Joint Preserving Limb Salvage Secondary to Septic Nonunion Following Placement of a Fibular Intramedullary Nail: A Case Report.

Several challenges exist for the foot and ankle surgeon when addressing the complications associated with ankle fracture repair. The risk of joint destruction, debilitation, and even limb loss may be amplified by the noncompliant patient. There is an abundance of literature documenting the management of fracture nonunions in the setting of infection with a variety of techniques proven successful in managing large osseous defects and eradicating infection.

Pharmacokinetics of convalescent plasma therapy in a COVID-19 patient with X-linked Agammaglobulinemia.

Convalescent plasma (CP) has been the first line of defense against numerous infectious diseases throughout history. The COVID-19 pandemic created a need for a quick, easily accessible, and effective treatment for severe disease and CP was able to meet that immediate need. The utility of CP warrants a better understanding of the pharmacokinetics of CP treatment.

Cancelloplasty for Treatment of Osteomyelitis of the Calcaneus: A Novel Technique and Case Report.

Calcaneal osteomyelitis has the potential to cause limb- and life-threatening complications. The anatomic and biomechanical attributes of the heel make limb salvage in the setting of bone infection complex. Current treatment options include surgical resection of part or all of the calcaneus, lower extremity amputation, or prolonged intravenous antibiotic usage.

Management of Distal Fibular Fractures With Minimally Invasive Technique: A Systematic Review.

Ankle fractures are extremely common, with isolated distal fibular fractures being the most common variant. The current gold standard in treating unstable distal fibular fractures is open reduction internal fixation. However, with potential risk of wound complications, minimally invasive techniques have been introduced.

Necrotizing Granulomatous Dacryoadenitis With Non-Necrotizing Granulomatous Scar Hypertrophy: Two Histological Variants of Sarcoidosis in the Same Patient.

Orbital involvement with histologic necrosis is a rare manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis. The authors present a case of necrotizing dacryoadenitis in addition to non-necrotizing granulomas in a hypertrophic scar that is consistent with a diagnosis of sarcoidosis. A 60-year-old female presented with 2 months of painless right upper eyelid fullness and ptosis.
