Hips with synovial chondromatosis may display the features of femoroacetabular impingement.

Background: Both synovial chondromatosis and femoroacetabular impingement present with hip pain and may lead to hip osteoarthritis. We present a small case series and describe the clinical presentation, investigation, and treatment of patients with synovial chondromatosis who also had cam-type femoroacetabular impingement involving the same hip.

Methods: Five patients (four men and one woman with a mean age of thirty-four years [range, thirty to thirty-seven years]) with unilateral synovial chondromatosis of the hip presented with clinical and radiographic features of ipsilateral cam-type femoroacetabular impingement.

Reconstruction of distal fibula with osteoarticular allograft after tumor resection.

Background: Involvement of distal fibula by benign aggressive and malignant tumors usually necessitates resection of the involved segment of fibula. Numerous techniques have been proposed to reconstruct the ankle joint after this procedure, which can result in complications. We introduce reconstruction of ankle joint by fibular osteoarticular allograft.

In this article, we report a case of anaerobic osteomyelitis of femur with fulminant spread of infection to the abdomen in a 17-year-old boy with no predisposing medical factors and minimal bone involvement.

Evaluation of relationship between the serum levels of inflammatory mediators and ocular injuries induced by sulfur mustard: Sardasht-Iran Cohort Study.

Ocular damages induced by sulfur mustard (SM) are the important problems in exposed patients. The damaging mechanisms are not clearly understood. In the present study the relationship between the serum levels of inflammatory mediators and ocular injuries induced by SM was evaluated.
