Compartment syndrome caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus) has rarely been documented. We report the case of a 53-year-old male, hypertensive, who developed compartment syndrome and myositis in the right lower limb. The patient underwent emergency fasciotomies of the anterior, lateral, superficial posterior and deep posterior compartments of the leg and two subsequent surgical debridements, in addition to receiving antibiotic treatment and delayed closure of the fasciotomies with grafts.

A 33-year-old male patient developed distal femur chronic osteomyelitis with massive bone loss after an open grade-3b fracture. Following several failed treatments to eradicate infection, a tibial turn-up procedure was performed to provide a stable and functional stump. To avoid neurovascular problems, the popliteal vessels and sciatic nerve were moved medially, and the flap was rotated externally to decrease the collapse.

Objective: Aim: To compare the effectiveness of tumescent anesthesia and regional anesthesia under ultrasound guidance in terms of their impact on nociceptive and stress systems, as well as systemic hemodynamics, in patients with chronic venous disease of the lower extremities, undergoing surgical treatment.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Fifty patients (average age 48 ±15 years; 19 [38 %] males and 31 [62 %] females) with chronic venous disease of the lower extremities, who underwent surgical treatment (endovenous laser ablation and miniphlebectomy on one limb), were examined. Twenty-five patients (main group) underwent surgery under femoral nerve block with 150 mg of lidocaine and sciatic nerve block (popliteal fossa) with 150 mg of lidocaine under ultrasound guidance.

Background: The lower limb venous system, a subject of extensive study due to its high clinical significance on deep vein thrombosis, presents a rare, intriguing, symmetrical variant in this dissection report.
Case Report: We present the uncommon and clinically meaningful bilateral persistent sciatic vein (PSV) variant. The developmental variant was symmetrically detected during a dissection of an 81-year-old female donated cadaver.
