgery for pertrochanteric fracture: an alternative technique in patients at high risk of anaesthetic complications].

Introduction: emergency surgery for pertrochanteric femoral fractures (PFF) in patients at high risk of anaesthetic complications is a real challenge for surgeons due to the increased intraoperative risk. We report our experience with combined lumbar plexus-sciatic nerve block as an alternative anesthetic technique for these fractures.

Methods: we conducted a three-year descriptive, single-center, cross-sectional study including patients with a history of recent pertrochanteric femoral fractures (PFF) at high risk anaesthetic complications.
