Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are rare benign bone tumours. Scapula is a very rare location, and the relative literature is sparse. The purpose of this study is to present a case of a giant aggressive scapular aneurysmal bone cyst in a child.

Methods: We prospectively followed up 20 patients with isolated subscapularis tears treated with arthroscopic repair with suture anchors in a 3-year period (January 2006 to December 2008) at our institution. Clinical examination of the patients and functional scores (Constant and University of California, Los Angeles [UCLA] scores) were obtained preoperatively and at 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months postoperatively.
Background: There are only a few studies with long-term follow-up of distal clavicular injuries in children and their treatment is not clearly defined. The purpose of our study is to suggest a new classification system according to the fracture pattern and the degree of the displacement, to evaluate the long-term follow-up and also to propose an algorithm for treatment.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study from 1983 to 2008.
Avulsion fibular head fractures are rare. There is only one reference of bilateral fibular fractures after epileptic seizure. We aim to present the mechanism and the treatment of this rare injury.
