Unusual Occurrence of Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor in Hoffa's Fat Pad: A Potential Differential Diagnosis for Nontraumatic Knee Swelling and Pain.

A tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a benign lesion whose presence in Hoffa's pad has rarely been reported. This unique case report discusses a 33-year-old female patient who presented with swelling and pain in her left knee. Clinical and MRI findings were used to make the diagnosis, which was confirmed on a histopathological basis.

Ganglion cysts around knee joint are uncommon and that from Hoffa's fat pad are even rarer. We present a case of 30 year old male patient with complaint of pain and swelling in left knee joint. Radiograph did not show any bony abnormality.

Efficacy of alternate day Directly Observed Treatment Short-course (DOTS) in skeletal tuberculosis - A retrospective study.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of alternate day (thrice a week) Directly Observed Treatment Short-course (DOTS) regimen spanning six to nine months in providing sustained cure for skeletal tuberculosis (TB) under programmatic conditions.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: An urban district tuberculosis centre in India under the Revised National Tuberculosis Programme.

Epidemiological features of skeletal tuberculosis at an urban district tuberculosis centre.

Skeletal tuberculosis is an important component of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. It can lead to substantial morbidity and poses serious occupational and economic problem. We conducted a study in an urban District Tuberculosis Centre (DTC) to assess the burden and distribution of skeletal tuberculosis in the community.

A rare complication of a metacarpophalangeal joint replacement in a rheumatoid hand: a case report.

Metacarpophalangeal joint replacement is one of the most common surgery performed for rheumatoid hand deformities. The systemic and progressive nature of rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory arthritis make isolated assessment and treatment of metacarpophalangeal joint joints challenging.Extensive joint involvement and systemic nature of the illness has an impact in the prognosis of the illness.

Exercise induced chronic compartment syndrome of the first dorsal interosseous compartment of the hand: a case report.

Exercise-induced chronic compartment syndrome in the first dorsal compartment is an uncommon entity and relatively rare condition which is not very well understood. It is a usually activity-related condition and is associated with decreased function of muscle with intracompartmental swelling. We present a case with proven exercise-induced raised compartment pressure that responded well to surgical fasciotomy.

Successful closed manipulation of a pure lateral traumatic dislocation of the elbow joint using a modified Stimson's technique: a case report.

Introduction: Pure lateral elbow dislocation is rare, and a successful closed reduction is even rarer. Reduction can be hindered by swelling, soft tissue interposition or associated fractures.

Case Presentation: We present a pure lateral traumatic dislocation of the elbow joint in a 40-year-old man.
