Published: February 2011

Cirsoid aneurysms are rare arteriovenous malformations of the scalp, which are usually of congenital etiology. We describe the case of a young Sri Lankan farmer who presented with a progressively enlarging scalp mass of interesting character, yielding unique images on plain radiography before more advanced imaging and subsequent definitive treatment were performed. The utility of this simple imaging technique in underdeveloped settings is highlighted, and further diagnostic and treatment options are discussed in brief.

Objectives: To compare the value of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) with conventional radiography in the detection of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to correlate the sonographic findings with disease activity, and functional disability scores.

Methods: Patients >18 years of age with RA ≤2 years who satisfied the 2010 EULAR/ACR classification criteria for rheumatoid arthritis and disease activity score 28 (DAS28) >2.6, were enrolled.

Objective: This study evaluated the effect of three-dimensional (3D) volumetric humeral canal fill ratios (VFR) of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) short and standard stems on biomechanical stability and bone deformations in the proximal humerus.

Methods: Forty cadaveric shoulder specimens were analyzed in a clinical computed tomography (CT) scanner allowing for segmentation of the humeral canal to calculate volumetric measures which were verified postoperatively with plain radiographs. Virtual implant positioning allowed for group assignment (VFR < 0.

Background: Isolated fractures of the greater tuberosity represent up to 20% of all proximal humeral fractures. Conservative and surgical treatment strategies are reported. Fracture displacement on radiographs is a key factor in treatment decisions, but the accuracy of measurement methods can limit this process.

Introduction: medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLr) is a common surgical procedure for treating patellar instability. Grafts can be fixed to the femur using a bone-tunnel technique with an interference screw. However, this may lead to femoral tunnel enlargement (FTE) post-operatively.

Introduction: Although sesamoid-preserving procedures have been attempted to complement sesamoidectomy for hallux sesamoid fracture nonunion, few reports document the results. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to review the outcomes of patients with hallux sesamoid fracture nonunion who underwent screw fixation with autogenous bone grafting.

Materials And Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent surgery between January 2013 and September 2022 were reviewed.
