Background: Subungual exostosis is a relatively uncommon, slow-growing benign bone tumor that most often affects the toes of young people and has significant impact on quality life. The treatment which essentially based surgical excision with meticulous closure wound while avoiding causes nail dystrophy.

BACKGROUND First rib fractures are considered indicators of increased morbidity and mortality in major trauma. However, this has not been definitively proven. With an increased use of CT and the potential increase in detection of first rib fractures, re-evaluation of these injuries as a marker for life-threatening injuries is warranted. METHODS Patients sustaining rib fractures between Januar...

conclusions along with the technological advancement, different materials are employed according to the size of the cranium defect and the age of the case. the application of split costa cranioplasty for the small cranium defects in the region of patient’s face is the method with the least possibility of complications, and its cosmetic and functional results are quite promising. introduction os...

the ribs are essential structures of the osseous thorax that provide certain significant information and aid interpretation of radiologic images in daily routine practice. intrathoracic rib is a rare congenital anomaly that is usually discovered incidentally, but may cause in vain interventions in case of being unaware. we herein report an intrathoracic rib in a girl whose chest x-ray was stran...

DESIGN Prospective cohort study (Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) Study). SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS 5995 men aged 65 or over recruited in 2000-2 from six US sites; 99% answered mailed questionnaires about falls and fr...

tumours of growth plate origin. Although vascular complications of these are rare, the most commonly reported is a popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm. Most pseudoaneurysms have been related to femoral osteochondromas, with only 3 previous reports of a popliteal pseudoaneurysm secondary to a tibial exostosis. We report a case of a popliteal pseudoaneurysm secondary to a tibial osteochondroma and di...

Here we describe a 28-year-old man with a history of right hip pain for the past 11 years and ankylosing spondylitis for the past 6 months. Imaging studies showed an exostosis in the femoral neck causing femoroacetabular impingement. The patient was diagnosed with coxarthrosis. This case report suggests that femoroacetabular impingement may accelerate the degenerative process in the hip joint.

ketamine is a promising alternative agent for pain control that offers benefit to traditional strategies, particularly in the setting of rib fracture. current pharmacologic therapies have clear adverse effects, and other options may be invasive, cost prohibitive, or marginally effective. we describe three consecutive patients with traumatic injuries including rib fracture for which a ketamine i...
