Arthroscopic debridement and antibiotic-loaded cement for treatment of chronic infected tibial tunnel post-ACL reconstruction: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Chronic extra-articular infections of the tibial tunnel are rare, and there are only a few cases reported in the literature, so the diagnosis and management of these infections are still unclear.

Case Presentation: We report a 36-year-old patient with chronic infection of the tibial tunnel after ACL reconstruction surgery. The patient was treated with arthroscopic debridement of the tibial tunnel and antibiotic cement filling.

Iatrogenic femoral artery injury due to cerclage wiring for diaphyseal femoral fracture: A case report and review the literature.

Introduction And Importance: During femoral fracture osteosynthesis, the superficial femoral artery can be incarcerated in the cerclage wiring. We report a case that had an iatrogenic superficial femoral artery injury due to cerclage wiring during femoral osteosynthesis.

Case Presentation: I reported a 57-year-old patient presented with a fracture at the distal third of the left femur.

Comparing the mechanical characteristics between leg lengthening using only an Ilizarov external fixator and leg lengthening over a nail using an external fixator manufactured in Vietnam.

Purpose: The mechanical characteristics of leg lengthening over a nail (LON) using an external fixator are not well known; specifically, the number of rings and K-wires required for this method has not been determined. This study aimed to compare the mechanical characteristics of leg LON using the simplest configuration for a domestic frame and those of leg lengthening using the Ilizarov frame alone.

Methods: The mechanical characteristics of cow tibial samples for lengthening over an intramedullary nail in combination with a domestic external fixator (LON samples) and for lengthening with the Ilizarov frame (Ilizarov samples) were evaluated by assessing axial compression, bending load, and torsional load.

Treatment of 18 cm lower limb length discrepancy using lengthening over nail technique in tibia and lengthening and plating in femur - A case report.

Introduction And Importance: The management of extreme limb-length discrepancy remains a challenge for surgeons. Limb lengthening using an external fixator is a popular method for managing limb-length discrepancy; however, it had many complications. Other techniques using external fixators have been described, such as lengthening over a nail (LON) technique and lengthening and then plating (LATP), which decrease external fixator duration, equinus contracture, pin-site infection, bone alignment, and bone fracture.

Treatment of recurrent infection at the tibial bone tunnel after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a medial gastrocnemius muscle flap - A case report.

Introduction And Importance: The incidence of postoperative infection after ACL reconstruction is reported to be 0.3 to 1.7%.

Fabella syndrome in a professional football player: A case report and literature review.

Introduction And Importance: Fabella syndrome is a rare cause of posterolateral knee pain. The definitive diagnosis and management of this syndrome remain unclear.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a 19-year-old patient who is a Vietnamese professional football player.

The modified mini-open technique for repairing total ruptured Achilles tendon using fiber wire with calcaneal fixation. A prospective case series.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes and complications of our modified Maffuli's mini-open technique for repairing acute Achilles tendon rupture using fiber wire and calcaneal fixation.

Material And Methods: Between January 2017 and August 2020, 21 patients with acute rupture of the Achilles tendon who underwent the modified mini-open Maffulli's procedure have been enrolled in the study.

Result: All surgical incisions healed well without scar adhesions or infections.

Functional outcomes and complications of tibial lengthening using unilateral external fixation and then plating. A prospective case series.

Introduction: and Importance: The purpose of this study was to assess the functional outcomes and complications of tibial lengthening using unilateral external fixation and then plating.

Material And Methods: This was a prospective case series study that enrolled people of short stature or leg length discrepancy of more than 3 cm from January 2019 to January 2021. A total of 11 patients (one male and 10 females) were recruited for the study, including seven short statures and four patients with leg length discrepancies.

Fibula lengthening then centralization for the treatment of pseudoarthrosis at the middle third of tibia with large leg-length discrepancy - A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Tibial dysplastic pseudoarthrosis associated with large leg-length discrepancy and extensive scarring was a great challenge for orthopedic surgeons. The treatment for these lesions was not defined.

Case Presentation: We report a 24-year-old case of dysplastic pseudoarthrosis at the middle third of the right tibia with a 10 cm leg-length discrepancy and a 25 medial deviation and 20 internal torsion due to osteomyelitis 14 years previously.

Results and complications of minimally invasive medial plate osteosynthesis for distal metaphyseal tibial fractures: A prospective case series from Vietnam.

Introduction And Importance: The treatment of a fractures in tibial distal metaphyseal remained controversial. The purpose of this study was to assess the results and complications of minimally invasive medial plate osteosynthesis for distal metaphyseal tibial fractures.

Material And Method: From April 2014 to December 2019, 70 patients were enrolled in the study who were underwent MIPPO for metaphyseal tibial fractures using a medial distal tibial locking plate in our hospital.

Tendon transfer for dysfunction of all tendons in leg excepting Achilles tendon and plantaris tendon following irreparable sciatic nerve palsy - A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Irreparable sciatic nerve palsy is a cause of foot drop and resulting in absent or weak most of the muscles in leg. There may be dysfunctions of all tendons in the leg excepting Achilles tendon and plantaris tendon. The treatment of this atypical neurologic injury has not been defined.

The pathology femoral peritrochanteric fracture with multiple brown tumor as a first sign of parathyroid cancer - A case report.

Introduction And Importance: The parathyroid cancer is sometime only diagnosed after a pathological fracture has occurred, and pathology fracture is often misdiagnosed as a malignancy tumor. The treatment for pathology fracture and multiple bone lesions is not defined.

Case Presentation: We report a 41-year-old case of parathyroid carcinoma in which pathological femoral fracture and brown tumors are the first clinical signs of the disease and that masqueraded as a malignancy tumor.
