Sacral tumors with fetiform features are rare and pose a diagnostic challenge to the ultrasonologist. Sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCT) and parasitic twins can have very similar sonographic features but have different implications to an affected pregnancy. While postnatal histopathology is ultimately necessary to distinguish between a SCT and a heteropagus twin, certain characteristics, such as the presence of a vertebral column and the pattern and rate of tumor growth, may be useful to guide counseling and management decisions.

Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Glan Clwyd Hospital, Rhyl, GBR.
Background: This study aims to synthesise recent findings on the outcomes of common femoral endarterectomy (CFE) with profundoplasty, evaluating the efficacy, complications, and predictors of long-term success in patients undergoing this procedure.
Patients And Methods: This is a descriptive retrospective study assessing the outcomes of CFE with profundoplasty. All patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) who attended and underwent CFE with profundoplasty with or without iliac intervention at Glan Clwyd Hospital (Wales, United Kingdom) were studied.
The impact of body mass index on rehabilitation outcomes after lower limb amputation.

Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, College of Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA.
Purpose: To determine the effect of obesity on physical function and clinical outcome measures in patients who received inpatient rehabilitation services for lower extremity amputation.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed on patients with lower extremity amputation (n = 951). Patients were stratified into five categories adjusted for limb loss mass across different levels of healthy body mass index (BMI), overweight, and obesity.

Case Report: We report a rare case of post-traumatic reactivation of latent TB of elbow which mimicked septic arthritis, in a healthy adult who suffered an elbow contusion injury following an road traffic accident.
Supporting physical activity for health: What activities would people with transtibial amputation like to perform?
Prosthet Orthot Int
December 2024
Department of Life Sciences, University of Roehampton, London, UK.
Background: Participation in physical activity (PA) for health by people with transtibial amputation (PTTA) may moderate comorbidities experienced by this population. It is more likely that interventions which aim to increase participation by PTTA in PA for health will increase participation if the type of PA used is tailored to the preferences of the PTTA.
Objective: This study aimed to identify the types of PA performed by PTTA, the types of PA PTTA who performed no physical activities would like to adopt, and if these outcomes were influenced by the cause of amputation.
