Failed medial buttress plating of a femoral neck fracture salvaged with a Pauwels osteotomy: Case report and review of literature.

Two young patients with a Pauwels type 3 femoral neck fracture were treated with cannulated screws and the addition of an anteromedial buttress plate on the femoral neck. Both developed a non-union necessitating a salvage procedure. A Pauwels' osteotomy led to uneventful and complete healing in both patients.

The influence of pain catastrophizing and central sensitization on the reported pain after hip arthroscopy.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate whether the pain catastrophizing scale (PCS) and the central sensitization inventory (CSI) are predictive factors for the reported pain after hip arthroscopy.

Methods: A total of 37 patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and labral tears were prospectively enrolled. All patients completed the PCS and CSI before hip arthroscopy.

Capsular closure versus unrepaired interportal capsulotomy after hip arthroscopy in patients with femoroacetabular impingement: results of a patient-blinded randomised controlled trial.

Background: Hip capsular management after hip arthroscopy remains a topic of debate. Most available current literature is of poor quality and are retrospective or cohort studies. As of today, no clear consensus exists on capsular management after hip arthroscopy.

Plethora of Traumatic Lesions of Bilateral Knee Extensor Mechanism in Osteogenesis Imperfecta.

Introduction: Injuries to the quadriceps extensor mechanism are rare in patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). To the best of our knowledge, non-union of the patella in OI, either as an isolated problem or in combination with an acute fracture, has not been previously reported.

Case Report: We describe how we surgically approached both the fracture and the non-union simultaneously.

Recalcitrant Septic Nonunion of the Ulna.

An infected diaphyseal forearm nonunion can be a challenge. After several failed salvage procedures, the patient can be left with residual pain, shortening, bone loss, and poor soft tissue envelope. Keystones for infected nonunion treatment are debridement, cultures, antibiotics, stability, and restore alignment.

A Missense Mutation in RAB28 in a Family with Cone-Rod Dystrophy and Postaxial Polydactyly Prevents Localization of RAB28 to the Primary Cilium.

Purpose: Cone-rod dystrophy (CRD) is a rare hereditary eye disorder that causes progressive degeneration of cone and rod photoreceptors. More than 30 genes, including RAB28, have been associated with CRD; however, only a few RAB28 variants have been reported to be associated with CRD. In this study, we describe two brothers with CRD and a homozygous missense variant, c.

Molecular genetic analysis using targeted NGS analysis of 677 individuals with retinal dystrophy.

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a common cause of visual impairment. IRD covers a set of genetically highly heterogeneous disorders with more than 150 genes associated with one or more clinical forms of IRD. Molecular genetic diagnosis has become increasingly important especially due to expanding number of gene therapy strategies under development.

Impingement around the hip: beyond cam and pincer.

In this review, we bring to the attention of the reader three relatively unknown types of hip impingement. We explain the concept of low anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) impingement, also known as sub-spine impingement, ischio-femoral impingement (IFI) and pelvi-trochanteric impingement. For each type of impingement, we performed a search of relevant literature.

Posterior Ankle Impingement in Two Athletic Twin Brothers, Could Genetics Play a Role?

Pain posteriorly in the ankle can be caused by bony impingement of the posterolateral process of the talus. This process impinges between the tibia and calcaneus during deep forced plantar flexion. If this occurs it is called posterior ankle impingement syndrome.

Clinical and genetic characterization of a Danish family with North Carolina macular dystrophy.

Purpose: To describe the phenotype of a family with an autosomal dominant macular dystrophy and identify the chromosomal location of the gene that causes this phenotype.

Methods: Twelve members of a three-generation family underwent routine clinical examination, including fundus photography. Four of the patients underwent extended examination with Goldmann perimetry, full-field electroretinogram, dark adaptation, and color vision testing, and two patients underwent optical coherence tomography and fundus autofluorescence examination.
