A Rare Case of Synovial Chondromatosis in the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint of the Right Index Finger.
Cureus
August 2024
Orthopaedics, Dr. D.Y Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University), Pune, IND.
Article Synopsis
- Synovial chondromatosis, or Reichel syndrome, is a rare condition affecting monoarticular joints, characterized by the growth of cartilage and the formation of small calcified loose bodies within the joint.
- The condition can lead to severe joint dysfunction if untreated, commonly impacting larger joints like the knee and hip, but sometimes affecting smaller joints like those in the fingers.
- A case study of a 60-year-old woman with pain and swelling in her finger led to surgical intervention, which successfully removed the calcified loose bodies, followed by rehabilitation to restore motion.
Cementless, Cruciate-Retaining Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Conventional Instrumentation: Technical Pearls and Intraoperative Considerations.

September 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland.
Article Synopsis
- Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgical procedure for patients with severe knee osteoarthritis, especially when non-surgical treatments fail, leading to significant improvements in pain, function, and quality of life.
- The procedure can use various components (cemented, cementless, or a hybrid) and is generally performed with a focus on mechanical alignment, although newer alignment strategies like gap and kinematic balancing are showing promising results in early studies.
- The preferred surgical technique for cementless TKA involves a specific patient positioning and incision approach, starting with the application of a thigh tourniquet and a parapatellar incision, ensuring proper alignment and access during the surgery.*
A Case of Atraumatic Acute Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Requiring Emergency Surgery.
Cureus
September 2023
Orthopedic Surgery, Akita University Graduate School of Medicine, Akita, JPN.
Acute carpal tunnel syndrome (ACTS) is an urgent condition in which symptoms progress rapidly on an hourly basis, and emergency surgery may be required to treat it. ACTS often occurs after a traumatic event such as a fracture of the distal radius, and rarely occurs non-traumatically. We present a case of a 60-year-old male with ACTS secondary to acute synovitis due to rheumatoid arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by hypertrophic synovitis destroying the involved joints. If medical treatment fails to control the synovitis, synovectomy is a worthwhile prophylactic procedure that might help to delay further distention of the joint capsule and ligament. Synovitis of the proximal interphalangeal joint is usually performed by an open approach.

Oper Orthop Traumatol
December 2023
Department of Hand and Wrist Surgery, Maasstad Hospital Rotterdam, Maasstadweg 21, 3079 DZ, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Objective: To describe the indications, operative technique, and long-term outcomes of patients treated with the Scheker (Aptis) distal radio-ulnar joint (DRUJ) prosthesis.
Indications: The Scheker prosthesis is intended to replace the DRUJ in patients with rheumatoid, degenerative, or posttraumatic arthritis of the sigmoid notch and/or ulnar head, or in cases of gross instability of the DRUJ. Moreover, a Scheker prosthesis can be used to treat failed salvage procedures, such as the Sauvé-Kapandji procedure, ulnar head resection, and ulnar head arthroplasty.
