Bilateral Solitary Glomus Tumour of Thumb: A Case Report.

Glomus tumours are benign neoplastic lesions of glomus body, a thermoregulatory apparatus of cutaneous microvasculature. These tumours can arise at any location of the body but most commonly seen in subungual region of fingers. Bilateral solitary glomus tumour of hand is a rare entity.

Salvage of infected total knee arthroplasty with Ilizarov external fixator.

Background: Knee arthrodesis may be the only option of treatment in cases of chronic infected total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with concomitant irreparable extensor mechanism disruption, extensive bone loss or severe systemic morbidities. Circular external fixation offers possible progressive adjustment to stimulate the bony fusion and to make corrections in alignment. We evaluated the results of knee arthrodesis with one or two stage circular external fixator for infected TKA.

Bilateral symmetrical periprosthetic (mirror) fractures of knee fixed with dual plating technique.

Introduction: Periprosthetic fracture following total knee arthroplasty is a potentially serious condition. Here we report a case of bilaterally symmetrical (mirror) fracture of supracondylar area following trivial trauma.

Presentation Of Case: Both fractures were OTA 33A2 and according to Rorabeck classification they were type II.

Total Knee Arthroplasty as Salvage for Non Union in Bicondylar Hoffa Fracture: a report of two cases.

Introduction: Bicondylar Hoffa fracture is a rare injury with implant failure and non unions as known complications.

Case Report: Two cases of Bicondylar Hoffa fractures with implant failure and nonunion treated successfully with long stem total knee arthroplasty are reported here. At a minimum follow up of 2 years both the implants were well fixed and the fractures have united.

Are both the knees of the same size? Analysis of component asymmetry in 289 bilateral knee arthroplasties.

Background: Variations in the anatomy of knee are well described, however the true incidence of component asymmetry in bilateral total knee arthroplsties is rarely reported. Incidence of component asymmetry in bilateral total knee arthroplasties (TKA) was retrospectively analysed in 289 cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasties.

Materials And Methods: Medical records of these 289 patients were evaluated for the incidence of asymmetry of either femoral or tibial components.
