Delayed Spontaneous Fracture of the Proximal Tibia after Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy for Treatment of Patella Instability: A Case Report.

Introduction: Tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) is a surgical procedure commonly used. Several local postoperative complications have been identified in the literature, such as early proximal tibial fractures. In exceptional cases, these fractures can occur later in the postoperative period, i.

Localized hypertrophy of the semimembranosus muscle in a young athlete: a case report.

Popliteal fossa and distal thigh swellings have many causes in young active adult. Cysts are the main cause, but they may also evolve from fatty tissue, lymph nodes or the popliteal artery. Semimembranosus muscle hypertrophy, found in athletes and young active adults, is only rarely the main or only cause of swelling, and only four such cases are reported in the literature.

[An unusual intratarsal dislocation: cuneonavicular and calcaneocuboid dislocation].

We report a case of tarsal dislocation with cuneonavicular dislocation associated with calcaneocuboidal dislocation. This dislocation is rare and severe because it causes disruption of both the medial and lateral columns of the foot. Early and prompt reduction of this rare injury was successful in this case and appears important.

Peroneus quartus muscle: a case report and review of the literature.

The peroneus quartus is a supernumerary muscle of the lateral compartment of the lower leg. There are several variations of this accessory muscle, and its terminology is very confusing. The peroneus quartus is found with a frequency varying from 10 to 21.

[A case of isolated avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament in a child].

Purpose Of The Study: The authors report one case of isolated avulsion fracture of the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament. They recommend the use of 3D CT Scan to appreciate the size, the displacement of the bone fragment or the occurrence of comminuted fracture.

Material And Method: A 12 years old girl was admitted for knee pain and swelling secondary to horse's hoof blow on the anterior aspect of the proximal tibia.

[Pathologic fracture of the tibia associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease].

The authors report a case of pathologic fracture of the distal tibia associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Pathologic fracture was visible four weeks after initial pain. Treatment consisted in a short leg walking cast for six weeks.

[Peripheral thrombopenic purpura associated with acquired toxoplasmosis].

Acquired Toxoplasma Gondii infection has a benign course in adults and children immunologically competent. Thrombocytopenia is much more common during congenital toxoplasma infection and the rare cases of purpura associated with acquired toxoplasmosis are usually not thrombocytopenic. We report a case of thrombocytopenic purpura in an immunocompetent child, associated with active acquired toxoplasmosis.

[Tennis elbow: surgical findings in 17 cases and etiopathogenetic hypothesis].

Lateral epicondylitis is the most common source of elbow pain. Surgical treatment is easy but precise etiology remains uncertain. We reviewed 17 medical files of surgically treated lateral epicondylitis.

[Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis. Diagnostic elements and therapeutic approach].

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is an uncommon condition characterised by multiple gas-filled cysts within the small intestine or colonic wall. Clinical manifestations are unspecific and often found in many other abdominal diseases. To avoid unnecessary laparotomy, radiologic and endoscopic findings are essential to be known.

[Spontaneous dissection of the internal carotid artery: apropos of a case].

Dissections of the extracranial internal carotid artery are probably underestimated in the general population. They are often unrecognized and asymptomatic as shown in this case report and are only the cause of 1 to 4% of cerebral ischaemic accidents. However, they are responsible for 5 to 20% of such accidents in adults younger than 30 years of age.

[Cervico-facial non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Apropos of a case of orbital localization].

The orbital localization of the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is not the more common site of presentation. The most classical sites in the head and neck are the cervical lymph nodes and Waldeyer's ring. The treatment is depending on the Staging and includes radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery or a combination of these modalities.
