This report presents two pediatric cases of post-traumatic high-flow priapism managed using a conservative approach. The first case involved a six-year-old boy who developed a persistent, painful penile erection three days after sustaining perineal trauma from a seesaw incident. Color Doppler ultrasonography revealed an arteriovenous fistula with a localized hematoma. The second case involved a five-year-old boy who presented with a persistent, painless erection following a bicycle-related groin injury; Doppler ultrasonography confirmed a high-flow arteriocavernosal fistula. Both patients were managed with intermittent penile shaft compression administered in two‑hour cycles (compression followed by release, with immediate decompression upon discomfort). Follow-up duplex ultrasonography at two weeks confirmed the resolution of the fistula, and both patients remained asymptomatic for at least three months. These cases illustrate that a conservative management strategy can serve as an effective alternative to invasive interventions in pediatric post-traumatic high-flow priapism.

This paper reports on two cases of post-traumatic osteomyelitis (OM) caused by in immunocompetent patients, a rare but severe condition. , a gram-negative bacterium typically found in aquatic environments, is seldom reported as a cause of OM. The first case involved a 42-year-old male with a Gustilo-Anderson grade II open tibial fracture exposed to sewer water, leading to persistent infection despite initial treatment.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a widespread, serious public health concern with substantial lasting effects, such as impacting the endocrine system. Here, we review the complications and consequences of TBI on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis (HPA) and connected endocrine glands, which are essential for maintaining body balance. Endocrine dysfunctions caused by TBI, especially hypopituitarism, can result in hormonal imbalances that impact various physiological systems, such as growth, metabolism, reproduction, and stress responses.

Senile scleral plaques are localized, calcified deposits typically occurring bilaterally in elderly patients and are often asymptomatic. They usually appear near the insertion of the rectus muscles and are associated with age-related changes in the sclera. In rare cases, a senile scleral plaque can occur unilaterally and may mimic the appearance of an intraocular foreign body (IOFB) especially in a post-traumatic case.

Introduction: Although the surgical techniques and functional outcomes of conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are well-established, there is limited data available on robotic arm-assisted TKA (RATKA) in the context of valgus knee arthroplasty. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of RATKA in the correction of moderate to severe valgus knee deformities using minimally constrained implants and to evaluate the short-term functional outcomes associated with this technique.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted on patients with moderate to severe grade valgus knee deformity who underwent RATKA from August 1, 2020 to May 31, 2022.
