Background: Oncogenic osteomalacia is a rare paraneoplastic association of Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) secreting excessive levels of a PTH like substance. They usually remain undiagnosed and patients suffer for years. The rarity of this tumor and its non-specific clinical presentations poses great challenge to the treating surgeons.

Introduction: Shoulder Injuries Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA), describes those cases of shoulder severe post-inoculation complications, including pain and prolonged disability. Most of the reported cases have been secondary to influenza vaccination. This study retrospectively describes a series of 18 patients following SARS-CoV-2 inoculation and compares the findings with those previously reported for other vaccines.

Objective: To compare the outcome of carpal tunnel release using the limited longitudinal palmar incision technique and mini open transverse flexor crease incision technique.

Materials And Methodsl: Between October 2017 and September 2019, we performed Carpal Tunnel release procedures on 122 consecutive patients with unilateral idiopathic CTS. Patients in Group A (64 patients) had a palmar mini open longitudinal incision at wrist.

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluates the effectiveness of Continuous upper arm brachial block (CUABB) combined with arthroscopic capsular release for treating resistant frozen shoulder cases in 123 patients from June 2016 to July 2019.
  • Postoperative care included continuous analgesia for 2-3 weeks and regular physiotherapy, with follow-ups assessing pain and shoulder function over 18 months.
  • Results showed significant improvements in shoulder mobility and pain scores, with no need for additional opioids and minimal neurological complications that resolved with dosage adjustment.

Background: Many surgeons are unaware of the risks posed by the surgical diathermy. Apart from the numerous chemicals, surgical smoke had been shown to harbour intact bacterial and virus particles especially COVID-19 in the current time.

Objective: To identify the inhalational, infectious, chemical, and mutagenic risks of surgical smoke and suggest evidence-based hazard reduction strategies.

Unlabelled: Isolated midtarsal (Chopart's) joint dislocations are rare, although cases involving medial, lateral, plantar, and dorsal displacement have been reported. These dislocations are often associated with osteochondral fractures. To the best of our knowledge, isolated dorsal midtarsal dislocation owing to plantarflexion of the forefoot on the hindfoot with the ankle in a neutral or dorsiflexed position is rare.

Study Design: This is a report of a patient with T6 butterfly vertebra, which is an uncommon congenital spinal anomaly.

Objective: To illustrate the significance of identifying butterfly vertebra that may be confused with other pathologic conditions like fractures, infections, and metastases.

Summary Of Background Data: We report a 46-year-old woman with butterfly vertebra of T6 spine.

Periarticular fractures that occur in a previously osteoarthritic knee, especially in an elderly patient, will be associated with other comorbidities and is a treatment challenge. Early mobilization is a key treatment principle in the geriatric population. We present a case report of an elderly diabetic patient with osteoarthritis of the knee joint who sustained a patellar fracture and was treated with single-stage primary total knee arthroplasty and fixation of the patellar fracture.

We carried out an anthropometric analysis using three dimensional computer tomographic measurements of the cut surface of the proximal tibia in 200 knees that were obtained from 50 male and 50 female Korean cadavers. We measured the mediolateral (ML), middle anteroposterior (AP), medial and lateral anteroposterior dimensions and the aspect ratio (ML/AP) of the resected proximal tibial surface; we then compared this data with the five conventionally used symmetric total knee components. We found that the ML (73.

Various causes have been reported for cystic lesions arising from the cruciate ligaments. We present a case of synovial chondromatosis that involved the posterior cruciate ligament and was treated by an arthroscopic posterior-posterior triangulation method. We recommend that synovial chondromatosis be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the cruciate ligaments.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-8 affect the expression of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in human nucleus pulposus cells from intervertebral discs.
  • * Researchers also looked at how dexamethasone impacts FAK expression when those cytokines are present.
  • * Findings showed that TNF-alpha and IL-8 increase FAK expression, while dexamethasone reduces this effect, with IL-8 having a stronger influence than TNF-alpha.*

Cystic lesions arising in relation to the cruciate ligaments of the knee joint may become symptomatic and they can cause restriction of joint movement. We report here on a case of haemorrhagic synovial cyst arising from the posterior cruciate ligament with extension into the posterior compartment of the knee joint. We treated this lesion using the arthroscopic posterior-posterior triangulation technique.

Unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) has gained popularity in the recent years for treating medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee joint in the Asian population. There is little information about the anthropometry of the resected bony surfaces of the knee joint in these population groups for designing the appropriate size-matched UKA components. We studied the anthropometry of the resected medial tibial condyles in 50 male and 50 female Korean cadavers by using three-dimensional computer tomography.
