Congenital distal tibiofibular synostosis is a very rare anomaly. The cases of congenital tibiofibular synostosis reported in the literature so far have been confined to the proximal tibiofibular joint. We present an unusual case of tibiofibular synostosis that involves the distal part of the tibia and fibula based on characteristic X-ray, CT, and MRI findings.

Tibial shaft fractures are treated surgically by different methods. In the last few years interlocking intramedullary nailing has emerged as a gold standard for tibia fracture. The clinical and radiological outcome is better complications like compartment syndrome, neurovascular injuries, infection, non-union relatively less of tibia. use ILIM nail also shows reduce risk reoperation. Nail consi...

This report describes a case of a 29-year old patient with congenital pseudoarthrosis of the distal tibia previously treated unsuccessfully by a conventional surgical method. Tibial congenital pseudoarthrosis is a rare disease characterized by segmental osseous weakness resulting in deformation of the bone and spontaneous fractures which progresses to a tibial nonunion. In our case we used intr...

High bone mass (HBM), detected in 0.2% of DXA scans, is characterised by a mild skeletal dysplasia largely unexplained by known genetic mutations. We conducted the first systematic assessment of the skeletal phenotype in unexplained HBM using pQCT in our unique HBM population identified from screening routine UK NHS DXA scans. pQCT measurements from the mid and distal tibia and radius in 98 HBM...

Idiopathic osteoporosis (IOP) in premenopausal women is a poorly understood entity in which otherwise healthy women have low-trauma fracture or very low bone mineral density (BMD). In this study, we applied individual trabeculae segmentation (ITS)-based morphological analysis to high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) images of the distal radius and distal tibia to...

We describe two cases of knee deformity in SDS patients surgically treated. In case n.1, because of a severe deformity, an osteotomy of the distal femur was performed by removing a lateral wedge and stabilizing with a staple, plus lateral tibial hemiepiphysiodesis. In case n. 2 first a medial hemiepiphysiodesis of the proximal tibia with Blount staples was performed. After 18 months the staples...

In this study, 42 adult dogs, comprised of 25 males and 17 females, with 18 different morphological types from the heterogeneous population were used. A total 4 osteometric measurements femur tibia taken. After calculating mean standard deviation values dogs (SPSS 21.0 program), T-test was applied to observe significance difference between both sexes. Correlations observed tibia. As a result, r...

BACKGROUND Screws placed in the distal fibula may not have satisfactory purchase during internal fixation of an osteoporotic ankle fracture. Tibia-pro-fibula screws that extend from the fibula into the distal tibial metaphysis provide additional purchase. The purpose of this study was to investigate if purchase of these screws can be enhanced further by injecting calcium sulfate and calcium pho...
