A Large Posteromedial Parameniscal Cyst Masquerading a Baker's Cyst: An Unusual Presentation.

Introduction: Meniscal cysts are rare and strongly associated with a horizontal meniscal lesion. Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy of the meniscus with intra-articular cyst drainage has become the standard of care for small cyst; however, sometimes large cyst requires open excision.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a large symptomatic medial parameniscal cyst in 52-year-old female which was clinically misdiagnosed as Baker's cyst.

Prospective Randomized Study Comparing the External Fixator and Volar Locking Plate in Intraarticular Distal Radius Fractures: Which Is Better?

Introduction Various treatment options for patients with an intraarticular distal radius fracture are available, but in cases of comminuted fractures, these narrow down to either a volar locking plate, an external fixator, or a combination of these two. We conducted this prospective study to compare the external fixation and internal fixation of intraarticular fractures of the distal radius in terms of clinical/functional outcome and complications and with the available literature. Material and method This prospective randomized study consisted of a total number of 30 patients with intraarticular fractures of the distal end of the radius divided randomly into two groups (A and B), treated by external fixation (Group A) and volar plating (Group B), in a tertiary care institute during the study period.

A Rare Case Report on Xanthogranulomatous Osteomyelitis of Hip Mimicking Tuberculosis and Review of Literature.

Xanthogranulomatous osteomyelitis (XO) is a rare chronic inflammatory process characterized by the presence of a large number of lipid-containing macrophages with lymphocytes and plasma cells. We present a case of XO of the hip in a 50-year-old woman with pain in the left hip for 28 months. The patient had a history of taking anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy for five months.
