Injection, hematoma, abscess, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, stairway to hell: Case report.

Rationale: Intramuscular injections are routine outpatient procedure performed at healthcare institutions worldwide. In the current literature, there have been very few reports of gluteal superior artery injuries due to incorrect injection techniques. However, no one has ever reported a healthy middle-aged man with systemic inflammatory response syndrome with possible injection-related bleeding from the gluteus superior artery, followed by a hematoma, and then a deep abscess after 3 weeks of not receiving treatment.

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.

Histological and Biomechanical Effects of Local Anesthetics and Steroids on Achilles Tendon: A Study in Rats.

Background: Peritendinous injection of local anesthetics, alone or in combination with corticosteroids, is widely used in the treatment of tendinopathies. Toxicity of local anesthetics has been demonstrated in many cells, including myocytes, chondrocytes, and neurons. Bupivacaine and lidocaine are known to have time- and dose-dependent cytotoxicity in these cells.

Localized Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis of the Knee Joint: A Case Report.

Background: The localized form is characterized by local participation of the synovium as a nodule or pedunculated mass. The incidence rate of PVNS is estimated to be 1.8 per million people - the localized type is just one-quarter of that.

Midterm clinical outcomes of collateral ligament repair of the thumb and lesser digits: a retrospective analysis of 35 cases.

Background: Finger collateral ligament injuries are common, and conservative treatment usually works well. However, complete ruptures that lead to instability could cause painful disability. This study presents our clinical experience and a qualitative functional evaluation following the surgical repair of the thumb and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint collateral ligament ruptures.

Objectives: This study aims to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of simple in-situ decompression and partial medial epicondylectomy for the treatment of idiopathic cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS).

Patients And Methods: Between March 2014 and December 2016, 71 patients (31 males, 40 females; mean age 46.7 years; range, 38 to 62 years) with CuTS scheduled to undergo simple in-situ decompression (group 1) or partial medial epicondylectomy (group 2) were prospectively reviewed.

The Ellis Jones Method of Treating Chronic Peroneal Subluxation: Revisited and Colorized After 87 Years.

Chronic cases of peroneal subluxation typically call for surgical treatment; however, research on current surgical procedures suggests nonuniformity. The purpose of this study is to remind surgeons of the efficacy of an older surgical method by using the case of a selected patient. In this study, the Ellis Jones procedure was performed on a patient who had been suffering from a chronic peroneal subluxation for 22 years, since, in this particular case, other approaches were deemed likely to be unsuccessful.

Comparison of Single-Dose Infraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block and Continuous Infraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block Applications in the Treatment of Finger Amputations.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the replantation success of single-dose infraclavicular brachial plexus block and continuous infraclavicular brachial plexus block (CIBPB) applied with bupivacaine and prilocaine in patients with finger amputation. This prospective randomized nonblinded study was conducted between January 2012 and September 2017, and 47 patients, all male, were included. Patients were randomly separated into two groups as 23 patients CIBPB applied group (group A) and 24 patients single-dose infraclavicular block applied group (group B).

Effect of pentoxifylline on healing of segmental bone defects and angiogenesis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of pentoxifylline (PTX) on angiogenesis and the healing of a critical-sized segmental defect of the radius diaphysis in a rat model, using radiological and histological grading systems.

Methods: The study included 24 female Sprague-Dawley rats (weight: 300±20 g) divided into 4 groups. A critical-sized segmental defect was created in the radius diaphysis in all rats.

The Relationship Between Osteoarthritis of the Lumbar Facet Joints and Lumbosacropelvic Morphology.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.

Objective: To investigate the relation between lumbosacropelvic morphology and the presence and degree of facet joint degeneration.

Summary Of Background Data: Osteoarthritis of the facet joints is one of the most common degenerative changes in the spine.

Hypothenar hammer syndrome: a case series and literature review.

Objectives: This study aims to report our experience regarding patients who were surgically treated due to hypothenar hammer syndrome and review the related literature.

Patients And Methods: The study included 11 hands of eight patients (5 males, 3 females; mean age 48 years; range 29 to 60 years) who underwent surgery due to hypothenar hammer syndrome between September 2004 and March 2013. Mean follow-up period was 50 months (range 3-103 months).

Effects of intraperitoneally administered folic acid on the healing of repaired tibial nerves in rats.

Background: Complete nerve regeneration and clinical healing remain a challenge despite considerable advances in the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries. To improve nerve regeneration, several experimental molecular procedures have been attempted. This study aimed to investigate the effects of folic acid on peripheral nerve healing after transection and end-to-end suture repair of the tibial nerve in rats.

Descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery as a recipient vessel for vascularized fibular grafts: Clinical case series.

Vascularized fibular grafts (VFG) are used for the treatment of femoral head avascular necrosis, osteomyelitis, nonunions, and excessive bone defects. Mostly the ascending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) or first or second perforating branch of the profound femoral artery is used for the customary recipient vessel. In this report, an alternative technique of using descending branch of LCFA in VFG surgery and its clinical results are reported.
