Ultrasound-guided Percutaneous Lavage as Treatment for Pellegrini-Stieda Syndrome with Suspected Same Patho-mechanism as Rotator Cuff Syndrome: A Case Report.

Introduction: Pellegrini-Stieda syndrome is described as pain and restriction at the range of motioncaused by calcification in the medial collateral ligament (MCL) around the knee with the recognized radiographic findings of the lesion in the affected site. The pathomechanism of Pellegrini-Stieda is suspected to be similar as calcification of the rotator cuff that is thought to be reactive calcification followed by resorption and tendon remodeling involving four phases (pre-calcific, formative, resorptive, and healing) without any trauma history. Since the calcium deposit in the rotator cuff has been well managed by percutaneous lavage, in this case report, we assumed that the pathomechanism of Pellegrini-Stieda Syndrome is similar to calcification of the rotator cuff, thus can be treated with the same principle using ultrasound-guided percutaneous lavage (UGPL).

Calcified Tendinitis of the Flexor Carpi Ulnaris Tendon: A Case Report.

Introduction: Calcification in the tendon (Calcific Tendinitis) occurs commonly in the shoulder, but this condition can happen in other tendon sites. Calcific tendinitis of the hand and wrist occurs rarely, which causes unfamiliarity toward the disease. With the symptoms mimicking other causes, misdiagnosis often happens.

Prevalence of proximal tibia vara in Indonesian population with knee osteoarthritis.

Background: Proximal tibia vara has drawn interest since the concept of constitutional varus was introduced. Proximal tibia vara is a condition where the knee varus tilt the tibia condyle medially and shift the tibial articular surface medially. This condition affects medial proximal tibial angle measurements and the placement of the tibial implant in knee replacement surgery.
