Introduction: In this article, we report a unique case of head-stem dissociation in a metal-on-metal total hip replacement which utilized an Exeter stem. Although metallosis and pseudotumor formation are well recognized complications of metal-on-metal hip replacements, head-stem dissociations are rare with few being reported in literature. To the best of our knowledge, this case report is the first to report this occurrence in an Exeter stem.

A tension system for angular correction of bent intramedullary nails: in vitro analysis.

Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol

December 2024

Department of Orthopedics and Trauma, Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF), Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Purpose: Although several techniques have been described for bent intramedullary nail removal, there is no universally accepted strategy. We hypothesized that a device based on the action principle of a three-point bend fixture could facilitate extraction of bent intramedullary nails; this paper describes its design and experimental testing.

Methods: Five large synthetic left femurs and five steel intramedullary nails were used.

  • A case of proliferative myositis (PM) of the breast is presented, marking only the second documented instance in English literature.
  • A 49-year-old woman developed a rapidly growing mass in her right breast after surgeries for other tumors, leading to initial concerns about malignancy; extensive immunohistochemical testing ultimately diagnosed PM.
  • The findings highlight the critical need to identify pseudomalignant conditions in order to prevent unnecessary aggressive treatments.

Introduction: Tendon injuries of the hand present a diverse spectrum of challenges in emergency medicine, ranging from minor strains to catastrophic ruptures. The superficial anatomy of hand tendons predisposes them to various mechanisms of injury, leading to complex medical scenarios. Here, we present a unique case of flexor tendon exposure secondary to abscess formation and spontaneous rupture, emphasizing the importance of prompt recognition and management of such injuries in the emergency department.
