Article Abstract
Heterotopic ossification is an uncommon disorder that consists of deposition of ectopic bone outside the extraskeletal tissues. In the skin, it can be primary, in association with genetic syndromes, or be secondary to different disorders. The latter include subcutaneous ossification of the legs in chronic venousinsufficiency, an infrequent and unrecognized complication. We report the case of a patient with subcutaneous ossification of both legs secondary to venous insufficiency and review the literature.

How do lesions affect limb lengthening in children with Ollier's disease?
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Orthopaedics, Children's Hospital of Fudan University, National Children's Medical Center, 399 Wanyuan Rd, Minhang District, Shanghai, 201102, China.
Purpose: Ollier's disease (multiple enchondromatosis) can cause severe lower limb length discrepancy and deformity in children. Osteotomy and limb lengthening with external fixation can correct the lower extremity deformity. There may be lesions in the osteotomy part (OP), and the internal fixation part of the external fixation(FP).

Article Synopsis
- Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic connective tissue disorder leading to fragile bones, with a global occurrence of 1 in 10,000; diagnosis relies on clinical and radiological assessments.
- A study examined 91 pediatric OI patients at a national institute, revealing that most had fractures and specific physical traits like blue sclera and bowed legs; treatment typically involved bisphosphonates.
- The findings suggest the need for better OI fracture risk classification using severity scales, highlighting the importance of raising awareness and enhancing research on this rare condition.*
Nutrient foramina of human fibula: morphometric analysis and clinical relevance.
J Bone Miner Metab
December 2024
Department of Community Medicine, Vinayaka Mission's Medical College and Hospital, VMRF-DU, Karaikal, 609609, India.
Background: The fibula, situated laterally in the leg, receives vital nutrition through nutrient arteries during embryonic bone growth and early ossification. This study aims to assess the direction, distance, location, number, and foraminal index of nutrient foramina in dry fibulae from the South Indian population.
Materials And Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional analysis involved 63 dry adult human fibulae sourced from the Department of Anatomy, Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, Thandalam.
Heterotopic Ossification of the Adductor Muscles in Bald Eagles ().
Vet Sci
November 2024
Department of Small Mammal, Reptile and Avian Medicine and Surgery, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Bünteweg 9, 30559 Hanover, Germany.
Diseases of the musculature can be caused, for example, by alimentary or traumatic issues. In three bald eagles with painful lameness and/or a reduced range of the hip joint, a muscular disease was diagnosed via radiographic examination. The eagles were kept in a falconry and trained as demonstration birds, which were displayed on a gloved hand and flown in falconry education programs.

November 2024
Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Acibadem University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey.
Purpose: Appendicular skeleton markers are commonly used for maturity assessment for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients. Traditionally, Risser has been a standard skeletal maturity assessment method. More recently, Sanders classification (SSMS), as a more comprehensive system, became popular, especially in decision-making for Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT).
