Diagnostics of infrapatellar saphenous neuralgia-a reversible cause of chronic anteromedial pain following knee surgery.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of diagnostic nerve block and ultrasound findings on therapeutic choices and predict the outcome after concomitant surgery in patients with suspected neuropathy of the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve (IPBSN).

Methods: Fifty-five patients following knee surgery with suspicion of IPBSN neuralgia were retrospectively included. Ultrasound reports were assessed for neuroma and postsurgical scarring (yes/no).

Biohackers and Self-Made Problems: Infection of an Implanted RFID/NFC Chip: A Case Report.

Case: We describe the case of a 26-year-old man with an infected Radio-Frequency-Identification/Near Field Communication (RFID/NFC) chip in the middle finger. The RFID/NFC chip was removed, the soft tissue debrided, and a pan-sensitive staphylococcus aureus was detected by sonication of the RFID/NFC chip. The patient was postoperatively treated with amoxicillin and clavulanic acid (24 hours iv, total 11 days) and an intrinsic plus splint which led to complete recovery.
