Background: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a catastrophic complication that can occur following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Currently, the treatment for PJI mainly includes the use of antibiotics alone, prosthetic debridement lavage, primary revision, secondary revision, joint fusion, amputation,
Aim: To explore the clinical effect of two-stage revision surgery for the treatment of PJI after TKA.
Methods: The clinical data of 27 patients (3 males and 24 females; age range, 47-80 years; mean age, 66.
Article Synopsis
- Fibrous hamartoma of infancy (FHI) is a rare soft tissue disease in infants with no clear cause or specific symptoms, making it hard to diagnose; it's primarily confirmed through histopathological examination and treated with surgical removal of the affected tissue.
- A case involving a five-month-old girl with a swelling in her calf led to two biopsies confirming FHI, followed by surgical resection, but the tumor recurred after four months, prompting a second surgery to widen the excision margins.
- The case suggests that FHI should be considered for lower leg masses causing bone damage and that wider excision margins (1.5 cm) may be more effective in preventing recurrence compared to narrower margins (1 cm).
