Article Synopsis
- Brucellosis is a rare but challenging disease to diagnose, especially when it involves the joints, and should be considered in patients with prolonged fever and joint pain.
- A case study of a 41-year-old goat farmer highlighted her symptoms of low back and joint pain lasting four months, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by serological tests.
- Early detection and treatment, including NSAIDs and antibiotics, resulted in complete symptom relief within four weeks, emphasizing the importance of detailed history and physical exams in diagnosing atypical cases.

September 2024
Department of Rheumatology, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris, Henri Mondor Hospital, 94000 Créteil, France.
Article Synopsis
- FDG-PET/CT is valuable for diagnosing infective endocarditis (IE) and detecting additional septic sites, with prior studies revealing osteoarthritic septic grafts (OASGs) in 19.1% of IE patients.
- A larger study included 174 patients suspected of IE, finding OASGs in 27.6% of them, predominantly located in the spine, with 43.8% of cases being asymptomatic.
- The presence of OASGs was linked to musculoskeletal pain and tricuspid valve involvement, indicating that early identification could influence antibiotic treatment and orthopedic management.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Antoine Béclère Hospital, APHP, Paris-Saclay University, 157 rue de la Porte Trivaux, 92140, Clamart, France; Laboratory of Biomechanics, Bioengineering and Osteo-Articular Bioimaging B3OA, UMR7052, 10 avenue de Verdun, 75010, Paris, France.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a surgical strategy for treating painful ankle impingements that can occur after high-energy trauma resulting in extra-articular open fractures of the leg.
- The proposed method involves performing anterior and posterior arthroscopies primarily in the supine position, aiming to minimize complications and simplify the process.
- Initial results from a small group of patients and cadaver tests suggest that the strategy is effective, with data supporting improvements in pain, mobility, and functional scores post-surgery.
