Glomus tumours of the hand: Review of literature.

Glomus tumours are rare benign vascular neoplasms commonly found in the hand particularly in subungual region. Though, its aetiology remains largely unknown, several hypotheses have been made to explain the etiopathogenesis and cause of pain. These tumours usually present as a bluish or pinkish red discolouration of the nail plate with classical triad of localised tenderness, severe pain, and cold sensitivity.

Arthroscopic anatomic double bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: Our experience with follow-up of 4 years.

Background: Double bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been proposed to recreate the natural anatomy of ACL. Reconstruction of the anatomy of both the bundles of ACL has been thought to be able to restore the rotational stability of the knee joint. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether DB reconstruction has better functional outcome than single bundle (SB) ACL reconstruction.

Primary repair of capsuloligamentous structures of trapeziometacarpal joint: A preliminary study.

Background: Isolated trapezio-metacarpal joint dislocation is uncommon and challenging since controversy still exists regarding its management.

Description: We present a short case series in which direct repair of trapezio-metacarpal ligaments was done in three patients who had isolated, unstable dislocation of the thumb carpometacarpal joint. All of them were engaged in tasks where no compromise in hand functions and grip strength was affordable.

Transient patellar dislocation resulting in simultaneous osteochondral fractures of patella and lateral femoral condyle - a case report.

Transient Patellar dislocations are commonly associated with bony contusions or osteochondral fractures involving the medial facet of patella or lateral femoral condyle. Simultaneous osteochondral fractures are rare and have not been reported in the adult. The authors report a case of combined osteochondral fracture of patella and lateral femoral condyle following acute patellar dislocation in an adult, which was misdiagnosed as meniscal injury.
