Insidious Onset Compartment Syndrome of the Forearm in a Teenager: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Compartment syndrome affecting the upper extremities is a relatively underreported event compared with compartment syndrome affecting the lower extremities. Moreover, insidious onset forearm compartment syndrome has been rarely reported and is usually limited to single case reports. We report a compartment syndrome of the forearm in a teenager.

Pyogenic tenosynovitis of the wrist due to Corynebacterium striatum in a patient with dermatomyositis: A case report.

Introduction: Corynebacterium striatum is common contaminant in clinical specimens. Here, we report a rare case of pyogenic tenosynovitis of the wrist caused by C striatum in a dermatomyositis patient taking oral immunosuppressants.

Patient Concerns: A 67-year-old Japanese woman with dermatomyositis had a history of multiple intraarticular injections of corticosteroids to the right wrist joint for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Distribution of Solitary and Multiple Enchondromas of the Hand.

Background/aim: Although some patients with enchondroma have multiple lesions, no study has investigated the distribution of lesions in patients with multiple enchondromas.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study included 118 patients with enchondroma of the hand. The incidence and characteristic feature of multiple enchondromas of the hand were investigated.

Treatment of aneurysmal bone cysts using endoscopic curettage.

Background: Although aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are benign tumours, they have the potential to be locally aggressive. Various treatment approaches, such as en bloc resection, open curettage, radiotherapy, sclerotherapy, and embolization have been proposed, but the most appropriate treatment should be selected after considering the risk of tumour recurrence and treatment complications. Endoscopic curettage (ESC) may be a less invasive alternative to open curettage for ABC treatment.

Treatment of simple bone cysts using endoscopic curettage: a case series analysis.

Background: Endoscopic curettage is considered applicable for the treatment of simple bone cysts with the expectation that it might be less invasive than open curettage. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of endoscopic curettage for the treatment of simple bone cysts. The goal was to investigate the incidence of cyst recurrence and bone healing after endoscopic curettage.

Clinical and structural remission rates increased annually and radiographic progression was continuously inhibited during a 3-year administration of tocilizumab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A multi-center, prospective cohort study by the Michinoku Tocilizumab Study Group.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and structural efficacy of tocilizumab (TCZ) during its long-term administration in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Methods: In total, 693 patients with RA who started TCZ therapy were followed for 3 years. Clinical efficacy was evaluated by DAS28-ESR and Boolean remission rates in 544 patients.
