Lower extremities peripheral neuropathies caused by ganglion cysts are rare. The most frequent location of occurrence is the common peroneal nerve and its branches, at level fibular neck. We report case a 57-year-old patient admitted with foot drop, due to an extraneural upper tibiofibular syndesmosis, compressing deep branch nerve. Although there have been many previous reports intraneural involvement lower limb nerves, our knowledge, this second reported distinctly localized syndesmosis...
There has been a recent increase in the incidence of myositis worldwide. To this date, described almost exclusively children and adolescents. In most cases causative agents are Gram-positive bacteria. When it involves muscles around hip, other differential diagnoses such as septic arthritis transient synovitis need to be excluded amongst others. We present case 16 year old Caucasian male who suffered from pyomyositis his left obturator internus muscle. He was pyrexial at 41°C with rigors...
Spinal accessory nerve palsy may lead to dysfunction or paralysis of the trapezius muscle. Common causes are iatrogenic secondary due trauma, infection tumour. Idiopathic is considered extremely rare. We present case a 42-year-old Caucasian male suffering from unilateral, isolated his ipsilateral There was no related nor any past history surgical procedures. An electromyographic study confirmed idiopathic distal segment spinal nerve.
Suprascapular neuropathy is an uncommon cause of shoulder pain and weakness therefore frequently misdiagnosed. As a consequence, misdiagnosis can include inappropriate conservative treatment or unsuccessful surgical procedure. A rare case reported 54-year-old woman who suffered from suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome. The patient was subjected to arthroscopy the left shoulder, where compression due ossified superior transverse scapular ligament diagnosed. arthroscopic release brought...
Ectopic thymoma is a rare neoplasm, which can be developed in various sites, with the lung being amongst rarest.In this paper, we present case of woman slow-growing ectopic thymoma, stemming from visceral pleura upper lobe left anteriorly, extending into and cardiac wall, invading fatty tissue near pericardium, notably without infiltrating or parenchyma. The was successfully removed via thoracotomy.Ectopic an uncommon neoplasm. To our knowledge, extremely rare.
Background: In the present clinical trial, we compared efficacy and safety of generic clopidogrel besylate (CB) with innovator hydrogen sulfate (CHS) salt in patients eligible to receive clopidogrel. Methods: A prospective 2-arm, multicenter, open-label, phase 4 trial. Consecutive (n = 1864) were screened 1800 enrolled trial randomized CHS or CB. Primary end point was composite myocardial infarction, stroke, death from vascular causes, primary rate bleeding events as defined by Bleeding...

Migration of orthopaedic fixation wires into the thoracic cavity occurs infrequently, but can have dire consequences. Although rare, intrathoracic migration is a serious complication that demands immediate removal. We present case 59-year-old man with an Steinman wire used for treatment shoulder fracture. Surprisingly, was asymptomatic. The successfully retrieved from thorax via thoracotomy. pins and cause fatal complications should be considered as very hazardous. Therefore, if need to...
The os trigonum (OT)-the most common accessory bone of the foot-although usually asymptomatic, may cause posterior ankle impingement syndrome (PAIS), which be a severely debilitating problem for recreational or competitive athletes. aim present study was to evaluate effectiveness arthroscopy and assess outcome in treatment PAIS secondary OT fractures within group young athletes their return previous sports level.From 2011 2018, retrospective review 81 mean age 27.8 years performed. All...
The treatment of large osteochondral lesions the talus (OLTs) is challenging due to poor intrinsic reparative capability damaged articular cartilage. Autologous transfer bone and periosteum has been used successfully in defects animals, therefore it was believed that this technique might show similar results humans. purpose study assess outcome an innovative for autologous transplantation cancellous tibial graft with periosteal OLTs.Forty-one patients (22 females, 19 males), a mean age 34.9...
