Unusual Excessive Callus Formation in the Intertrochanteric Fracture Treated with Teriparatide / 대한고관절학회지

This is the first case report on the effects of teriparatide on the course of healing of an intertrochanteric hip fracture with unusually excessive callus formation even after discontinuation of treatment in an elderly woman. This case highlights the long-term effects of parathyroid hormone, even after administration of short-term, intermittent dosages for healing of osteoporotic fracture.

Popliteal Artery Pseudoaneurysm Following Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty

An early diagnosis of popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm-a sequela of popliteal artery trauma-is difficult owing to its late presentation following total knee arthroplasty. The incidence of a popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm with a hematoma presenting only a peripheral nerve injury after total knee arthroplasty is also uncommon in the absence of common diagnostic features such as a pulsatile swelling with an audible bruit on auscultation. In the present report, we describe popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm following total knee arthroplasty.
