Intravascular leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a benign smooth muscle tumor that evolves from the pelvic veins and can spread to the central veins and heart. Cardiac involvement is the most commonly reported presentation. Initial diagnosis is difficult, and IVL is commonly misdiagnosed as thrombus or atrial myxoma. Appropriate imaging and a high clinical suspicion are required for accurate diagnosis. We report a rare case of IVL in the external iliac vein that recurred 4 years after hysterectomy. Only four cases have been reported in the literature to involve the external iliac vein as it has no direct connection to pelvic venous drainage.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to define the angiosome of a cutaneous artery arising from the caudal gluteal artery and identify landmarks for its use as an axial pattern flap.
Methods: This was an experimental anatomic study done between July 2019 and July 2021 with a retrospective review of CT scans. Twenty postcontrast CT scans in client-owned dogs, unrelated to this study, were evaluated for identification of a potential angiosome over the hip region.

Anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone lesion can be treated with the Eden-Hybinette procedure utilizing a tricortical iliac crest bone graft or the Latarjet procedure. This study aimed to evaluate the glenohumeral joint (GHJ) kinematics throughout an external shoulder rotation following the Eden-Hybinette and Latarjet procedures. Nine human specimens were examined with dynamic radiostereometry during a GHJ external rotation with anteriorly directed loads from 0 to 30 N.

Purpose: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a severe complication following joint replacement surgery, and there is a current lack of rapid, accurate, and non-invasive diagnostic methods. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of using dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) to quantify the maximum long and short axes of the external iliac lymph nodes (LNs) as a diagnostic tool for PJI.
Patients And Methods: In this prospective controlled study, 112 patients undergoing total hip or total knee revision surgery were enrolled.

Background: Achondroplasia, the most common form of rhizomelic dwarfism, occurs in approximately 1 in 25,000 individuals. Clinical features include attenuated growth, rhizomelic limb shortening, and craniofacial abnormalities. Limb-lengthening surgery is widely employed to improve quality of life.

Lumbar hernia (LH) is a rare abdominal wall hernia that occurs within the anatomic boundaries of the 12th rib, iliac crest, external oblique muscles, erector spinae muscles, and vertebral column. Secondary LH after urological surgery is rare, and the limited evidence hinders consensus on optimal surgical treatment. Here, we present a case of laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) repair for a large, symptomatic secondary LH after retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy (RN) with mid-term postoperative outcomes.
