Primary Spinal Epidural/Extramedullary Ewing Sarcoma in Young Female Patients.

Unlabelled: Primary spinal epidural/extramedullary ewing sarcoma (ES) is a rare extraosseous lesion. Extraosseous ES has a similar demographic as osseous ES, primarily affecting adolescents and young adults and male propensity. Reported 5-year survival is 0% to 37.

Biomechanical Comparison of 2 Methods of Intramedullary K-Wire Fixation of Transverse Metacarpal Shaft Fractures.

Purpose: To determine the relative importance of intramedullary wire (IMW) diameter and IMW number in conferring stability to a metacarpal fracture fixation construct. Our research hypothesis was that the stiffness of IMW fixation for metacarpal shaft fractures using a single 1.6-mm-diameter (0.
