Osteochondroma of the superomedial scapula managed with a novel muscle sparing approach: case report and review of literature.

Osteochondromas are a common type of benign primary bone tumor rarely occurring in the scapula. When it is symptomatic, surgical removal is recommended. There are multiple approaches for surgical excision that can be used depending on the location and size of the tumor.

Single staged buttress plating with constrained knee arthroplasty for distal femur fractures in the elderly.

Treatment options for distal femur fractures include open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), arthroplasty, or a hybrid of both. We present a 76 year old female with left knee pain secondary to known osteoarthritis, known lateral condyle insufficiency fracture, and an acute medial condyle fracture. In order to solve the acute and chronic problems in a single procedure, a combined ORIF and constrained condylar knee (CCK) arthroplasty was performed.

Acute compartment syndrome of the leg caused by cocaine use, creatine supplementation and vigorous exercise.

Delayed diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome (ACS) can be catastrophic. Reporting abnormal presentations to facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment is vital. We present a case of ACS in the deep posterior compartment of the leg with an unusual presentation and cause.

Monteggia variant with posterior elbow dislocation and radial shaft fracture: A case report.

Introduction: The most commonly used Bado classification encompasses the large majority of Monteggia fractures, however, certain patterns cannot be classified with this system. Monteggia injuries and Monteggia-Variants are uncommon but serious injuries that can have dire consequences if not identified and treated appropriately. This paper aims to review relevant literature, discuss current classification systems, and present a case of an atypical fracture pattern.

Use of an Accessory Anteromedial Portal to Facilitate Repair of Mid-Body Radial Tears of the Lateral Meniscus in Children and Adolescents.

Meniscal tears in adolescent patients are commonly treated with repair to preserve meniscal tissue and prevent future degenerative changes. Historically, meniscal tears best suited for repair are acute vertical tears in patients aged <40 years with a normal mechanical axis, >1 cm and <4 cm in size, within the red-red zone, and concurrent with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. However, with continued advancements in technology and the development of new techniques, the possibilities and indications for meniscal repair have broadened.
