Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) can present in different ways and should be regarded as one of the possible diagnoses of several bony, cutaneous, and neurological pathologies.
Case Report: We present a case report of a 13-year-old female, who presented with swelling of the left index finger, then diagnosed to have Pulmonary and extra-pulmonary TB (Spina Ventosa, Lichen scrofulosorum, cervical lymphadenitis, mediastinal lymphadenopathy, and a frontal lobe Tuberculoma). We further discuss its features and management.
Introduction: The present study was done to assess the functional outcome and complications of interlocking intramedullary (IM) radius ulna nailing to treat radio-ulna fractures in adults.
Methodology: Thirty adult patients with diaphyseal or segmental fractures of radius and ulna were included and treated with IM nailing. Grace and Eversmann rating system was used to assess functional evaluation and grip strength was measured using grasp dynamometer.
Background: Vitamin D deficiency is now recognized as an independent risk factor and is involved in the pathogenesis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on functional and symptomatic outcomes in CTS patients with vitamin D deficiency.
Methods: This was a prospective, single-arm study with a pretreatment or posttreatment quasi-experimental design.

We present a case of ipsilateral shoulder and thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint neuropathic arthropathy secondary to cervical syringomyelia. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the literature of this rare association.
