Medium-term Outcomes of Excision Using Surgical Microscope of Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumors of the Hand.

Background/aim: The recurrence rate following the excision of tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TSGCT) of the hand is very high. Intraoperative application of a surgical microscope has been reported. However, to date, there are no reports of medium-term outcomes related to this technique.

Common peroneal nerve rupture with multiple ligament knee injury: A case report.

In peroneal nerve palsy with closed knee injury, most of the case improves by follow-up. We present a case of peroneal nerve rupture with closed multiple ligament knee injury, requiring nerve transplantation. In multiple ligament knee injury, it is necessary to consider the possibility of peroneal nerve rupture.

Optimal Center of Rotation for Ball-And-Socket Thumb Carpometacarpal Arthroplasty Identified Using Three-Dimensional Kinematic Analysis: A Pilot Study.

Total joint arthroplasty is one of the surgical option for thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint arthritis, however the optimal position the center of rotation (COR) has not been quantified. The purpose of this study is to identify ideal ball-and-socket thumb carpometacarpal joint implants and the optimal position of the COR. We obtained eight right thumb computed tomography images each from ten healthy men, comprising four images each of thumbs at various angles of flexion-extension and abduction-adduction.

Case Report: Prophylactic Plate Fixation for Incomplete Atypical Ulnar Fractures Resulting From the Use of Denosumab for Bone Metastases.

Patients with bone metastases are treated with long-term bone resorption inhibitors such as bisphosphonates and denosumab. However, resorption inhibitors have been known to cause fractures, such as atypical femoral fractures (AFFs). In recent years, there have been an increasing number of reports of atypical ulna fractures (AUFs) caused by bone resorption inhibitor usage.

Treatment of a sacral fracture associated with an intrasacral meningocele: A case report.

We report a case of sacral fracture complicated by an intrasacral meningocele in a 37-year-old male. The patient had a left sacral fracture with bilateral fractures of the superior and inferior pubic rami. The sacrum was fixed with a posterior plate and both superior pubic rami were fixed with an intramedullary screw.

Age does not affect the clinical and radiological outcomes after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy.

Purpose: Open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) is a well-established procedure in the management of medial compartment osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis of the medial femoral condyle. Several studies have evaluated factors that negatively influence outcomes. However, few reports have investigated the effect of age on HTO outcome.
