This report presents a case involving a 2-year-old child with tuberculosis of the ulnar bone, accompanied by a comprehensive review of pertinent literature.

Efficacy of Biportal Endoscopic Decompression for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A Meta-Analysis With Single-Arm Analysis and Comparative Analysis With Microscopic Decompression and Uniportal Endoscopic Decompression.

Background And Objective: Biportal endoscopic decompression is a minimally invasive surgical technique for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of biportal endoscopic decompression through both a single-arm analysis and a comparative analysis.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify eligible studies reporting the outcomes of biportal endoscopic decompression for LSS.

Mutational Screening of GLI3, SHH, and SHH ZRS in 78 Chinese Children with Nonsyndromic Polydactyly.

Background: Polydactyly is one of the most common congenital limb abnormalities. Our objective was to identify the genetic causes of non-syndromic polydactyly in 78 Chinese children.

Materials And Methods: Genomic DNA was isolated from 78 independent nonsyndromic polydactyly patients, of whom 71 had preaxial polydactyly (PPD), six had postaxial polydactyly (PAP), and one showed combined PPD1 and PAP-A/B.
