Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour presenting as pathological fracture of proximal femur in neurofibromatosis type-1: a case report with brief literature search.

Neurofibromas, in association with NF-1, can undergo a malignant transformation, giving rise to Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNSTs), a relatively rare entity. Clinically, it presents with non-specific symptoms like pain and numbness, distinguishing it from other nerve lesions difficult. There is a lack of data on the occurrence of MPNST in NF-1 in children and adults, and distant metastasis to the brain and bones is reported only in a few cases.

Management of post-traumatic ankle deformities in children.

The objective of this clinical appraisal was to assess the clinical-radiological results of ankle deformity correction secondary to physeal injury, utilizing the methods based on the age of the child, site & severity of the deformity, remaining growth potential, condition of the soft tissue envelop and integrity of neurovascular status. Fifteen subjects ≤ 16 years of age, with angular deformities of the ankle secondary to physeal injury, were included. Deformities secondary to infection and pathological fractures were excluded.

Rare Case of Bizarre Parosteal Osteochondromatous Proliferation of Foot.

Introduction: Nora's lesion or bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP) is a rare, benign lesion of small bones of hands and feet in adults. It composed of differing amounts of cartilage, bone, and spindle cells and an unusual form of calcified cartilage so-called "blue bone".

Case Report: A 23-year-old male presented with swelling at the lateral side of the fifth toe of his right foot, which was separated from the adjacent toe.

Augmentation of elastic stable intramedullary nail with external fixator in the management of comminuted shaft femur fracture in adolescents.

Background: The management of adolescent femur fractures continues to evolve and remains controversial. Currently, operative fixation methods are favoured, offering options such as external fixator, flexible and locked intramedullary nailing, compression and locked plating. Our study aims to introduce a novel approach for treating adolescent femoral shaft fractures by combining an external fixator with an elastic stable intramedullary nail.

Medial swivel dislocation of talonavicular joint: a case report and literature review.

Midtarsal dislocations of the foot are rare injuries. Most descriptions of these injuries state that they develop due to high-energy trauma. We present a case of low-energy trauma leading to a medial swivel dislocation of the talonavicular joint, which was reduced by a closed method and immobilized in a cast.
