Introduction For spastic hip dislocations, a variety of operations are available with open hip reduction and varus derotational osteotomy of the proximal femur combined with pelvic osteotomy ± adductor release being a good option with favourable outcomes. This study aims to assess the outcome and complications of combined open hip reduction with pelvic osteotomy and varus derotational osteotomy. Methods In this study, 70 hips in 52 patients with spastic hip dislocation due to cerebral palsy were included.

However, the localized form of the GCTTS can be rarely seen in large joints such as knees, ankles, and shoulders. GCTTS may occur due to questionable etiology that includes inflammation, trauma, or chromosomal abnormalities.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTarsal coalition is an abnormal connection between 2 or more tarsal bones, with the most common sites being between the talus and the calcaneus and between the navicular and the calcaneus. The occurrence of multiple and massive tarsal coalitions is rare. We describe a rare case of nonsyndromic bilateral tarsal coalition involving most of the tarsal bones and extending to the metatarsal bones in a 4-year-old female.

This study was conducted to determine the relationship between the etiologies and management of FNFs at our institution and the development of AVN or nonunion.
Materials And Methods: This study was a retrospective medical chart review of all adult patients admitted and managed for FNF.
Introduction: Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus that is mostly found in the Mediterranean and Gulf States regions. Hydatid cysts usually arise in the liver and lungs but rarely occur in the forearm.
Presentation Of Case: In this report, we present a rare case of a solitary intramuscular forearm hydatid cyst in a 32-year-old woman.

Introduction: Dislocation of the knee after primary total knee arthroplasty is rare in a posterior stabilized knee and extremely rare in a constrained total knee arthroplasty. Constrained total knee prostheses are used for severe knee deformities and to provide stable and mobile knees.
Presentation Of Case: In this case, we describe a dislocation of a primary constrained total knee arthroplasty using the Genesis II (Smith & Nephew, Memphis Tennessee, USA) prosthesis.
Introduction: Venous thromboembolism is a serious complication in orthopedic surgery. It is very common in major surgery, such as total hip arthroplasty. However, few reports have described the incidence of pulmonary embolism and its associated risk factors following less invasive surgery, such as arthroscopic knee surgery.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: Surgical drains are inserted into the wound after an arthroscopic knee procedure mainly to decrease fluid collection after the operation. The use of postoperative surgical drains remains controversial.
Case Presentation: This report presents a rare case of a forgotten retained drain that was accidentally found inside a knee 10 years after an arthroscopic procedure.
Introduction: Osteochondroma, a type of cartilaginous tumour, is the most common benign tumour affecting the bone. These tumours usually arise around the knee, proximal humerus, and pelvis, but very rarely occur at the scapula. Osteochondromas are usually asymptomatic and uncomplicated, but must be treated by surgical resection.
