An 11-year-old Gordon setter bitch was presented with a history of progressive weakness in the right hind limb associated with pain in the lumbar spine. Neurological deficits consisted of ataxia, monoparesis, muscle atrophy and spontaneous over-knuckling of the affected limb. A large 'juxtaarticular' cyst located in a right dorsolateral position of the intervertebral foramen at L3-L4 was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging. The cyst was removed through a modified laminectomy. The dog recovered quickly and returned to the owners 4 days after surgery with slight neurological symptoms. During the follow-up examination 2 and 6 months later, the Setter showed normal gait and neurological examination.

Joint-sparing resection of juxta-articular knee tumors is challenging. With the development of 3D printing technology, custom-made cutting guides were introduced with the aim to improve the accuracy of tumor resection margins and to shape the allograft for adequate matching in biological reconstruction. Between December 2017 and July 2023, 13 patients underwent joint-sparing juxta-articular resection of the knee for a primary bone tumor at our institution.

Introduction: Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign intra-osseous lesion. The lesion is painful and usually diagnosed by x-ray, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). When the lesion is juxta-articular or intra-capsular, the symptoms may present differently than the typical OO lesion and make diagnosis more challenging.

Article Synopsis
  • - Chondroblastoma is a rare bone tumor found at the ends of bones, accounting for about 1% of primary bone tumors. It can be invasive, and there's a risk of recurrence after traditional open surgery, which can also cause damage to the bone structure.
  • - In this case study, a 14-year-old male underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure to remove a chondroblastoma from the proximal tibia. The surgery involved careful lesion excision and bone cavity management, using a substitute for autologous bone grafts.
  • - After one year of follow-up, the patient showed no symptoms or knee issues, and imaging confirmed successful bone graft healing without recurrence, suggesting that arthroscopic surgery could be a viable
