Proximal femur geometry: a major predictor of proximal femur fracture subtypes.

Introduction: Proximal femur geometry (PFG) represents an important risk factor for the occurrence of hip fractures. There are currently few studies regarding the correlation between PFG and the occurrence of a specific fracture subtype, and those that exist have small cohorts and present with different methodologies and contradictory results. Therefore, there is no consensus in the literature regarding this topic.

Atypically Located Solitary Neurofibroma of the Ulnar Nerve as Inaugural Presentation of a New Genetic Variant of Neurofibromatosis Type 1: A Case Report.

We report the case of a 34-year-old woman with hypothenar pain due to a solitary neurofibroma (NF) of the ulnar nerve, with an extrafascicular location, outside Guyon canal, with no clinical evidence of associated neurologic impairment, who was successfully treated with surgical resection. The identification of this isolated tumor led to the diagnosis of a new genetic variant of neurofibromatosis type 1 after genome sequencing. At the 1-year follow-up, the patient remains asymptomatic without recurrence or other peripheral nerve sheath tumors.
