Silent Case of Pediatric Osteoarticular Tuberculosis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases globally, often presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can obscure diagnosis, especially when it manifests in uncommon sites such as osteoarticular tuberculosis (OA-TB).

Case Presentation: We report a rare case of a 9-year-old male diagnosed with right knee tuberculosis after enduring severe symptoms for several months. Despite multiple negative biopsies and aspirates during initial debridement surgeries, a biopsy taken 6 months later confirmed the presence of (MTB).

Non-traumatic Simultaneous Bilateral Femur Neck Fracture in a Young Female Unraveling End-Stage Renal Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Introduction: Spontaneous femur neck fracture is rare, especially when they occur bilaterally. Renal osteodystrophy is among the causes of these fractures that should be kept in mind. We report a case of a young female who presented with bilateral hip pain and was found to have bilateral femur neck fracture due to renal osteodystrophy.

Effect of Preoperative Antianxiety Medications on Blood Pressure and Blood Loss in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Case-Control Study.

Background: The increasing number of canceled operations in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to high blood pressure readings has put a considerable burden on surgeons. In this study, we aim to assess the effect of giving antianxiety drugs preoperatively on maintaining blood pressure (BP) and blood loss for patients undergoing TKA surgery.

Methods: This retrospective case-control study included patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty and divided them into two main groups: those who had taken a 3 mg bromazepam oral tablet at the night preoperatively and the control group.

Microbiological Profile and Drug Resistance Analysis of Postoperative Infections following Orthopedic Surgery: A 5-Year Retrospective Review.

Background: The distribution of postoperative orthopedic infection and their susceptibility pattern to antibiotics vary regionally and change over time. The incidence of methicillin-resistant infection is rising worldwide. Therefore, knowledge of the frequency of the causative microorganisms and their susceptibility to antibiotics are necessary for an improved therapeutic outcome.

Unusual Osteoblastoma of the First Metatarsal Bone Treated by Total Resection and Fibular Autograft: A Case Report.

Case: A 25-year-old man presented with progressive pain and swelling of the left foot for 4 years. The images showed a contrast-enhanced mixed lesion (osteolytic and blastic) of the first metatarsal bone with surrounding soft-tissue edema. The differential diagnoses favored chronic osteomyelitis or neoplasia, most likely benign.
