Bilateral Clavicle Fractures Treated With Screw Intramedullary Flexible Nail.

Clavicle fractures have been known to be common injuries with a reported incidence of 2.4-4% amongst all fractures, however the incidence of bilateral clavicle fractures is rare. A thorough search of all English language journals revealed that bilateral clavicle fractures comprised 0.

Kaplan's Lesion: A Case Report On The Complex Dislocation Of The Index Finger In A Weightlifter.

Complex Dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the hand is a rare and unusual injury. These are also called as Kaplan's Lesion. They are divided into complex/irreducible and simple/reducible dislocation.

Radiologists should use the hip-knee-ankle angle rather than the mechanical axis deviation to describe knee alignment.

Objective: Preoperative and postoperative coronal knee alignment is an important predictor of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) failure. Radiologists often report the mechanical axis deviation (MAD) rather than hip-knee-ankle angle (HKAA) to describe coronal knee alignment. The aim of this study is to evaluate (i) how well the MAD predicts the HKAA; (ii) if patient height and sex affect the performance of the MAD; and (iii) if the MAD could be measured faster than the HKAA.

Segmental Fracture Of The Clavicle - Unconventional Fracture Pattern Of A Conventionally Fractured Bone: A Case Report With Review Of Literature.

Though clavicle fractures are routinely seen in clinical practice, rarely do we encounter segmental fractures. This unusual pattern of fracture in clavicle has been seldom reported previously. We present a case of segmental fracture of the left clavicle fracture in a 64-year-old who was treated successfully.

Giant Cell Tumour Of The Occipital Bone In A 13-Year Old Male.

Giant Cell Tumours (GCT) are usually found at the extremities of the long bones and their presence in the skull being less than 1%. In the skull, sphenoidal bone and temporal bone are the commonest sites. There have been very few reports of GCTs of the occipital bone.

What is diversity?

This article introduces the topic of diversity in this minisymposium by defining the terminology as well as providing descriptions of the positive impact of diversity. We aimed not only to examine the proven effects of diversity, but also to understand the barriers present so we can effectively mitigate these at the individual, institutional and systemic levels.

Anterior Dislocation of the Sternoclavicular Joint - A Case Report.

Dislocation of joints in the human body is a common occurrence, with the upper limb being commonly involved in most dislocations. Despite the common occurrence of upper limb dislocations, sternoclavicular dislocation is rare, comprising just 1% of all dislocations seen. This is attributed to a combination of restricted range of movements and strong ligaments around it.

An Unusual Case Of Ipsilateral Shoulder And Elbow Dislocation.

A 34 years old male, labourer by occupation was brought to our trauma centre in an inebriated state with a history of fall from a height of approximately 10 feet. He complained of pain in the right elbow. A complete examination of the affected upper limb revealed an ipsilateral anterior shoulder dislocation and a posterior elbow dislocation with no other concomitant injuries.

An Uncommon Case of Primary Leptomeningeal Melanoma in a 66-Year-Old White Caucasian Male.

Primary melanocytic tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) arise from leptomeningeal melanocytes and possess a variable degree of aggressiveness. They have been classified into melanomatosis, melanocytoma, malignant melanoma, and diffuse melanocytosis. Melanocytic lesions of the CNS include both benign (leptomeningeal melanocytosis, melanocytoma) and malignant (leptomeningeal melanomatosis, melanoma) pathologies and the extent of anatomical site involvement dictates their clinical features.

An Unusual Case of Giant Cell Tumor of the Distal Tibia.

Introduction: Giant cell tumors are common in proximal tibia and distal end radius and have a low tendency to recur. They have been treated successfully with excision and cementing or sandwich bone grafting without recurrence. Here, we present a rare case of giant cell tumor (GCT) of the distal tibia treated successfully with no recurrence at the end of 2 years.

Double trouble!!! An unusual presentation of cervical cord herniation and medial end clavicle non-union in a single patient.

Non-union of medial end clavicle is rare. Though traditionally they have been treated with conservative methods, surgery at initial presentation should be considered in these patients since conservative treatment can lead to non-union. Herniation of spinal cord, though rare, is seen in the thoracic region but can also occur in the cervical region post-traumatically as seen in our patient.

Ponseti Technique for the Management of Congenital Talipes Equinovarus in a Rural Set-Up in India: Experience of 356 Patients.

Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), also known as clubfoot, is a complex congenital deformity of the foot that, left untreated, can limit a person's mobility by making it difficult and painful to walk. Worldwide, 80% of children born with clubfoot are in low- and middle-income countries. The management of clubfoot has a long history.

Intraosseous ganglion cyst of the distal tibia: a rare entity in a rarer location.

Intraosseous ganglion cysts are rare entities, even rarer in the subchondral region of the distal tibia. A 20-year-old male presented to us with complaints of pain and limp in the right ankle joint, which was diagnosed as an intraosseous ganglion cyst of the right distal tibia and was successfully treated with curettage and bone cement with no recurrence seen even after a year.
