Tibial deficiency (also known as tibial hemimelia) is a rare condition with variable presentation. A 2-month-old patient presented with absent bilateral tibias. When the patient was 1 year, a novel reconstructive surgery was done. A bilateral fibular resection with pedicled calcaneus transfer was done, allowing for transfer of the calcaneus along with the overlying glabrous skin and soft tissues to the end of the femur. The patient was permitted to weight-bear after the 4-week postoperative follow-up. At the six-month follow-up, the patient was able to pull to stand and walk with assistance without any reports of pain.

Reconstruction of Bilateral Hindfoot Open Fracture Using the Femoral Head Allograft: A Three-Year Follow-Up Case Report.
Cureus
November 2024
Orthopedic Surgery Department, King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, SAU.
This case report presents a three-year follow-up of a young male with bilateral hindfoot fractures due to a high-energy road traffic accident, resulting in a comminuted open calcaneal fracture on the left and an open fracture-dislocation of the right talus. Staged reconstruction was performed, including initial debridement, temporary cement spacers, and subsequent fixation with femoral head allografts (FHAs). The right foot underwent a tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) fusion, and the left foot received a double arthrodesis.

Introduction: Few studies have reported the treatment and rehabilitation of combined fractures of the femur, tibia, and ankle in the same lower limb.
Case Report: A 69-year-old man presented to our hospital with a fall injury due to high-energy trauma after falling from a 5 m ladder while painting and landing on both feet. Examination revealed right femoral supracondylar; left tibial plateau; right calcaneal; left ankle crush; first and third lumbar vertebrae burst; sacral; C7, Th1, and Th9 compression; and bilateral acetabular fractures.

Objective: To focus on the imaging features of liposclerosing myxofibrous tumor (LSMFT) and diagnostic challenges to enhance clinical recognition and differential diagnosis accuracy.
Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted on the imaging and pathological data from 21 cases diagnosed with LSMFT between January 2014 and November 2022, including 14 males and 7 females (aged from 21 to 73 years; the course of disease ranged from 4 to 48 months). Patient demographics, clinical presentations, and imaging modalities including X-ray, CT, and MRI were reviewed.
Exploring the Link Between Calcaneal Apophysis Maturation and Heel Pain in Youth Baseball Players.

Article Synopsis
- Calcaneal apophysitis is a common cause of heel pain in children and adolescents, but its connection to skeletal maturity in youth baseball players is not well understood.
- The study involved 336 male youth baseball players, assessing the maturity of the calcaneal apophysis through ultrasound and classifying it into five stages, while diagnosing heel pain through subjective reports.
- Results showed a 14.6% prevalence of heel pain among the players, but no significant relationship existed between the maturity stages of the calcaneal apophysis and the experience of heel pain, with no cases reported at the final maturation stage.
