Targeted Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Posteromedial Release of Residual Clubfoot in Myelomeningocele Patients: A Report of Two Cases.

Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is commonly associated with myelomeningocele (MMC). It is thought to be a mixture of intrauterine development and a result of an imbalance in muscular innervation. Conservative management has been explored for those cases, but most resulted in recurrence.

Traumatic fracture of the polyethylene tibial post and cone in a posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Very few reports addressed polyethylene tibial post and cone fractures requiring revision surgery. Up to our knowledge, this particular pattern of wear, involving 2 fracture areas simultaneously, has not been previously described.

Case Presentation: A 70 year-old female developed a fracture involving both the tibial insert post and cone after a minor trauma after undergoing posterior-stabilized total knee replacement 4 years prior.

Extraarticular Pretibial Synovial Cyst After Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Case Report.

Arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament has been modernized through new materials and novel surgical techniques. The usage of bioabsorbable screws for tibial fixation may potentially lead to complications, such as formation of a tibial tunnel or pretibial cysts. This is a relatively rare complication, but it has been described in the literature.

Bilateral Lisfranc Injury in a Young Female: A Case Report.

Lisfranc injuries are relatively rare, accounting for only 0.2% of all injuries. It is even rarer to have this injury bilaterally, and not many case reports have been published on this topic.

Bilateral trochlear avascular necrosis: A case report and brief review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Trochlear AVN is a very rare entity with only a limited number of cases being reported.

Case Presentation: Our case is interesting as it presents a case of an incidentally found bilateral trochlear AVN in a 12 year-old child when he presented with an undisplaced right supracondylar fracture.

Clinical Discussion: It is highly likely that an unknown underlying predisposing factor, possibly recurrent microtrauma, was responsible for the bilateral occurrence.

Assessment of serum vitamin D levels in surgical adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients.

Background: The mechanism behind idiopathic scoliosis and its progression is not fully understood. Vitamin D insufficiency is known to play a role in the progression and/or occurrence of a variety of bone diseases. In this study, we aimed to estimate the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency among patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Outcomes of Arthroscopy-assisted Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Pinning for a Displaced Pediatric Lateral Condylar Humeral Fracture.

Background: Since 2015, we have performed arthroscopy-assisted closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (A/S-CRPP) for children with a displaced lateral condylar humeral fracture (LCF). The purpose of this study is to introduce our A/S-CRPP method and present its outcomes.

Methods: In total, 39 displaced (>2 mm) LCFs for which A/S-CRPP was initially attempted and with available follow-up data of >12 months were retrospectively reviewed.
