Intranasal Tapentadol Versus Intravenous Paracetamol for Postoperative Analgesia in Lower Limb Orthopaedic Surgeries Under Spinal Anaesthesia: A Single Blind RCT.

Objective: We aimed to compare the analgesic effectiveness of intranasal tapentadol nasal spray 44.5 mg and intravenous (IV) paracetamol 1 gm during the postoperative period in patients undergoing lower limb orthopedic surgeries under spinal anesthesia.

Methods: This prospective, randomized, single-blind clinical trial was carried out in a tertiary care teaching hospital.

Chondroblastoma of the talus.

We report the case of a 13-year-old male child who presented with a painful left ankle. On imaging (radiography and computed tomography scan with 3-dimensional reconstruction views), an osteolytic lesion in the body of the talus was revealed. Open biopsy, curettage, and fibular bone grafting were done, and the specimen was sent for histopathologic examination.
