A 69-year-old patient with an intramedullary metastasis from colon carcinoma is presented. Total removal of the tumor brought him 3 months of useful life. Although radiation therapy is generally favored, one should consider microsurgical resection of discrete, solitary intramedullary metastases in patients with radioresistant primary tumors.

Clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, and short-term outcome of eight cats presented with suspected traumatic atlantoaxial hyperflexion.
Vet Radiol Ultrasound
November 2024
Department of Clinical Science and Services, Royal Veterinary College, University of London, Hertfordshire, UK.
Article Synopsis
- - Traumatic atlantoaxial hyperflexion in cats is rare, with limited case reports, and can cause acute neurological symptoms influenced by other spinal cord conditions.
- - A study focused on eight young male domestic shorthair cats showed they experienced sudden onset nonpainful tetraparesis, often after a road traffic accident.
- - MRI results revealed a specific spinal lesion in all cases, and while half the cats showed neurological improvement, some were euthanized due to lack of progress.

Article Synopsis
- - Enchondromas are benign cartilage tumors that usually develop asymptomatically in the metaphysis and diaphysis of bones.
- - A rare case of a giant sinonasal enchondroma is presented, highlighting its uncommon location since few similar cases exist.
- - More research is necessary to better understand the malignancy potential of enchondromas, particularly in unusual sites like the sinonasal area.
Impact of intra- and extramedullary alignment on blood loss in total knee arthroplasty: a retrospective study.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
May 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Sana Kliniken Sommerfeld, Waldhausstr. 44, 16766, Kremmen, Germany.
Background: There is a scarcity of scientific data regarding the correlation between alignment techniques during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and blood loss as well as transfusion rates. This study's hypothesis posited that intramedullary-aligned (IM) TKA exhibits higher blood loss and transfusion rates when contrasted with extramedullary-aligned (EM) TKA.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective examination of 883 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in 2021 at a solitary orthopedic center in Germany.
Reoperation after surgery for bone metastasis of renal cell carcinoma.
J Surg Oncol
March 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Oncology, IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli, Bologna, Italy.
Background And Objective: The prognosis of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has markedly improved with the advent of molecular targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, the therapeutic response in patients with bone metastasis remains low; therefore, surgery still plays a significant role in treatment of bone metastasis. It is important to maintain quality of life for patients with bone metastasis from RCC and avoid reoperation after surgery for bone metastasis.

Associated factors on survival outcome and limb function were identified. The comparative analysis between intramedullary nailing and prosthesis surgery in cancer patients with proximal limb metastasis was performed.
