A case report of giant malignant schwannoma of the sciatic nerve associated with neurofibromatosis-1: A CARE-compliant article.

Rationale: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous syndrome that causes multiple central and peripheral nerve sheath tumors. People with NF1 have a 10% chance of developing malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). Here we report a unique instance of a malignant schwannoma that has remained free of metastasis since its initial removal a decade ago.

Bilateral locked posterior shoulder dislocation overlooked for 15 months treated with the modified McLaughlin procedure: A case report.

Neglected bilateral posterior shoulder dislocation is a rare injury caused primarily by an epileptic seizure. The injury is usually associated with a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion in the anteromedial aspect of the humeral head. The modified McLaughlin technique may avoid instability and osteoarthritis when 20 to 40% of the articular surface is affected by reverse Hill-Sachs.

Comparison of Isolated Calcaneal Spur Excision and Plantar Fasciotomy in Addition to Spur Excision in Patients With Plantar Heel Pain Accompanied by Calcaneal Spur.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to clinically compare isolated calcaneal spur excision and plantar fascia release in addition to spur excision in patients with plantar heel pain accompanied by a calcaneal spur.

Method: Patients who did not benefit from conservative treatment and underwent surgical excision of the calcaneal spur and/or plantar fasciotomy were retrospectively evaluated. The patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical procedure performed.

Comparison of Clinical and Radiological Results of Lateral Retinacular Release or Lateral Retinacular Lengthening Methods Combined With Medial Retinaculum Plication in Patellofemoral Instability.

Introduction In this study, we aimed to compare the clinical and radiological results of patients who underwent medial retinaculum plication (MRP) combined with lateral retinacular release (LRR) or lateral retinacular lengthening (LRL) with the diagnosis of patellofemoral (PF) instability. Methods In our study, we retrospectively analyzed 75 knees of 75 adult patients (43 females and 32 males) who underwent MRP+LRR or MRP+LRL due to PF instability without osseous pathologies. Patients were divided into two groups (MRP+LRR and MRP+LRL) according to the surgical method.

Outcome of mobile and fixed unicompartmental knee arthroplasty and risk factors for revision.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the outcomes of patients undergoing unilateral knee arthroplasty (UKA) and to analyze risk factors that may lead to revision in patients who undergo UKA.

Methods: We included patients who underwent mobile or fixed UKA owing to osteoarthritis and who had at least 24 months of follow-up in the postoperative period. We recorded information on patient age, sex, side, body mass (kg/m), follow-up duration, Knee Society Score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) pain, WOMAC function, WOMAC stiffness, mechanical axle angle, femoral component compliance, tibial component compliance, accumulated experience of the surgeon, and revision status.
