An unusual complication following caudal epidural steroid injection: a case report.

The authors present a case in which paraplegia developed following administration of caudal epidural steroid injection (ESI) and discuss the different pathophysiological mechanisms involved. The authors strongly recommend that 0.5% bupivacaine should be used with caution for caudal epidural injection.

Vacuum-assisted wound closure (VAC) with simultaneous bone transport in the leg: a technical note.

Successful treatment of infected non union in long bone fractures has always been a challenge. Segmental excision followed by bone transport is one of the common modalities of treatment in such difficult cases. The soft tissue coverage of the resulting wounds was however not well described in the literature.

Evaluation of functional outcome and patient satisfaction after arthroscopic elbow arthrolysis.

Arthroscopic arthrolysis is indicated for stiffness and pain caused by intrinsic stiffness and early arthritis of the elbow joint. Previous studies have demonstrated the benefits in relieving pain and improving motion, but none have reported the specific functional recovery. To understand the functional outcome and patient satisfaction, 26 patients were reviewed at a mean follow-up of 25 months.
