Simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation is a recognized treatment for patients with insulin-dependent diabetes and advanced chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), offering significant survival benefits. However, it is associated with a higher risk of venous thrombosis, which can jeopardize the survival of the pancreaticoduodenal graft. This case report describes a patient with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and ESRD who developed acute, occlusive deep vein thrombosis (DVT) involving the right common femoral, profunda femoral, and greater saphenous veins on postoperative day 1 (POD1) following a deceased donor SPK transplant, despite systemic prophylactic anticoagulation.

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is one of the most common orthopaedic sports medicine surgeries. Its prevalence in the sports medicine sphere is matched by the numerous options of different techniques. Chief among these is graft selection, which most commonly falls into 1 of 4 options: bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft, hamstring tendon autograft (HT), quadriceps tendon autograft, and allografts.

Background: Treatment of symptomatic varicose veins has changed dramatically in the last few years with guidelines now recommending endovenous surgery as first-line intervention. Previously, this was achieved by laser or radiofrequency ablation of the target vein, requiring infiltration of tumescent anesthesia to reduce the risks of thermal damage to surrounding tissue. Endovenous cyanoacrylate injection (VenaSeal™) is a nonthermal, nontumescent endovenous closure technique, increasing patient comfort and is readily performed under local anesthesia only and thus is a feasible technique for in-room treatment.

Purpose: This study aims to measure the peri-incisional numbness developing after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) performed using the midline skin incision. It studies the natural course of the numbness and determines its correlation with the skin incision length (SIL).
Materials & Methods: 66 knees undergoing primary TKA with a standard midline incision were evaluated.
