A 54-Year-Old Man Who Developed a Femoral Pathologic Fracture from a Giant Popliteal Artery Pseudoaneurysm 7 Years After Ligation and Bypass of a Popliteal Artery Aneurysm: A Case Report and Literature Review.

BACKGROUND This case report describes a giant pseudoaneurysm that grew in size during the years following surgical treatment of a popliteal artery aneurysm, eventually causing a femoral fracture.

Extra-abdominal desmoid tumor fibromatosis: a multicenter EMSOS study.

Background: Extra-abdominal desmoid tumor fibromatosis (DTF) is a rare, locally aggressive soft tissue tumour. The best treatment modality for this patient cohort is still object of debate.

Questions/purpose: This paper aimed to (1) to compare the outcomes of DTF after different treatment modalities, (2) to assess prognostic factors for recurrence following surgical excision, and (3) to assess prognostic factors for progression during observation.

Rare and uncommon diseases of the hip: arthroscopic treatment.

Aim Uncommon and rare hip diseases are sources of pain and functional limitation particularly in young patients. Some of these conditions may be nowadays treated by arthroscopy due to the expertise and technical tips that high-volume hip arthroscopies have achieved during the last decades ensuring a wider range of indications for such a procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical results of arthroscopy in treating uncommon or rare diseases of the hip at a single Institution.
