RATIONALE Osteopoikilosis is a rare and asymptomatic disease of the bone, which is often discovered occasionally on radiography for irrelevant complaints. Characterized by multiple, small, circular, or oval-shaped radiodense lesions, it may be confused with bony metastatic tumors. PATIENT CONCERNS The present study describes a case of a 17-year-old adolescent who suffered from pain and moveme...

INTRODUCTION Metastatic bone disease at extremities is mostly associated with lung, liver, prostat, thyriod or breast malignancies. There for surgeons generally tends to seek for a primary tumor originating from these organs. Herein a case of endometrial adenocarcinoma recurrence that presented with symptoms of tibial pain is described. PRESENTATION OF CASE 59 year-old woman was admitted to o...

abstract   background: fractures of the tibia are important for their commonness and controversy in their management. both conservative and surgical techniques have been introduced in an effort to speed time to :::::union::::: while minimizing the occurrence of complications. standard treatment for low-energy tibial shaft fractures includes closed reduction and cast immobilization. the purpose ...

A 32 kg male monkey was presented with history of accidental irreparable injury over the left hind leg and broken tail since 7 days. Detailed clinical examination revealed foul smelling discharge necrosis sloughing skin at fourth coccygeal vertebrae. The limb fracture from hock joint contamination. Physiological parameters were within normal in range. Under general anesthesia, mid-shaft tibia-f...

Twenty-six children conservatively treated for fracture of the femoral shaft have been reviewed with regard to differences in limb length seven to ten years after the injury. In nine patients the clinical measurements were checked against radiographic measurements of both femora and tibiae. The following conclusions were reached. Nearly two-thirds of the patients had overgrowth of the femur of ...

Tibial shaft fractures are typically the result of high-energy injuries, however bone that has been substantially weakened may be susceptible to fractures without a preceding traumatic incident. Such bone weakening may occur secondary to malignant disease but also in chronic conditions such as Paget's disease. The altered structural properties of Pagetic bone and cellular changes including incr...

Backgroud: The optimal method of humeral shaft fracture fixation remains in debate. With the dramatic success of intramedullary fixation for fractures of the femur and tibia, there was speculation that IM-ILN might be more appropriate for humeral shaft fractures than DCP. There are very few studies comparing intramedullary interlocking nail and dynamic compression plating in fracture shaft of h...

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis is a widely used procedure for the treatment of fractures of the femur and the tibia. For a short time it is also used for the treatment of humeral shaft fractures. Among other advantages, the ambassadors of this technique emphasize the lower risk of nerve injuries when compared to open reduction and internal fixation. We report the case of secondary radi...
