Background: Due to difficulty in confirming clinical suspicions of malignancy patients presenting with bone tumours, the cost surgical biopsies where hospital charges are borne almost entirely by patients, competition setters and healing homes high rate loss follow up; we set out find if sufficient material could be obtained arrive at reliable tissue diagnosis radiological evidence tumours our hospitals. Methods: After initial plain radiographic examinations, were sent for fine needle...
Abstract Background Trauma is now one of the fastest growing epidemics globally but low and middle-income countries (LMICs) are more severely affected in terms cost, disability death. The high-energy trauma road traffic accidents violence often produces open fractures which can be difficult to manage resource-poor settings. Adequate stabilization, such as provided by locked nails, has been found ensure better outcome for fractures. There dearth published studies on use intramedullary nail...
Wage earning in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is predominantly through physical labour. Consequently, limb-related disabilities caused by abnormal fracture unions (AFUs) preclude gainful employment perpetuate the cycle of poverty. Many AFUs result from traditional bone-setting (TBS), a pervasive treatment for long bone fractures LMICs. The objective this study was to accentuate expediency solid locked intramedullary nail early restoration victims TBS-induced their pre-injury...
Background: Surgical options for treatment of extremity musculoskeletal tumours include excision [limb sparing] surgery or amputation ablation]. Ablative is advanced when limb salvage not feasible.Objective: To determine the indications ablative in our centre. Method: This a 6 year prospective study patients presenting with at National Orthopaedic Hospital Lagos. Data such as age, gender, complaints, anatomic location tumour, clinical stage, type and adjuvant offered, histologic outcome were...
Angiofibrolipoma is a neoplasm composed of fibrocytes, capillaries and matured adipose tissues. It rare histopathologic variant lipoma, characterized by adipocytes, blood vessels dense collagenous an extremely tumor with very few cases reported in the literature. We are reporting 9-year-old boy who presented right calf swelling noticed since birth, slowly increasing size which became painful about year prior to presentation (at age 8 years). The mass extended from popliteal fossa junction...
Abstract Background While the majority of traumatic injuries occur in low- and middle-income countries, published literature comes chiefly from high-income countries due to poor follow-up. Clinical radiographic post-surgical trauma follow-up is essential high-quality research objective monitoring for healing and/or complications. This study aimed identify predictors non-attendance a low-resource setting investigate extent which interventional efforts based on mobile phone technology (MPT)...
Introduction: Hansen’s disease is a chronic infectious granulomatous caused by Mycobacterium leprae and the organisms affect mainly peripheral nerves skin. The deformities seen in may result from process or paralysis of some muscles due to damage nerve trunk injuries/infection hands feet. Reconstructive surgery for patients one ways eliminating stigma associated with it also helps restoring patient’s ability carry out basic functions. Case Series: Four cases claw fingers resulting ulnar were...
Benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) is a rare skeletal tumour. Its occurrence in the metacarpal bones even rarer. The management this location can be challenging, involving tumour resection and reconstruction. authors present case of BFH second bone.
Cavernous hemangiomas are benign hamartomatous proliferation of endothelial tissues. They can arise virtually anywhere in the body and do not contain tissues native to organ or structure which they located. Contrary what is seen capillary cavernous cutaneous variety, intramuscular almost always never regress. We report a case hemangioma an 18-year-old male Nigerian with swelling left forearm 9 years duration. The progressively increased size nearly involved entire occasional pain no...
Long bone fracture care in developing countries remains largely different from that of the developed world where closed reduction and internal fixation with locked intramedullary nail is standard treatment. This study a country presents pattern outcome treatment 370 long fractures using SIGN over five-year period order to underline wide array patients treatable nail. Using prospective descriptive approach, all 342 humerus, femur tibia treated July 2014 June 2019 were studied. The reduced...
Intramuscular lipomas (IMLs) are uncommon primary adipose tissue tumours deep within the muscle. A high likelihood of misdiagnosing them as other benign and malignant masses necessitates imaging studies to confirm diagnosis plan treatment. Ultrasonography is useful but CT MRI provide a more accurate diagnosis. While diagnostic tests suitable, they may not always be accessible or affordable in low-resource settings. We present three cases IMLs that emphasise difficulties posed by limited...
Life expectancy in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has increased owing to economic growth and improvements medical care. An representation of older people among orthopaedic trauma victims is a significant consequence population ageing, as shown previous studies, including few SSA. This retrospective review Nigeria aims corroborate studies highlight the emergence geriatric (GOT) public health concern Among 241 in-patients aged ≥ 60, mortality rate was 3.7%. They made up 21.2% adult admissions. The...
Introduction: Gouty tophus in a child is an extremely rare presentation. Only very few cases have been documented literature contemporary times.Case presentation: We present this index case of 6-year-old who was brought to the clinic by her parents on account multiple subcutaneous swelling two years’ duration lower limbs before she presented at our outpatient clinic. The swellings started from knee joints and were associated with difficulty walking. A provisional diagnosis soft tissue made...
Numerous challenges hinder the development of multidisciplinary medical education in a resource-constrained environment. Communal tumour boards built through networking could be suitable model for effective management diseases and enhancement education. This study evaluated impact an integrated care pathway patients with musculoskeletal tumours via multi-institutional metropolis. Musculoskeletal managed different institutions large metropolis were included discussion at monthly meetings,...
