The aim of this report is to present our experience with new techniques for extraanatomic lower limb arterial reconstruction. Two techniques are described here of construction of an extraanatomical bypass for lower limb revascularization either through the wing of the iliac bone or underneath the iliopsoas fascia through the muscular lacuna close to the anterior superior spine of the iliac crest. Both techniques are recommended for the treatment of a severely injured groin, such as in patients with pelvic malignancy and/or an acute groin bleeding due to postirradiation femoral artery erosion or an infected femoropopliteal bypass graft with severe upper medial thigh sepsis. These techniques were used in nine patients (five with malignancy and four with an infected femoropopliteal bypass graft). Our results showed that the transosseous route through the wing of the iliac bone or underneath the iliopsoas fascia through the muscular lacuna may be considered effective alternate routes for lower limb arterial extraanatomic reconstruction when the common femoral cannot be used for arterial inflow.

Short-Term Outcomes of Dual Versus Single Antiplatelet Therapy Following Popliteal and Infrapopliteal Endovascular Therapy: Data From Dutch Chronic Lower Limb-Threatening Ischemia Registry (THRILLER).

Objective: There is a lack of consensus regarding the optimal antithrombotic therapy (ATT) after popliteal and infrapopliteal (PIP) endovascular therapy (EVT). Currently, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for 3 months and single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) are the most prescribed regimens in the Netherlands. Thus far, no randomized comparison has been performed on the optimal ATT approach.

Intradural disc herniation (IDDH) is a rare condition, accounting for less than 0.5% of herniated disc cases, primarily affecting the lumbar region and often presenting with severe nerve compression or cauda equina syndrome. This paper presents the case of a 60-year-old female with a history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, stroke, and hypothyroidism, who arrived with severe lower back pain, lower limb weakness, and urinary retention.

Aim: This study examined the lifestyle changes of patients after lower limb amputation at Sunyani Teaching Hospital (STH) in Ghana, using the biopsychosocial model.
Background: Running-related overuse injuries are common among recreational runners; however, there is currently little prospective research investigating the role of running characteristics on overuse injury development.
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between running characteristics and lower extremity musculoskeletal injury (MSKI).
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2.
Hydatid cysts, caused by the parasite, predominantly affect the liver and lungs, but can also impact other organs such as the kidneys, brain, and muscles. Infection occurs when individuals ingest eggs from contaminated food or water, leading to cyst formation primarily in the liver. While hydatid cysts are commonly found in various endemic regions, muscular involvement is rare, particularly in the psoas muscle.
