Case. This case report describes the operative management of 16-year-old male with a symptomatic chondroblastoma of the distal femur with breach of the chondral surface. Following appropriate imaging and core needle biopsy, the diagnosis was confirmed histologically. The patient then underwent intralesional curettage and osteochondral allograft reconstruction of the defect. At one-year follow-u...

We report on a 41-year-old man with multiple epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the left foot and ankle. The patient was treated with curettage and fixation with 2 separate plates, but later developed local infection. Owing to the potential for malignancy, below-knee amputation was suggested, but the patient declined and was treated symptomatically with close monitoring. The patient underwent ...

We report a case of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis in a 9-year-old girl. She presented with a 9-month history of gradually worsening pain and swelling in her left foot. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were prescribed but the symptoms persisted. She underwent curettage through a small oval corticotomy window on the first metatarsal bone. The pain and swelling improved promptly ...

BACKGROUND Chalazia, or meibomian cysts, are often seen in general practice. While most can be resolved with a minor operation in a designated procedure room, there is a lack of published literature on the details of the incision and curettage used to treat this condition. OBJECTIVE This article outlines the management and treatment of chalazia in the general practice setting. DISCUSSION Ch...

For real numbers a, b > 1, let ab (also written as a b) denote the result of interpreting a in base b instead of base 10. We define “dungeons” (as opposed to “towers”) to be numbers of the form a b c d . . . e, parenthesized either from the bottom upwards (preferred) or from the top downwards. Among other things, we show that the sequences of dungeons with nth terms 10 11 12 . . . (n− 1) n or n...

Let k 2 Z and let SL 2 (Z) denote the special linear group SL 2 (Z) = a b c d : a; b; c; d 2 Z and ad bc = 1 : A modular form of weight k is an analytic function f de…ned on the complex upper half plane H = fz 2 C : Im(z) > 0g that transforms under the action of SL 2 (Z) according to the relation [1] f az + b cz + d = (cz + d) k f (z) for all a b c d 2 SL 2 (Z)
