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.

Factors affecting Baker cyst volume, with emphasis on cartilage lesion degree and effusion in the young and middle-aged population.

Background: The principal aim of this study was to investigate the presence of factors affecting Baker's cyst volume in young and middle-aged populations.

Methods: Open cyst excision with valve and capsule repair, as well as knee arthroscopy, were used to treat eighty-five patients. The cases were categorized in terms of age, effusion, chondral lesion degree, meniscal tear degree, and Lindgren scores.

Pediatric Olecranon Fractures Associated With Radial Neck Fractures: Review and Report of Two Cases.

Introduction: The debate regarding the description on classification and nomenclature of the injury which includes olecranon fracture associated with radial neck fractures in children is ongoing. We report two pediatric cases that could not be classified in a Monteggia-equivalents system and were treated with open reduction and k-wire fixation. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review regarding pediatric radial neck fractures associated with olecranon fractures and presentation of two pediatric cases of olecranon fractures associated with radial neck fractures with radiocapitellar dislocation.

Trevor's disease: up-to-date review of the literature with case series.

Trevor's disease, also known as dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica, is a rare nonhereditary skeletal development disorder that affects epiphyses. This type of dysplastic lesion was first reported by Mouchet and Berlot in 1926 under the name 'tarsomegaly'. The main aim of this study is to raise awareness of Trevor's disease among orthopedic surgeons and underline some important aspects of treatment by a detailed presentation of four different possible manifestations of the disease.

Osteochondromas originating from unusual locations complicating orthopedic discipline: case series.

Herein, we report clinical, radiological, and follow-up results of seven cases of extraordinary located osteochondromas and highlight the importance of rare and unusual properties of unusual locations of osteochondromas. Seven patients with extraordinary located osteochondromas were treated in our institution (Antalya Memorial Hospital) between the period of February 2009 and March 2014 were reported. The patients were classified according to the localization, symptomatology, and the presence of neurovascular involvement or organ compression.

Luxatio erecta humeri: Report of a swimming injury with analysis of the mechanism of the injury and associated injuries in literature.

Inferior shoulder dislocation also referred to as luxatio erecta is an unusual and rare type of shoulder dislocation. Its incidence is about 0.5% among all shoulder dislocations.

Degenerative arthritis of pseudoarticulation between the os peroneum and cuboid: a rare cause of lateral foot pain.

The painful os peroneum syndrome is widely recognized. It is often the result of trauma. However degenerative changes between the os peroneum and the articular facet is much rarer and we could only find two other case reports in the literature.

Recurrence of Pelvic Chondrosarcoma through Fascial Defect into Abdominal Cavity.

Our patient was a 76-year-old female who has been operated on 2 times in 8 years for pelvic chondrosarcoma. The patient came to our clinic with a large mass in left iliac region which extended into the paravertebral area. Physical examination and preoperative imagining studies revealed a mass at the left iliac area that infiltrated sciatic notch and extended from posterior iliac region towards the anterior side of iliac bone through the sciatic notch and an incisional hernia including descending colon.

Comment to: Haque S, Khan A, Sharma A, Sundararajan S: Technical tip: tightrope fixation of neer type II distal clavicle fracture supported by a case series. Pol Orthop Traumatol, 2014; 79: 19-22.

Additional suture anchor fixation to coracoclaviculer area with precountered distal clavicle locking plate allows an anatomic reduction with bone-bone contact and gives additional neutralisation effect with coracoclavicular suture anchor fixation against the trapezius muscle pulling effect .Event though the effeciency of this technique reported by other authors,still there is a few articles and cases reported.In the terms of proving the efficiency of the combination technique we would like to stress to contribute the published article by Haque et al.
