Tibialis anterior tendon transfer (TATT) is a recognised procedure for the treatment of recurrent congenital talipes equinovarus. The most common technique in use requires three skin incisions and breaching of the plantar tissues, risking pressure areas and damage to neurovascular structures. There have been no studies showing the clinical results of the use of a bone anchor to secure the tendon without drilling through the lateral cuneiform.

- Recurrent shoulder dislocations can lead to significant glenoid bone loss, and understanding the extent of this loss is crucial for deciding on surgical interventions.
- A systematic review identified and assessed various CT-based methods for measuring glenoid bone loss, ultimately including nine relevant studies due to inconsistent data across the literature.
- While no single ideal method was found, surface area techniques showed greater reliability and less risk of overestimating bone loss, emphasizing the need for standardized imaging practices and future research.
Article Synopsis
- This case study discusses a 2-year-old with macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) who was mistakenly diagnosed with septic arthritis, illustrating the challenge of accurately diagnosing such conditions in smaller hospitals.
- It highlights the similarities between MAS and septic arthritis, while summarizing clinical, radiological, and epidemiological characteristics of MAS, which is often underdiagnosed.
- The study includes a diagnostic algorithm and current treatment recommendations, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and treatment to improve patient outcomes.
