Ewing sarcoma is a very common type of malignant bone tumor among children and adolescents that most frequently develops in long bones of the body and extremities; however, it can also affect other bones such as the skull and scapula in rare cases. In Ewing sarcoma, the most common sites of metastasis are the lungs and bones, which indicates a late stage of the disease and is considered a poor prognostic factor. In this paper, we report the case of a 10-year-old boy presenting with a painless swelling on his left shoulder that was not associated with other local or systemic symptoms, and with no neurological manifestations.

Article Synopsis
  • The "terrible triad injury" (TTI) of the elbow involves dislocation and fractures in key areas like the radial head and ulna, posing a significant challenge for orthopedic surgeons due to resultant instability and stiffness.
  • A 47-year-old patient with multiple injuries underwent complex surgery, which included various reconstructive procedures for a missed fracture dislocation in his elbow following prior trauma.
  • After seven years of recovery, the patient achieved nearly full elbow motion, with a perfect Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) and an ideal DASH score, indicating excellent outcomes post-surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze one-year mortality rates after osteoporotic femur fractures and identify factors linked to increased mortality, focusing on patients from King Saud Medical City in Saudi Arabia over an 11-year period.
  • Out of 108 patients with femoral fractures, 77.8% had proximal fractures, and 55.6% were under 75 years old; hypertension and diabetes were common but did not significantly affect mortality risk. The overall mortality rate was 21.3%, with 25% mortality for proximal fractures compared to 8.3% for distal fractures.
  • Findings suggest that patients with normal bone mass density had higher mortality rates compared to those with abnormal BMD; the study

An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign but locally aggressive lesion. The challenge in managing pelvic ABC arises from its relative inaccessibility and the presence of nearby neurovascular structures. In this report, we present the case of a 14-year-old female with pelvic ABC and describe the symptoms, signs, and radiographic appearance of the ABC, management, and good outcome of non-surgical management by selective trans-arterial embolization.

Persistent Müllerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS) is regarded as a rare genetic disorder influencing internal sexual male development. PMDS is commonly diagnosed incidentally either during any pelvic surgery or examination of undescended testis. Currently, we have presented a case focusing on the phenotype individual who was presented to our institute with primary infertility as well as bilateral undescended testis, who underwent Robotic-assisted hysterectomy, left orchidectomy, and right orchiopexy.
