Presurgical Perspective and Postsurgical Evaluation of Tibial Pilon Fractures.

Tibial pilon fractures represent only a small percentage of all fractures of the lower limb. But they are a feared entity, both for the interpreting radiologist and the treating surgeon and, ultimately, for the patient because they involve the weight-bearing area of the joint and often have associated soft tissue injury. These factors make them technically challenging, with poor clinical and functional results in many patients, even when a perfect joint reduction is achieved.

Cervical intramedullary solitary fibrous tumor: Case report and review of the literature.

Background: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are benign tumors derived from mesenchymal tissues that predominantly occur in the pleura. Establishing the diagnosis of these very rare intramedullary spinal lesions, with no clear-cut pathognomonic radiographic characteristics, is particularly challenging.

Case Description: Two males, 30 and 41 years of age, presented with progressive cervical myelopathies attributed to a cervical intramedullary exophytic tumor with associated spinal cord edema.

Is hysterosalpingography able to diagnose all uterine malformations correctly? A retrospective study.

Background: Mullerian duct anomalies are an uncommon but often a treatable cause of infertility.

Material And Methods: From January 2002 until November 2003, a total of 705 hysterosalpingographies were realised of which 658 were analysed retrospectively in order to determine the importance of uterine malformations in infertile and sterile patients. In ten cases, the results of hysterosalpingography were compared with hysteroscopy and laparoscopy.
