BACKGROUND Trochanteric bursa injections of corticosteroids and local anesthetics have been shown to provide pain relief for the treatment of greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). However, symptom recurrence and incomplete symptom relief are common. The reason for the variation in response is unclear but may be related to disease-, treatment-, or patient-related factors. OBJECTIVE To det...

The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the cases in which a subcoracoid bursa had been detected using various imaging tools, to discuss imaging features among the different modalities, and to correlate our findings with those of associated shoulder joint disorders. In total, 23 cases of subcoracoid bursa diagnosed imaging studies were retrospectively analyzed. Five of these cases...

HYPOTHESIS Does metatarsal pronation exist and, if so, what is its impact? INTRODUCTION Hallux valgus is a deformity associating angulation and a rotational component. The present study sought to investigate the nature and origin of the coronal plane displacement. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective single-center radiological and anatomic study was conducted on 100 feet operated on for hall...

This is the first reported case of sesamoid bone interposition in the interphalangeal joint of the hallux as a complication of closed reduction of a dislocated interphalangeal joint of the hallux. The case also highlights the importance of post-reduction radiographs.

The authors present an case of a thumb metacarpophalangeal joint dislocation which was made complicated by the interposition of the sesamoid bone which required open reduction. The intact volar plate prevented closed reduction. The anatomy and surgical management of this unusual case is described.

Spontaneous rupture of the triceps tendon is a rare injury, 24 cases having been previously reported in the Literature. Patella cubiti is the rare anomaly of a sesamoid bone in the triceps tendon. We report a combination of the two conditions.

The cartilago transiliens is a fibrocartilaginous structure within the jaw muscles of crocodylians. The cartilago transiliens slides between the pterygoid buttress and coronoid region of the lower jaw and connects two muscles historically identified as m. pseudotemporalis superficialis and m. intramandibularis. However, the position of cartilago transiliens, and its anatomical similarities to t...
