A case of trauma-induced pancreatitis with subsequent intraosseous fat necrosis and infarction is presented. The young patient demonstrated multiple cortical lytic lesions of the lower extremities and bilateral sterile joint effusions. Several radiographic modalities were employed in the workup of his disease. Related findings and pathophysiologic considerations are reviewed.

Background: Malignant dysgerminomas are infrequently reported ovarian neoplasms in animals, especially in exotic pets (non-traditional companion animals [NTCAs]). In the few published case reports on reptilian species, examples are primarily postmortem without antemortem (clinical) assessment.
Patient Presentation: An adult, 13-year-old, spayed female inland bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) presented with lethargy, a right-sided head tilt, unilateral exophthalmos and ventrotemporal strabismus on the right eye.

Background: A major catastrophic adverse event after total joint arthroplasty surgery (TJA) is the periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). In the recent years, regional antibiotic prophylaxis has gained momentum as a novel infection control strategy in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with different purported benefits over systemic administration. The current article was planned to comprehensively review the available evidence in literature; as well as compare the safety and effectiveness of intraosseous (IO) antibiotic prophylaxis with systemic prophylaxis in patients undergoing TJA.

Introduction: Intraosseous (IO) administration of medication, fluids and blood products is accepted practice for critically injured patients in whom intravenous access is not immediately available. However, there are concerns that high intramedullary pressures resulting from IO infusion may cause bone marrow intravasation and subsequent fat embolisation. The aim of this systematic review is to synthesise the existing evidence describing fat intravasation, fat embolism and fat embolism syndrome (FES) following IO infusion.
