Background: The anterior oblique bundle of the medial ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) inserts on the anteroinferior aspect of the humeral medial epicondyle, while the flexor pronator mass (FPM) originates superficial and proximal to the UCL. With valgus stress, these distinct footprints may produce injury patterns that affect only focal areas of the medial epicondyle.

Hypothesis: The proximal UCL can act on the medial epicondyle either in isolation or in conjunction with the FPM to form partial avulsion fracture patterns within the pediatric medial epicondyle, and the predominant pattern involves only the proximal UCL footprint.

Background: Gait impairments are one of the popular consequences of spinal cord injury (SCI). Acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) is an innovative treatment that has recently been used to enhance motor function in patients with neurological conditions. This review aims to examine the effects of AIH on gait post-SCI, verify who most likely would benefit from the treatment, and recognize the best treatment protocol, if possible.

Purpose: The pathomechanism of dropped head syndrome (DHS) is unclear. In this study, we aimed to examine the features of the paraspinal cervical muscles in patients with DHS by analyzing the volume of these muscles using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods: Thirty-six patients with DHS and 25 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (controls) were enrolled.

Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe and rapidly progressing soft tissue infection that requires immediate intervention. However, its manifestation as tarsal tunnel syndrome in a diabetic patient is an extremely rare occurrence, with no previous reports found in the existing literature. We present a case report of a patient in their late 50s with uncontrolled diabetes who had necrotizing fasciitis and presented initially to the emergency department with hypotension.
