Klippel-Feil syndrome with osteopoikilosis in a young lady and her four female relatives with osteopoikilosis.

Osteopoikilosis is a rare, usually asymptomatic, autosomal dominant bone disorder, which is usually found incidentally on X-ray. Klippel-Feil syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the congenital fusion of any two of the seven cervical (neck) vertebrae. It is caused by a failure in the normal segmentation or division of the cervical vertebrae during the early weeks of fetal development.

Repairing an achilles tendon rupture using the partial lindholm technique augmented by the plantaris tendon: a case report.

Many techniques have been described for the treatment of an acute achilles tendon rupture, but there is unfortunately no agreement between orthopedic surgeons regarding the best repair technique and post-treatment rehabilitation protocol. Overall, the surgical methods can be classified as either an open procedure or as a percutaneous procedure. While numerous techniques have been described for open surgical procedures, the strength of the repaired tendon, the healing time, the rerupture rates, and the changes in the range of motion due to adhesions may be the ultimate determining factors of the success of the procedure.
