Posterolateral Spiral-Shaped One Third Tubular Plate Stabilization for a Long Spiral Fracture of the Lateral Malleolus.

We present surgical stabilization of a long spiral fibular fracture using a contoured plate, which allows for better fixation of the fracture compared with standard plating. We believe this technique modification provides satisfactory compression and better anatomic orientation to the fibula to facilitate closed fixation.

Case Study: Rare Case of Mantle Cell Lymphoma With Extranodal Involvement in the Foot.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that commonly affects extranodal sites. The most commonly affected sites are the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, Waldeyer's ring, lung, and pleura. We report the case of an 80-year-old diabetic male, in MCL remission, who presented with a small dome-shaped nodule on his calf and an ipsilateral second digit non-healing ulceration after a traumatic fall.

Tissue Expansion Technique for Desyndactylization of Toes Using an External Fixator.

We present an alternative technique for desyndactylization of toes using soft tissue traction with an external fixator. This method allows for tissue expansion for subsequent skin plasty, thereby avoiding the need for a graft or complicated local skin rearrangement. The use of the conventional acute correction technique can create more scarring and might increase the potential for complications, especially if the graft is obtained from a remote site.
