Unifocal Tubercular Osteomyelitis of Ulna Diaphysis in a Child: A Case Report.

Introduction: Osteoarticular tuberculosis (OATB) contributes to around 10% of extrapulmonary tuberculosis of which the spine is the most common site. Isolated involvement of ulna diaphysis is extremely rare. We present a case of unifocal tuberculous osteomyelitis of ulna diaphysis in a 3 -year-old male child and highlight its resemblance with musculoskeletal tumors and stress the importance of GeneXpert mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)/resistance to rifampicin (RIF) in the diagnosis of OATB.

Extensive Synovial Chondromatosis of the Knee Managed by open radical synovectomy: A Case Report with review of literature.

Introduction: Synovial chondromatosis of the knee is an unusual, rare, benign metaplastic neoplasm of the synovium, characterized by the formation of focal cartilaginous nodules in the synovium. It predominantly involves the anterior compartment of knee and extensive, disseminated involvement is rarely reported. Diagnosis is usually established with clinicoradiological imaging and confirmed by histology.

Diagnosis of Intraosseous Hibernoma of an Appendicular Skeleton in an Adult - A Rare Case Report.

Introduction: Hibernoma is an uncommon benign tumor composed of multivacuolated brown adipocytes described in the literature a decade back. Intraosseous hibernomas are extremely rare with propensity to affect axial skeleton. Involvement of appendicular skeleton has been reported only twice in the literature till date.

Proximal Thoracic Kyphoscoliosis with Dorsal Myelopathy in a Case of Congenital Absence of Thoracic Pedicles: A Case Report.

Case: A 14-year-old boy with proximal thoracic kyphoscoliosis associated with the bilateral absence of thoracic pedicles presented with progressive deformity, paraparesis, and difficulty in ambulation. The case was managed by preoperative halo traction, single-stage 2-level vertebral column resection, decompression, and arthrodesis of thoracic vertebrae. Two years postoperatively, the patient showed neurological improvement, leading to unassisted ambulation and fusion at the corpectomy site.

Clinicoradiological outcome of percutaneous intralesional polidocanol in Aneurysmal Bone Cysts: A prospective study of 43 patients in a single tertiary care centre.

Objective: The study reports the efficacy of sequential instillations of intralesional percutaneous polidocanol in the treatment of skeletal ABC. The study also analyses the pain relief, recurrence, radiological outcome and complications after percutaneous sclerotherapy.

Materials And Methods: A total of 43 patients with ABC were managed by fluoroscopy assisted percutaneous intralesional sclerotherapy with 3% Injection Polidocanol under suitable anaesthesia.

A case of cervical OPLL and DISH mimicking stroke.

Background: Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a progressive disorder that mostly involves the cervical spine. It is more prevalent in East Asian countries. Patients typically present with the gradual onset of myelopathy, while about 5% show rapid progression.

Isolated L5 nerve root injury without osseous disruption in a case of gunshot injury to the paediatric spine-A case report.

Introduction: There exists sparse literature on Gunshot injuries (GSI) to the pediatric spine, its natural course, management protocols and outcomes following surgical intervention. Here, we present a projectile injury to the paediatric lumbar spine without any osseous disruption in a 5-year-old child requiring surgical management.

Case Presentation: A 5-year-old child presented with a gunshot injury to the pediatric lumbar spine.

Evaluation of functional outcome and neurological recovery pattern in patients with retro-thecal tubercular epidural abscess managed at a tertiary center.

We performed a retrospective observational study to analyze the neurological recovery pattern in patients with a sub-laminar retro-thecal epidural abscess managed at our tertiary apex center from 2014 to 2020. We evaluated the Maximal Spinal Cord Compression (MSCC) ratio on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), the time interval between the appearance of neurological deficit and the initiation of management, spasticity as per Modified Ashworth Scale, presence of drug resistance, and the Lower Extremity Motor Score (LEMS). All patients were given anti-tubercular chemotherapy.
