Brodie's abscess following percutaneous fixation of distal radius fracture in a child.

We report the case of a Brodie's abscess presenting five and a half years following closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of a distal radius fracture. The index surgery was complicated by a pin site infection that was treated successfully with antibiotics. The patient represented with forearm pain years later, and radiological investigations revealed a Brodie's abscess in the distal radius at the site of the previous Kirschner wires.

A conservative approach to quadricepsplasty: description of a modified surgical technique and a report of three cases.

Various techniques have been described for the treatment of soft tissue extension contracture of the knee. Some involve large exposures, and others can result in a permanent extensor lag. We describe a technique with limited exposure, avoiding transverse incisions in the rectus femoris.

Delayed surgical intervention for a severe fixed flexion deformity of the knee following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

We report a case of severe fixed flexion deformity of the knee, following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, due to protrusion of the bone block and fixation screw into the knee joint above the tibial tunnel. This was treated successfully after a latent period of 6 years with surgical intervention. This case highlights the importance of critical review of radiographic imaging when faced with a fixed flexion deformity of the knee after ACL surgery and the ability to achieve a good outcome from simple surgical intervention even after a long latent period.
