Pathological Subtrochanteric Femoral Fracture Due to Extensive Arterio-venous Malformation. A Case Study.

Despite the case of a 19-year-old male with a pathological subtrochanteric left femoral fracture in the course of an extensive arteriovenous malformation of the left thigh. The arteriovenous malformation was diagnosed when the patient was 16 years old. He has undergone several embolization procedures.

Anterior interosseous nerve palsy after supracondylar fracture of humerus in adult. Case report.

We present a case of anterior interosseous nerve palsy after a supracondylar fracture of the humerus in a 24-year-old woman. The patient was diagnosed and treated in two hospitals where the impairment of function of the hand indicating nerve damage was not noticed during a standard examination. An open reduction of the fracture with internal fixation using LCP plates and additional screws was performed, ultimately producing a good therapeutic outcome.

Comparison of knee function in patients with a healed fracture of the femoral shaft fixed with retrograde and antegrade intramedullary nailing.

BACKGROUND. Despite extensive current knowledge about fractures of the femoral shaft, the choice between antegrade and retrograde intramedullary (IM) nailing with respect to the future function of the joint serving to introduce the nail continues to raise controversy. To compare knee function in patients with a healed fracture of the femoral shaft fixed by antegrade vs.

[Spontaneous patellar tendon rupture as a result of morbid obesity].

We present the case of spontaneous damage to the patellar tendon in a patient with pathologic obesity (BMI = 41), without comorbid conditions. Damage occurred during normal load combined with the movement of the knee extension when inserting a foot in flip-flops. Surgical treatment was performed in a matter of urgency and the patellar tendon was sutured in half the length of.

Salmonella enteritidis infection of the musculoskeletal system - case report.

This article presents diagnostic and therapeutic problems in 2 patients with blood-borne infection of the coxofemoral joint and the humeral diaphysis caused by Salmonella enteritidis (S. enteritidis). These patients accounted for 4.

Fatigue fracture of the femur after navigated total knee replacement.

We present a case of fatigue fracture of the femur after navigated total knee arthroplasty with the Orthopilot system. A 60-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis (T-score = -3.1) reported increasing pain of the thigh 8 weeks after the surgery.

Diagnostic difficulties in pigmented villonodular synovitis. Presentation of cases.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a rare entity. There are limited and diffuse, intra- and extraarticular forms. In the literature, this condition has been called xanthoma, xanthogranuloma, villous arthritis, pigmented villonodular synovitis, xanthomatous giant cell tumour, giant cell tumour of tendon sheath, giant cell fibrohemangioma, benign synovioma.

Primary osseous rhabdomyosarcoma with focal matrix formation mimicking osteosarcoma.

We present an unusual case of primary osseous pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma with focal matrix formation mimicking osteosarcoma. The patient was a 21-year-old man who had suffered from pain and slight enlargement of his left calf for 2 months. A plain radiograph demonstrated a large, predominantly osteolytic mass in the region of the proximal fibula with features typical of malignant primary bone tumor.

[Serum bone markers in patients with loosening of cemented total hip endoprosthesis].

Serum levels of bone markers N-mid osteocalcin (OCN-Mid) and Cross-Laps in 20 patients (8 men and 12 women) with loosening of at least one element of total hip endoprosthesis confirmed during operation were compared with age and sex matched group with OA. Marker levels were measured by direct chemoluminescency using Modular E-170. Statistical analysis were done with t-Student test (alpha = 0.

[Evaluation of bone metabolism in patients after total hip replacement based on bone turnover markers].

Serum bone markers: N-mid osteocalcin (OCN-Mid) and Cross-Laps were evaluated in 51 patients (15 men and 36 women), age 50-81y. (mean 69) with OA undergoing elective cemented THR. Samples were collected at the day before operation and 3 days, 1, 2, 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12 months after the operation and markers measured by direct chemoluminescency using Modular E-170.

[The results of treatment of hallux valgus with subcapital osteotomy of the first metatarsal bone].

This paper presents results of wedge subcapital osteotomy of the first metatarsal bone with lateral and plantar translation of the distal fragment in 47 feet (44 women age 37-72) operated for hallux valgus deformity. Bone fragments were stabilized with Kirschner wire introduced obliquely from lateral side of the head to the shaft. Protruding out of the skin part of the wire between I and II toe was shaped parallel to the lateral side of hallux preventing from valgisation.

[Treatment of periprosthetic fractures of the distal femur with the LISS system].

Authors present two cases of periprosthetic fractures of the distal femur. Both patients were female, 77 and 78 years old, formerly treated with total knee replacement. After stabilization of the fractures with the LISS system very good functional results and union were achieved in four months.

[Treatment results of aseptic non-unions of long bones with medullary canal reaming followed by intramedullary nailing].

This paper presents results of treatment of 46 consecutive patients with pseudoarthroses of the long bones treated with closed intramedullary reaming followed by intramedullary nailing. There were 22 nonunions of the tibia, 15 of the femur, 3 of the humerus and 6 of the forearm. The union occurred in 40 cases, among them in 3 of 4 treated atrophic, that gives 87% success.
