An unusual osteomyelitis caused by Moraxella osloensis: A case report.

Introduction: Moraxella osloensis is a gram-negative coccobacillus, that is saprophytic on skin and mucosa, and rarely causing human infections. Reported cases of human infections usually occur in immunocompromised patients.

Presentation Of Case: We report the second case of M.

Axillary artery compromise in a minimally displaced proximal humerus fracture: a case report.

Minimally displaced fractures of the surgical neck of the humerus are rarely associated with axillary artery injury. The innocuous appearance of the x-rays can be misleading and a missed arterial injury in these fractures could potentially lead to disastrous consequences. We report the case of a patient who sustained a minimally displaced fracture of the proximal humerus with vascular compromise requiring immediate investigation and referral to vascular surgeons.

Superior dislocation of the patella. Case report and review of literature.

Superior dislocation of the patella is a rare diagnosis, which usually occurs after a trivial trauma. It usually requires manipulation with analgesics or may even need anaesthesia. We report a case of spontaneous reduction of the dislocation, which lead us to believe that this may be more common in the community than has been reported.

A prospective randomized comparison of the Zadik procedure and chemical ablation in the treatment of ingrown toenails.

Background: We present the results of a prospective randomized trial of the Zadik procedure versus chemical ablation by sodium hydroxide for the treatment of ingrowing toenails.

Methods: Thirty-eight patients had the Zadik procedure, and 45 patients had chemical ablation by sodium hydroxide. Mean followup was 12.
