Tibio-Talo-Calcaneal Arthrodesis: Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Specific Surgical Technique in 17 Cases.

Introduction: Ankle arthrodesis is a crucial surgical intervention for advanced hindfoot conditions, aiming to restore plantigrade walking and alleviate pain. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a specific surgical approach for tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (TTCA), focusing on rigorous risk factor control, corticocancellous grafting, and internal fixation using an angled retrograde femoral nail in the sagittal plane, and assesses the outcomes of this approach in terms of bone fusion and reduction of postoperative complications.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective analysis includes 17 patients who underwent TTCA in a trauma-orthopedic department over seven years.

Challenges and Outcomes in the Management of Periprosthetic Humeral Fractures: A Retrospective Study and Review of Current Approaches.

Introduction: Periprosthetic humeral fractures are a rare and increasing entity due to the rising number of shoulder arthroplasties. These fractures pose a significant challenge for surgeons, with incidence rates ranging from 1.2% to 19.

Giant cell tumour of the femoral neck: Failure of curettage-cavity filling cementation with screw fixation, a case report.

Background: Giant cell tumours are common primary long bone tumours with femoral neck locations infrequent and notorious for pathological fractures. Treatment with simple curettage often results in local recurrence. Aggressive treatment that combines tumour resection with cement filling and internal fixation aims at preserving native joint function.

Talar body fracture combined with medial malleolar fracture: a case report and literature review.

Fracture of the talar body is rare, it reaches articular congruence and determines the ankle's functional prognosis. The authors report a case of a combination of a sagittal talar body fracture with fracture of the medial malleolus in a 52-year-old following a road traffic accident. The association talus body fracture with a medial malleolus fracture is exceptional.

Surgical management of intramuscular hemangioma of the foot: a case report.

Background: Hemangiomas are benign tumors usually found in the lower extremity yet their surgical management on the location in the foot is rarely documented.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a plantar intramuscular hemangioma in 25-year-old patient with a history of percutaneous therapy. Patient had undergone intralesional sclerotherapy 3 years prior to his admission with persistent pain on weight bearing activities.

[A rare case of external subtalar dislocation].

Subtalar dislocation is a very rare injury. It is an orthopedic emergency. External dislocation is exceptional.

[Anterior shoulder dislocation associated with fracture of the ipsilateral humeral diaphysis: about two cases].

The association of shoulder dislocation with fracture of the ipsilateral humeral diaphysis is a rare injury. We report two cases of anterior shoulder dislocation associated with concomitant ipsilateral humeral fracture. Reduction of shoulder dislocation followed by screw-plate fixation of the fracture of the humeral diaphysis was performed in both cases.

[Intramedullary nailing in bifocal leg fractures: about 16 cases].

We conducted a retrospective study of bifocal closed fractures of the tibia in order to assess the severity of this unusual lesion. We analyzed the entry point for intramedullary nailing as well as the different therapeutic options. Sixteen patients with AO type 42C2 bifocal leg fractures were treated in our Traumatology-Orthopedics Unit A at the University Hospital Hassan II, Fez.

Surgical treatment by percutaneous anterior screw fixation of scaphoid fractures.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of percutaneous screw fixation of scaphoid waist fractures in our surgery unit by comparing them with recent data from the literature. This was a retrospective, descriptive study conducted between January 2010 and September 2016. Patients operated due to a recent scaphoid fracture and treated by percutaneous anterograde screw fixation with a Herbert screw were included in this study.

Simultaneous ipsilateral fractures of distal and proximal ends of the radius.

We treated a patient with a rare combination of ipsilateral fractures of the distal and proximal ends of the radius. A man aged 42 years had simultaneous fractures of the distal and proximal ends of the radius (radial neck) following a roadside accident. The distal end fracture of the radius was treated with surgical reduction and T-plate volar fixation, and the undisplaced radial neck fracture was treated by an above elbow splintage for 2 weeks.

Musculoskeletal Echinococcus infection as a rare first presentation of hydatid disease: case report.

Background: Hydatid disease (HD) is a cosmopolitan parasitosis caused by that can potentially affect any part of the human body. Liver and lungs are the most frequent localizations. Primary musculoskeletal hydatidosis are seldom reported in literature and their incidence is unknown.

[Classic and aggressive Kaposi sarcoma with bone involvement].

Classic Kaposi sarcoma is a multifocal rare tumor originating from vascular endothelial cells with progressive evolution and little malignant predisposition. Although Kaposi sarcoma with extensive visceral involvement is sometimes observed among HIV-positive patients, tumor dissemination to visceral lymph nodes in classic SK remains very rare. We report a rare case of aggressive classic Kaposi sarcoma of the hand with a rapid and destructive development.

Intertrochanteric fracture non-unions with implant failure of the gamma nail.

Failure of internal fixation of intertrochanteric fracture is associated with delayed union or malunion resulting in persistent pain and diminished function. We report a rare case of implant failure of the gamma nail with intertrochanteric fracture non union treated by DCS plate screw and bone graft.

An unusual case of an intramuscular lipoma of the biceps brachii.

Lipomas are common benign neoplasms consisting of mature fatty tissue. They are usually of roundish or ovoid shape and are situated in a single anatomical region. They most frequently occur on the back and in the extremities.

A rare case of unicondylar medial Hoffa fracture associated with ipsilateral vertical patella fracture.

An 18 year old male patient was hit by a car to his motorcycle causing a unicondylar Hoffa fracture and an ipsilateral patella fracture. Hoffa fracture is a rare lesion and this association of injury has not been reported before.

[An unusual location of juxtaosseous ossified lipoma. A case report].

We report a case of juxtaosseous ossified lipoma. Clinical and radiological features make it an exceptional case, because of its location at the hand and presence of cortical erosion of the subjacent bone. However, the histological study of this rare benign tumor showed neither cytonuclear atypia nor increasing number of mitosis.

Isolated radial volar dislocation of the fifth carpometacarpal joint: a rare injury.

Isolated palmar dislocation of the fifth carpometacarpal joint is an uncommon injury and classified as radio-palmar or ulno-palmar according to the direction of displacement of the fifth metacarpal base. This very rare injury is often difficult to recognize. A careful neurologic assessment of the patient is a necessity, as well as obtaining proper radiographs of the hand.

Unusual presentation of isolated metacarpal tuberculosis.

Metacarpal tuberculosis is a rare presentation of the disease; it represents only 1% of all bone sites. The following report documents the case of a 28-year-old female who sought a consultation for a painful right hand following an injury. Radiographs showed a fracture of the distal fifth metacarpal through a lytic lesion.

[Anterior dislocation of the elbow joint without peri-articular fracture in an adult].

In view of the comparative frequency of posterior dislocations of the elbow, it is rather remarkable that anterior dislocations of that joint should be among the rarest of injuries [1]. Our case is one of the first cases of anterior dislocation of the elbow without any periarticular fracture or pre-existing deformities around the elbow [2].

[The intermetacarpal double pinning in the surgical treatment of Bennett fracture (report of 24 cases)].

Objectives: The interest of this work is to show the benefits of surgical treatment of Bennett fractures by intermetacarpal double pinning.

Patients And Methods: It is a retrospective study of 24 cases of Bennett fracture treated by intermetacarpal double pinning, between January 2005 and December 2009. The treatment was surgical for all patients.

[A giant tumor of the thumb revealing bronchic adenocarcinoma (a case report)].

Bone metastases in the hand are rare. The authors report a case of a 46-year-old woman diagnosed with a giant hand tumor, revealing a lung adenocarcinoma. An amputation of the thumb was performed.
