Successful management of a distal clavicular fracture using Titanium elastic nail (TEN) fixation.

This case report presents a unique instance of a 25-year-old male patient successfully treated with Titanium elastic nail (TEN) for a distal clavicle fracture, a method typically reserved for midshaft clavicle fractures. Distal clavicular fractures, constituting 12%-15% of all clavicle fractures, often necessitate surgical intervention to avoid complications such as malunion and persistent pain. While standard surgical therapies include Kirschner wire and hook plate fixation, this case explores the benefits of TEN, known for minimal tissue disruption and faster recovery.

A diagnostic challenge: misdiagnosing Blau syndrome as juvenile dermatomyositis in a pediatric patient.

Introduction: Blau syndrome (BS) and juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) are distinct conditions with different pathophysiological mechanisms. Accurate diagnosis of BS can be challenging due to overlapping clinical features with other inflammatory conditions. This case is being reported to highlight a pediatric case initially diagnosed with JDM, and subsequently found to have BS through genetic testing.

Pain is the most common complaint and the most significant cause of decreased health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among osteoarthritic patients. The objectives of this study were to assess the impact of pain on quality of life among patients with osteoarthritis and to assess the association of sociodemographic and clinical factors with HRQOL.
