Degenerative arthritis of pseudoarticulation between the os peroneum and cuboid: a rare cause of lateral foot pain.

The painful os peroneum syndrome is widely recognized. It is often the result of trauma. However degenerative changes between the os peroneum and the articular facet is much rarer and we could only find two other case reports in the literature.

Recurrence of Pelvic Chondrosarcoma through Fascial Defect into Abdominal Cavity.

Our patient was a 76-year-old female who has been operated on 2 times in 8 years for pelvic chondrosarcoma. The patient came to our clinic with a large mass in left iliac region which extended into the paravertebral area. Physical examination and preoperative imagining studies revealed a mass at the left iliac area that infiltrated sciatic notch and extended from posterior iliac region towards the anterior side of iliac bone through the sciatic notch and an incisional hernia including descending colon.

Popliteal entrapment syndrome. A systematic review of the literature and case presentation.

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is rare in young adults. Claudication of the young patient, which is often overlooked, is a very rare symptom for orthopedic surgeons. In elder patients, the physician might expect atherosclerotic claudication, however in young patients, popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) should be considered as a possibility in the cases of claudication.

Proximal humerus head-splitting fracture associated with single-part anterior dislocation.

Fractures that split the humeral head are extremely rare, and usually, the split part is posteriorly dislocated. However, in our case, the split part was anteriorly dislocated and trapped between the anterior glenoid and the subscapularis muscle. In this case, the acquisition of preoperative CT results was vital to plan the exposure and reduction strategies.

Comment to: Haque S, Khan A, Sharma A, Sundararajan S: Technical tip: tightrope fixation of neer type II distal clavicle fracture supported by a case series. Pol Orthop Traumatol, 2014; 79: 19-22.

Additional suture anchor fixation to coracoclaviculer area with precountered distal clavicle locking plate allows an anatomic reduction with bone-bone contact and gives additional neutralisation effect with coracoclavicular suture anchor fixation against the trapezius muscle pulling effect .Event though the effeciency of this technique reported by other authors,still there is a few articles and cases reported.In the terms of proving the efficiency of the combination technique we would like to stress to contribute the published article by Haque et al.

Myositis ossificans circumscripta, secondary to high-velocity gunshot and fragment wound that causes sciatica.

This report concerns an unusual cause of sciatica. The case presented is of a young man with myositis ossificans that resulted in sciatica and was treated with en bloc excision and low-dose radiotherapy and indomethacine. The aim of this study was to explain the different diagnostic properties of myositis ossificans around the hip and non-classic causes of sciatica.

Solitary osteochondroma of ischial ramus causing sciatic nerve compression.

We present a 25-year-old male case of osteochondroma originating from ischial ramus which causes sciatica. The pelvic involvement is rare. Iliac crest of the pelvis is often involved.

Solitary synovial osteochondroma of the knee: mimicking a giant loose body.

Solitary synovial osteochondromas are rarely seen. Usually arising from the juxta-articular soft tissues without attaching to the bone, these lesions can be large and show clinical and radiological features of a malignant process. This report is about a 64-year-old woman with no history of trauma.

[The "wheel track" technique in lateral meniscus surgery: a technical note].

Partial meniscectomy is the most widely used intervention in the arthroscopic treatment of meniscal disorders. Despite improved arthroscopic techniques and instrumentation, surgery of the lateral compartment is still challenging. The "wheel track" technique, first described here, will facilitate partial meniscectomy in cases where surgical intervention presents difficulties, in particular at the corpus or the anterior horn of the menisci, and the discoid meniscus.
