Verrucous hemangioma is a rare vascular malformation consisting of a proliferation of dilated blood vessels of different sizes that occupy the dermis and hypodermis. The epidermis of the affected area shows a strong proliferative reaction that presents as a warty appearance. Here, we report the case of a 17-year-old male who presented with an asymptomatic warty growth above the lateral malleolu...

Gout is a well known metabolic disorder characterized by the formation of urate crystals in joints resulting in recurrent attacks of acute inflammatory arthritis following which tophi can occur in joints or subcutaneous tissues. We report a rare localization of gouty tophi in a 52 years old male. The tophi had formed over the stainless steel implant used for the fixation of a lateral malleolus ...

A 6‐year‐old, non‐obese girl presented to the paediatrics outpatient department with a history of multiple, yellowish plaques, papules, and nodules over the body for past 1 year with a gradual increase in size. These lesions involved the bilateral elbow, knee, knuckle, lateral malleolus, gluteal region, and left upper eyelid and were associated with itching [Figure 1a‐d]. The nodules over the k...

BackgroundAnkle sprains are one of the most common injuries amongst general population and affect all spectrums activity levels. While anterior talofibular calcaneal fibular ligaments prevalently injured during there instances when chronic lateral ankle instability leads to rotational attenuate deltoid ligament. The few literature that exists concerning medial ligament reconstruction focus on a...

© 2017 Indian Dermatology Online Journal | Published by Wolters Kluwer Medknow A 7‐year‐old boy presented with a pigmented and itchy lesion over the right lateral malleolus. The lesion appeared during infancy and had shown slow and progressive growth to attain the present size. The child reported occasional bleeding from the pigmented surface following minor trauma. On examination, a solitary d...

BACKGROUND Free vascularized fibular flaps are commonly used in jaw reconstruction. CT scan images of the fibula are used in digital planning of jaw reconstruction. In order to fully describe the anatomy of the fibula, an imaging study of the fibula was undertaken. The purpose of the present study was to examine the anatomical structure of the fibula using patient CT images. METHODS The CT sc...

BACKGROUND Delayed or incomplete fasciotomy may result in limb loss or even death in severe polytrauma.1 The angiosomal blood supply of the anterior compartment renders it particularly vulnerable if not correctly decompressed.2 Swelling and local trauma distort anatomy significantly, making it possible to ‘miss’ the intended compartment without some simple means of double-checking. The anterior...

Background: The study of Dorsalis pedis artery and variations in its branching pattern has been reported sporadically. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the arterial. Supply on the dorsum of the foot. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out of forty dissected limbs of unknown sex and age from the department of Anatomy, JSS Medical College Mysuru. Results and Discussion: The inc...

While there are several manuscripts describing the articular surfaces of the ankle joint and the fibula itself, there is no study describing the outer surface and the degree of curvature of the fibular malleolus. This paper aims to approximate the sagital curvature of the outer surface of the lateral malleolus mathematically. Such data would facilitate the design of the anatomic plate that can ...
