Two new species of Neotanais Beddard, 1886 are described from the Korea Deep Ocean Study (KODOS) area in the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone, based on the collections performed on board R/V Onnuri from a depth of 5180 m. Neotanais triqueturus n. sp. is similar to the 'pfaffi group' characterized by pereonites with a swollen distolateral margin, pleonites with mid-ventral spurs and tapered late...

Giant cell tumours (GCT) of the bone are benign, but locally invasive tumours. We present a new case of carpus GCT, involving the triquetrum. The diagnosis required a prior biopsy before doing the block resection. This treatment is the best option to avoid recurrences. We review the literature on this particular lesion in the carpus bone.

Stress fracture of the carpal scaphoid is very rare. We present stress fracture of the scaphoid in an adolescent gymnast who was treated with internal fixation. Key pointsThere is a risk of stress fracture of the scaphoid in gymnast.Internal fixation with a screw is one of the good options for stress fracture of the scaphoid.

Although most recent fractures of the carpal scaphoid unite with immobilisation in a well-fitting plaster, some fail to do so within a reasonable time, say three months. Fractures associated with perilunar dislocation are particularly prone to delay. For these, as well as for fractures showing delayed union or non-union, internal fixation provides a speedy return to activity. Over a period of t...

The wrist is a region that is very vulnerable to injuries of the extremities. Among these injuries, fractures of the pyramidal bone (or triquetrum) in association with dislocation of the hamate and carpal instability are uncommon. They are generally correlated with high-energy trauma and may be associated with neurovascular deficits, muscle-tendon disorders, skin lesions or injuries to other ca...

Macrobrachium aemulum madhusoodani Pillai & Unnikrishnan (2013) was recently described based on material from the Neyyar River, Kerala, India as a new subspecies of M. aemulum (Nobili, 1906). As however, both species and subspecies names are considered part of the species-group for nomenclatorial purposes (ICZN, Art. 45.1), the name is a junior homonym of Macrobrachium madhusoodani Unnikrishnan...

Introduction: Scapholunate ligament injury is rare in children. Most of the cases occur with concomitant distal radius fractures. Complete scapholunate disruption may present with long term pain and disability. Case Report: We present a case of scapholunate injury in a youngest patient reported in literature with this injury. The senior author managed the injury with a modified extra-osseous re...
