Strategies for periprosthetic joint infection management in resource-limited settings: the applicability of EBJIS criteria.

Background And Purpose: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a significant and challenging healthcare issues. Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. The aim of our study is to underscore the usefulness of the new EBJIS definition and criteria when applied in a developing country department.

Case Report: An exceptional localisation in the thigh of a giant primary subcutaneous hydatid cyst.

Hydatid disease is a zoonotic disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus and is found globally. Although the liver and lungs are the most prevalent sites of involvement, sub-cutaneous hydatid cysts are rare especially in the primary occurrence. Sub-cutaneous hydatid cysts usually are noticed as slow growing, painless, and mobile masses beneath the overlying skin which is usually normal and are generally found on the trunk and proximal extremities.

Tenosynovial giant cell tumour in Hoffa fat pad: a case report.

Giant cell tumour is a benign lesion classified as a fibrocystic tumour whose localization in Hoffa's fat pad is very rare. Clinical symptoms are insidious and non-specific causing a frequent confusion and delay in diagnosis therefore it should be distinguished radiologically from other similar conditions such as Hoffa´s disease and lipomas. We report a case of a 37-year-old patient, with no relevant history, who complained of a right knee pain for 5 years.

Cleavage Intercondylar Fracture of the Femur: A Case Report.

Distal femur fractures account for less than 1% of all fractures and about 3 to 6% of all femoral fractures. Several classifications have been described but some types of distal femur fractures escape them such as the cleavage intercondylar fracture of the femur. To our knowledge, there have been only four cases reported in the literature.

Primary giant hydatid cysts of the thigh and the gluteal region: a case report.

Primary musculoskeletal echinococcosis is rare and accounts for 2-3% of the patients with hydatid disease. We report a case of giant primary hydatid cysts of the thigh and the gluteal region in an 82-year-old female, who presented with a painful multiple palpable mass. The diagnosis was confirmed by imaging and serology.
