Liposarcomas (LPS) are the most common malignant tumors among soft tissue sarcomas. We report a rare case of well-differentiated liposarcoma (lipoma-like) located along the anterior compartment of the right forearm, which was successfully treated with complete excision, resulting in good functional recovery without recurrence during a 2-year follow-up. Surgery is the primary treatment for localized forms, involving complete and radical excision with clear resection margins.

Our work aims to summarize the clinical presentation and improve leading to therapeutic guidelines which are not well established by reporting a case of ORIF with mini-screws for a displaced fracture of the body of the trapezium with a satisfactory outcome.

Our work aimed to analyze our patients' functional and radiological results after surgery and identify potential medium- and long-term complications while reviewing other series previously reported in the literature.
Methods: We have performed a retrospective study over five years at our university hospital, eleven patients were selected, and the mean follow-up was about 33 months.
Unlabelled: Pelvic pain is a frequent reason for consultation; the management is complex, given the differences in symptomatic and anatomical orientation. We present an exceptional case of intergluteal synovial sarcoma rarely described in the literature, with an incidence of about 1/1 000 000 and less than 10 cases of intergluteal location are published.
Case Presentation: Through this publication, we present a very exceptional case of synovial sarcoma.
Nerve fibrolipoma is a very rare benign tumor, corresponding to fibrofatty proliferation of the epineurium and perineurium, where most frequently, the median nerve is touched. We report the case of a 52-year-old patient who has a giant fibrolipoma of the thenar branch of the median nerve evolving at the level of the thenar eminence, an exceptional size and location for this disorder. Our case presents fibrolipoma of the median nerve in thenar eminence, a size and localization that has not been reported in the literature to our knowledge A good dissection makes it possible to obtain total resection without neurological after-effects.

The pure obturator hip dislocation variant is very rare. It is considered an emergency, and its management must be done within 6 h by a qualified surgeon in order to reduce the risk of osteonecrosis of the femoral head and iatrogenic fractures.

It is therefore a post-traumatic ankle disease growing in parallel with the increase in road-traffic accidents requiring the study of incriminated factors such as hypoplasia of the medial malleolus.
Case Presentation: The authors report the case of a young patient, a football player, who presented with a pure, closed dislocation of his ankle following a road-traffic accident.
How can this defective soft tissue be covered? What are the surgical requirements and postoperative instructions? What indicators are used to assess the sensitivity of the flap? How is the impact of this type of flap on the patient's daily life evaluated?

It is characterized by a slow evolution, with local recurrences and late metastases that are mainly pulmonary and pleural in about 50% of cases. The treatment is based on the surgery which must be as wide as possible.

Carpal antelunar dislocations are much rarer than posterior dislocations. Their frequencies are between 3 and 6% of carpal perilunar dislocations. Out of 23 cases of carpal antelunar dislocations listed in the literature, there are only 11-scapho antelunar dislocations.

Few series have been reported in the literature, making their analysis difficult. We provide a retrospective study involving 12 patients, operated on by this technique for displaced fractures of the metacarpals and phalanges, over a two year period.

Hydatid disease of bone is rarely seen in humans and it has been reported in only 1-2% of cases of echinococcosis. We present a patient who developed hydatid disease of the left pelvic and femoral bones with cartilage destruction of the ipsilateral hip joint revealing a retroperitoneal location of hydatid cyst.
