Low-Velocity Knee Dislocations in Obese and Morbidly Obese Patients.

Background: Knee dislocations from minor trauma have been reported sparsely in the literature. The consensus is that these injuries tend not to be associated with neurovascular compromise.

Purpose: To present a series of atraumatic knee dislocations in obese and morbidly obese patients and to compare operative versus conservative treatment.

Giant lipomas of the upper extremity: Case reports and a literature review.

Giant fibrolipomas involving the upper extremities are rare tumours. These large masses grow slowly and produce symptoms due to their size, location and compression of adjacent structures. Surgical excision usually leads to complete recovery from symptoms.
