Use of Tibial Cortical Autograft for the Osteotomy Site in Medial Opening-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy.

Background: Medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) is a useful treatment option in patients with medial compartment osteoarthritis. Typically, the osteotomy site is filled with material such as autologous bone graft, allograft, or synthetic bone substitute. However, all these options have disadvantages.

Low-Energy Trauma-Induced Bilateral Isolated Posteromedial Tibial Plateau Fracture in a Healthy Young Adult: A Case Report.

Introduction: Tibial plateau fractures account for average 1% of all fractures in adults. They mostly related to high-energy trauma in young adult and milder traumatic injuries in elderly due to osteoporosis.

Case Report: In this case, we reported a 28-year-old male patient who admitted to the emergency room with painful and swollen bilateral knees who had fallen on his knees while playing leapfrog.

Giant Cell Tumor of the Proximal Phalanx: Report of two Cases Treated by Two Different Methods and Review of the Literature.

The hand is an extremely rare site for giant cell tumor (GCT). There are only a few reported cases of GCT including the hand, and even fewer reporting involvement of phalanges. GCTs in small bones are typically more aggressive and have higher local recurrence and rate of metastasis in younger patients compared to long bone involvement, so the treatment is more clinically challenging in the hand.

Giant tumors of the posterior mediastinum: a narrative review of surgical treatment.

Background And Objective: The posterior mediastinum is a potential space along the paravertebral sulci or between the posterior aspect of the pericardium and the vertebrae. This compartment is classically the most frequent location site of neurogenic tumors. Whereas neurofibroma and schwannoma are neurogenic tumors that commonly arise from peripheral nerves, sympathetic nerves are the origin of ganglioneuroma, neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma, and neuroectodermal cells closely associated with autonomic nerves are the origin of paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas.

Single versus multiple video-assisted thoracocopic lung biopsy for suspected interstitial lung disease: a perspective on diagnostic efficacy and length of hospital stay.

Background: Nearly one-third of the patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) require surgical biopsy for a definite diagnosis. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical (VATS) biopsy has replaced open lung biopsy, but the number of biopsy required to achieve an accurate diagnose is controversial.

Objectives: Our study aims to show that a well-planned single VATS biopsy is as effective as multiple biopsies for the accurate diagnosis of ILD by reduced days of hospital stay.
