A severely displaced metaphyseal fracture of the proximal humerus with dislocation of the shoulder in a child / 中华创伤杂志(英文版)

Fracture of the proximal humerus metaphysis with coexistent dislocation of the shoulder in children is a rare injury. The injury often occurs as a consequence of high velocity trauma. Most fractures of the proximal humerus commonly associated with the epiphysis in children can be treated with closed reduction. We presented a case of 5-year-old girl who sustained this type of fracture- dislocation of the shoulder. Open reduction and internal fixation with multiple smooth K-wires was performed. At two years follow-up, the patient was pain free and regained full range of motion.

Trans-Scaphoid Perilunate Dislocation with Fractured Carpal Bones in a Child: A Case Report / 대한정형외과학회잡지

Transcarpal fractures and dislocations in children are rarely reported in the orthopedics literature. This is a case report of a 10-year-old boy who sustained a trans-scaphoid perilunate dislocation with fractures across the carpal structure: these included injuries to the capitate and triquetrum bones. Treatment consists of a closed reduction for the dislocation and using the dorsal approach, an open reduction with internal fixation of the fractures. The injury healed well with a full return of good wrist function. This unusual pattern of injury is described so that it may be more readily appreciated in the future.

Pachydermodactyly [Benign digital fibromatosis]

23 years old man presented with 15 years history of persistent painless thickening of skin of the dorsal and lateral aspects of the proximal interphalangeal joints of both hands, no family history of similar illness, X-ray of both hands shows only soft tissue swelling, and histopathological examination shows hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, and thickened dermal collagen bundles

Tumoral Calcinosis of the Foot: MRI & Histologic Findings; Two Cases Report / 대한족부족관절학회지

Tumoral calcinosis is rarely encountered disease, and most of reported cases involved large joints such as hip or elbow. We report two patients with tumoral calcinosis in the foot. In the 1st case, the lesion was observed at the 1st MP joint of foot, and in the 2nd case it was found at the DIP joint of 5th toe area with bony erosion which is rare in other tumoral calcinosis. They all needed evaluation with MRI, and eventually surgical excision.
