Article Synopsis
  • Hydatid diseases are caused by the Echinococcus granulosus parasite, commonly affecting the liver and lungs, but rare cases, like muscular hydatidosis, can occur.
  • A case study reported a 71-year-old man with a 2-year history of swelling in his hand and forearm, diagnosed via MRI and confirmed through surgical biopsy.
  • The condition is rare, with MRI being the best diagnostic tool, and treatment typically involves surgical removal of the cyst and possible medication to reduce recurrence risk.

Introduction: The traumatic dislocation of the shoulder in a toddler is rare and is typically observed in children with neuromuscular issues. The treatment approach for this condition is extrapolated from that of shoulder dislocations in adults and teenagers. The primary complication is recurrence.

Background: The procedure of hip fracture repair poses a risk for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in elderly patients, accompanied by anesthesia and operations. Various noninvasive methods of respiratory support are used as prophylactic and therapeutic, mainly in the postoperative period.  Objective: This study aims to determine whether intraoperative use of a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) impacts elderly patient outcomes after hip fracture surgery.

Introduction: The osteonecrosis and the collapse of the humeral head may have many risk factors such as trauma, alcoholism, metabolic diseases, and corticosteroid therapy. Otherwise, it was described as a rare complication of shoulder arthroscopy in the past few years.

Case Report: We report the case of a 65-year-old right-handed woman who had a rotator cuff tear of the right shoulder.

Introduction: The divergent elbow dislocation represents a rare lesion where the proximal radioulnar joint is torn and the distal part of the humerus goes between the radius and the ulna, the forearm dislocates posteriorly.

Case Report: We report the case of a 37-year-old male patient who had a traumatic divergent dislocation of the left elbow, associated with ipsilateral fractures of the ulnar diaphysis and the radial styloid process. The elbow joint was reduced under general anesthesia with internal fixation of the ulnar diaphysis fracture and a pinning of the radial styloid fracture.

Osteoid osteoma is the most common benign bone tumor because it accounts for 10-12% of all these tumors. Localized most often with long bones (75% of cases), especially in the tibia and femur, osteoid osteoma can evoke other etiologies, especially when it is juxta-articular. We report the case of an osteoid osteoma of the sesamoid in a 23-year-old patient with no particular history who presented pain at the root of his hallux evolving for 6 months.

Introduction: Villonodular synovitis (SVN) is a rare benign pseudotumoral proliferation of the synovial joint, of unknown etiology. In general, it reaches the big joints, especially the knee. Localization at the subtalar level is extremely rare, with only a few cases published in the literature.

Monteggia described a fracture of the proximal third of the ulna with anterior dislocation of the radial head from both the proximal radioulnar and radiocapitellar joints. The key treatment principle in Monteggia fractures is stable anatomic alignment of the ulna. We present an uncommon case of a Monteggia fracture-dislocation with an unreducable anterior dislocation of the radial head and associated with a lesion of the lateral collateral ligament of the elbow.

In this report, we describe an extremely unusual Monteggia equivalent type 1 lesion in a 10-year-old boy following a fall from a height of 1 m. On the plain radiographs, our patient had a particular Monteggia equivalent type 1 injury associating a posterior elbow dislocation with diaphyseal radius and ulna fractures. The patient was treated by closed reduction technique.

The long fingers' paddlefish carpometacarpal (CMC) dislocation is exceptional. Most dislocations occur after high energy trauma. Untreated, these lesions can result in chronic instability of the CMC joints and early osteoarthritis.

Introduction: The anterior perilunate dislocations of the carp (PDC)are exceptional and poorly known lesions, which may go unnoticed in an emergency. They derive their importance from the severity of sequelae, which are dominated by chronic wrist instability and long-term osteoarthritis.

Case Report: We report the case of an open anterior PDC with no carpal fracture in a young patient.

Introduction: Odontoideum bone or the mobile odontoid process is one of the rarest malformations of the cervico-occipital hinge. It exposes to the atlo-axial instability and to the risk of bulbo-medullary compression threatening then the vital and functional prognosis. We report the case of a 16-year-old patient who was the victim of a raod accident resulting in acervical spine injury.

Arborescent lipoma is an unusual intra-articular lesion that typically develops in the knee and has to be evoked before chronic effusion. It corresponds to hyperplasia of mature fatty tissue and hypertrophy of synovial villi, developing within a joint. The reference treatment is synovectomy by arthrotomy.

Introduction: The concomitance of ipsilateral physeal fractures of the distal femur and the proximal tibia is an extremely scarce entity. It is conceptually similar to floating knee in pediatric population.

Case Report: One case with this injury is reported in a 16-year-old teenager.

Chondroblastic osteosarcoma, representing about 25% of osteosarcoma, is a fatal primary malignancy of the skeleton if not diagnosed and treated appropriately. It most commonly occurs in the long bones of the extremities near the metaphyseal growth plates. In this report, we describe the occurrence of chondroblastic osteosarcoma involving the left distal tibia in a 14-year-old male.
