Minimally Invasive Plating of Distal Radius Fracture: A Series of 42 Cases and Review of Current Literature.

Surgical techniques developed for distal radius fracture fixation have become increasingly advanced, including minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). This study aimed to introduce and evaluate the functional outcome of a novel MIPO technique that differs from previous reports. This study included 42 patients with distal radius fractures who underwent minimally invasive surgical plating of the distal radius.

Conservative approach for treatment of Grisel's syndrome after resection of lympahadenitis tuberculosis of the neck: A rare case report.

Introduction: Grisel's syndrome is a rare condition characterized by nontraumatic rotatory subluxation of the atlantoaxial joint, which was caused by previous inflammation around the head and neck. It is usually seen in children and signed as torticollis. There was no consensus for management, yet early diagnosis and treatment is paramount.

Giant cell tumor of distal ulna treated using en-bloc resection combined with extensor carpi ulnaris and flexor carpi ulnaris tendon stabilization: A case report.

Introduction: Giant Cell Tumor (GCT) is a form of bone tumor which is rare, benign, and locally invasive. To date, there have not been many case reports regarding cases of GCTs on the distal ulna which made the optimum strategy in management remain controversial. In some reported cases, the patient was treated with wide excision followed by reconstructive procedure resulting in ulnar translation of the carpal bones and dynamic convergence of the ulna towards the radius.

Mechanisms of Cytotoxicity of Chemical Agents to Giant Cell Tumors: An In Vitro Study.

Background: Various chemical agents have been used as an adjuvant treatment for giant cell tumor (GCT). However, the comparative effect of these chemicals remains unclear.

Methods: Multinucleated and spindle cells from cultured GCT patients, characterized by Nanog and Oct4 expression with RT-PCR, were directly administered, in vitro, with concentrations of 1%, 3%, and 5% of HO and 75%, 85%, and 95% of ethanol for 10 minutes and concentrations of 0.

Vertebral body defects treated with umbilical-cord mesenchymal stem cells combined with hydroxyapatite scaffolds: The first case report.

Introduction: Vertebral body defects (VBDs) are one of the most frequent orthopaedic disorders. Such defects often require bone grafts or fusion procedures; however, both procedures often fail due to various factors. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used as a potential therapy to fill bone voids in bone defects, and they may be a potential treatment for VBDs.

Functional outcome of operative treatment for pelvic metastatic bone disease from primary thyroid cancer: A case series.

Background: Metastatic bone disease (MBD) is the most common malignancy of bone. It is estimated that 70 % of all malignant bone tumors are due to metastasis. The functional outcome from pelvic MBD surgical management has been rarely described in the literature contrary to that of the long bones.

Peroneal groove deepening as the treatment of peroneal tendon subluxation: A case report.

Introduction: Peroneal tendon subluxation is a relatively rare disorder that is often misdiagnosed as an ankle sprain. It affects mainly young adults, usually during sports activities. It is mostly caused by avulsion of the superior peroneal retinaculum (SPR) from its fibular insertion, which requires surgical intervention, especially for cases of symptomatic chronic peroneal tendon subluxation and/or dislocation.
