Solitary Bone Cyst in the Lumbar Spine: Case Report and Literature Review.

Introduction: To describe a rare case of solitary bone cyst in the vertebral body of the lumbar vertebra in an adult patient. The solitary bone cyst is defined as a cystic lesion with liquid content. Few cases have been described in the vertebral location without preference for the posterior arch or vertebral body.

Sagittal Deformity Correction in a Patient Suffering From Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis Who Previously Underwent a Total Hip and Bilateral Knee Replacement.

Introduction: Physiological aging frequently leads to degenerative changes and spinal deformity. In patients with hypolordotic fusions or ankylosing illnesses such as diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis or ankylosing spondylitis, compensation mechanisms can be altered causing severe pain and disability. In addition, if a total hip replacement and/or knee replacement is performed, both pelvic and lower limbs compensation mechanisms could be damaged and prosthetic dislocation or impingement syndrome could be present.

An Unusual Case of Radicular Pain Caused by Bilateral Lumbar Synovial Cyst: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Introduction: Spinal synovial cysts (SSCs) constitute an uncommon degenerative lesion of the spine. They are usually asymptomatic but they may also cause symptoms of variable severity. SSCs are benign growths adjoining the facet joints that may induce low back pain, lumbar radiculopathy, and neurological deficit.

Bosworth fracture. An atypical case of irreducible ankle fracture-dislocation.

An irreducible ankle-fracture dislocation in which the proximal fibular shaft fragment locks behind the posterior tibial tubercle is defined as "The Bosworth injury". Characteristically, this fracture is generally not reducible using closed methods. A high number of attempts can be counterproductive to get a good final functional result and it may also lead to the appearance of future complications.
