[Isolated osseous tuberculosis : Differential diagnosis of treatment refractory osteomyelitis?].

We report the case of a 66-year-old female patient with a treatment refractory disorder of wound healing of the knee, who had already been treated several times surgically and with antibiotics for several months. The examination revealed a skin defect with a fistula in the region of the knee joint. The X‑ray imaging showed an extensive bony defect of unclear etiology.

- a large-scale dataset of 3D medical shapes for computer vision.

Objectives: The shape is commonly used to describe the objects. State-of-the-art algorithms in medical imaging are predominantly diverging from computer vision, where voxel grids, meshes, point clouds, and implicit surface models are used. This is seen from the growing popularity of ShapeNet (51,300 models) and Princeton ModelNet (127,915 models).

Performance of ICD-10-based injury severity scores in pediatric trauma patients using the ICD-AIS map and survival rate ratios.

Objectives: The performance of injury severity scores (ISSs), used widely to quantify injury severity and predict outcomes, has not been investigated in German pediatric cases. This study aims to identify the most feasible and accurate injury score predictor of mortality in German children with trauma using International Classification of Diseases 10 (ICD-10).

Study Design And Setting: Between 2014 and 2020, a retrospective observational cohort study of hospital admissions cases aged <18 years with injury-related ICD-10 codes, using the German hospital database (GHD), was conducted.

Necrotizing fasciitis that led to unexpected and fulminant deterioration in less than 24 hours: a case report.

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rapidly progressing condition with a high mortality rate. The poor prognosis is often due to delayed diagnosis, which is typically made clinically or radiologically. This case report highlights a rare instance of fulminant NF with an atypical presentation-no initial clinical signs and an unusual radiological appearance.

Joint preservation in revision arthroplasty and intercalary tumour implants using custom stem solutions.

Background: Off-the-shelf stems offer a wide variety of fixation methods for revision arthroplasty and intercalary tumour implants. However, in extensive defects or needed resection with minimal bone stock left, solid fixation is often not feasible with these implants. Custom-made stem solutions (CSS) offer a viable alternative in these cases to achieve joint preservation.
