Introduction And Importance: Ipsilateral proximal and distal radius fractures without elbow dislocation are extremely rare injuries and a few cases have been reported. Currently, there is no well-established consensus regarding their optimal management.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 57-year-old woman who had a right bipolar radius fracture after falling from a standing height.
Introduction Tuberculosis of the soft tissues is a rare form of extra pulmonary tuberculosis, and isolated localization in the popliteal fossa is particularly exceptional. Atypical clinical presentation can lead to delayed diagnosis and serious complications. Case report We report the case of a 17-year-old patient who was diagnosed with tuberculosis of the popliteal fossa.

In most of the cases, medullary lumbar (instead of medullary) MRI is required looking in the first place at an intervertebral disc herniation.

The reduction of this dislocation by lateral soft tissue release (LSTR) is one of the objectives of surgery.
Aim: To study the relationship between postoperative position of sesamoid and clinical outcome at one-year postoperative follow-up.
Traumatic dislocation of the atlanto-axial joint in combination with an odontoid fracture remains a rare entity. Beaucause of its instability, it's alsoo a seriuous injury. A fatal outcome is feared especially in elderly.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOsteochondroma is a developmental lesion rather than a true neoplasm. Osteochondromas are composed of cortical and medullary bone with an overlying hyaline cartilage cap and must demonstrate continuity with the underlying parent bone cortex and medullary canal. Osteochondromas may be solitary or multiple.

We presented a case of tuberculous abscess of longissimus muscle in a young immunocompetent female. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a well-circumscribed lesion in the longissimus muscle.

They occur mainly in elderly women and are usually asymptomatic. We present four cases of elastofibroma dorsi in which the clinical and ultrasound diagnosis was confirmed by CT and magnetic resonance imaging.

Pycnodysostosis is a rare hereditary disease, characterized by systemic bone sclerosis. Susceptibility to long bone fractures is characteristic, whereas vertebral fractures are extremely rare. We report a case of a 21-year-old man with a past history of pycnodysostosis and spontaneous leg fractures who was admitted in hospital for a neck pain after a banal fall.

Various members of the Wnt pathway, especially the canonical Wnt/β-catenin cascade, may contribute to autonomous RA FLS activation. It has been shown that the two Wnt inhibitors: sFRP3 and DKK1 contribute to several critical aspects of joint biology.

Aim: To report a case of bilateral stress fracture of the femoral neck in a 15-year-old girl without any risk factors
Observation: We report a case of bilateral stress fracture of the femoral neck in a 15-year-old girl in whom no risk factors were found.
