[An unusual cause of tarsal tunnel syndrome in a 15-year-old girl: about a case].

Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a multifaceted condition caused by the compression or lesion of the posterior tibial nerve (PTN) that passes through a retromalleolar osteofibrous canal, the so-called tarsal tunnel. It has multiple etiologies, including peripheral nerve tumors, which must be suspected when this syndrome is resistant to medical treatment and infiltrations. We here report the original case of a 15-year-old girl presenting with tarsal tunnel syndrome revealing neurofibroma of the PTN, misdiagnosed as plantar fasciculitis and S1 radiculopathy.

Outcomes of distal femoral fractures treated with dynamic condylar screw (DCS) plate system: a single centre experience spanning 15 years.

Introduction: the dynamic condylar screw (DCS) plate is an angular stable fixation (95°) system for distal femur fractures that allows for the ability to apply compression across the femoral condyles. The aim of this study was to evaluate our experience treating distal femur fractures with this device and give the long-term outcome.

Methods: a retrospective study was undertaken in our institution during the period from January 2002 to December 2016.

Fingertip injuries managed by a thenar flap: Follow-up and long-term outcomes of 32 cases.

While various techniques are used for the reconstruction of fingertip injuries, the main goals remain the same: preserve finger length, sensation, and function. The thenar flap is a well-described technique and simple procedure in fingertip amputations. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term functional and esthetic outcomes along with patient satisfaction of thenar flaps done for fingertip defects.

Necrotizing fasciitis of the upper extremity: a retrospective analysis of 19 cases.

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is both a limb-and life-threatening disease that affects skin, hypodermis as well as superficial fascia and deep fascia by rapidly progressive necrosis. Although this serious infection frequently occurs in the extremities, upper limb NF is a rare clinical presentation. The present study attempted to evaluate the clinical profiles, paraclinical findings, treatment modalities, outcomes and predictors of morbidity and mortality in patients with NF of the upper extremity.
