Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease that occurs mainly in pediatric patients and most adult LCH is considered a part of multisystem or multifocal disease. Only 7.3% of cases present as unifocal bone lesion. Herein, we present a case of an isolated scapular lesion of LCH in a 48-year-old man.

Background: A kinetic chain approach to shoulder rehabilitation is recommended. This study aimed to compare muscle activity between the isolated external rotation exercise and an exercise incorporating a kinetic chain approach in adults with shoulder pain. It also sought to identify muscle activation differences with the same tasks between asymptomatic adults and those experiencing shoulder pain.

Background: Cysticercosis, a parasitic infection caused by the larval stages of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, predominantly affects cerebral and ocular tissues. The subcutaneous manifestation of this disease is a relatively uncommon clinical occurrence. Previously very few or no cases of cysticercosis presenting as subcutaneous solitary painful swelling have been reported in the literature.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, Hand and Upper Extremity Service, New York, NY.
Purpose: Historically, infraclavicular brachial plexus injuries (IBPIs) were considered neuropraxic injuries that would improve with nonsurgical intervention. However, more recent studies suggest that these injuries may benefit from surgical intervention. The aims of this retrospective study were to (1) describe injury patterns and associated injuries of isolated, traumatic IBPIs, (2) evaluate the concordance of preoperative ultrasound and magnetic resonance neurography with surgical findings of patients who underwent surgical intervention for IBPIs, and (3) describe outcomes of surgical intervention for these injuries.

Article Synopsis
- Prevotella species are typically harmless bacteria found in the intestines and mouth but can cause infections in immune-compromised individuals.
- A 35-year-old man presented with high fever and chest pain, showing signs of an infection with severe respiratory symptoms and poor oral hygiene.
- After medical imaging revealed a loculated pyopneumothorax, a chest tube was inserted, draining foul-smelling pus that tested positive for Prevotella Intermediata, which responded well to treatment.
Long-term functional recovery after rib fractures: The impact of frailty.

Background: Previous studies have shown that patients with rib fractures experience long-term functional limitations. However, the specific predictors of these worse long-term functional limitations remain under-characterized.
Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study including patients ≥18 years with an injury severity score ≥9 and isolated chest injury.
