ABSTRACT

The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is the primary stabilizer of the patellofemoral joint; its reconstruction has been recommended in adults over the past decade after recurrent patellar instability. However, there has been no standardized technique for reconstruction, therefore, ideal graft and technique for reconstruction are yet undetermined. However, dynamic MPFL reconstruction studies claim to be superior to other procedures as it is more anatomical. This preliminary study aims at assessing the outcomes of MPFL reconstruction in a dynamic pattern using hamstring graft. We performed this procedure in four consecutive patients with chronic patellar instability following trauma. MPFL reconstruction was done with hamstring tendons detached distally and secured to patellar periosteum after being passed through a bony tunnel in the patella without an implant and using the medial collateral ligament as a pulley. In all 4 knees, the MPFL reconstruction was isolated and was not associated with any other realignment procedures. No recurrent episodes of dislocation or subluxation were reported at 24 months followup.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To estimate the height loss in 28 patients who had undergone surgery for scoliosis before skeletal maturity. METHODS: 28 women patients aged 11 to 18 (mean, 15) years underwent Harrington instrumentation, segmental sublaminar wiring, and posterior spinal fusion for idiopathic scoliosis. The patients' mean age at menarche was 13 (range, 10-16) years. Pre- and post-operative radiographs of the spine were taken to determine curve types, the Cobb angle, and the degree of correction. The standing and sitting heights were measured using a flexible steel tape, and the expected standing and sitting heights were derived using formulae. RESULTS: At the final follow up, the mean patient age was 20 (16-32) years. The mean standing height was 155.2 cm and the mean sitting height was 77.4 cm. Using the formulae, the mean expected standing height was 158.4 cm, indicating height loss of 3.2 cm (t=4.6, p=0.0001), and the mean expected sitting height was 79.9 cm, indicating height loss of 2.6 cm (t=3.84, p=0.001). The curve types of the 28 patients were sub-divided as thoracic (n=7), thoracolumbar (n=18), and double major (n=3). Patients with thoracolumbar curves achieved better correction and less loss of standing and sitting heights. Percentage loss of standing and sitting heights were not correlated with the apex of the curve or the degree of correction. CONCLUSION: Height loss after surgery was acceptable in comparison with height loss associated with progression of scoliosis without surgery.

ABSTRACT

Chondrosarcoma is a rare malignant cartilaginous tumour of the bone. It commonly occurs in the pelvis, scapula proximal femur, and shoulder girdle .We present a case of a woman in her 56 years of age with chondrosarcoma of the calcaneum-a rare lesion that accounts for 0.5-2.97% of all chondrosarcomas of other sites. Treatment for chondrosarcoma is generally wide surgical excision. Chemotherapy or radiation is not effective for most of these lesions.

ABSTRACT

Skeletal muscle haemangiomas are uncommon soft tissue tumors; more than 90% are misdiagnosed initially. They present as chronic pain and swelling in a muscle with or without a history of trauma. Plain X-rays, bone scans, computerized tomography (CT) studies, and angiography studies may not always be specific for this tumor. Diagnostic ultrasound is an appropriate initial imaging modality for suspected haemangioma, although magnetic resonance imaging is the investigation of choice. Many treatment modalities for the symptomatic haemangiomas are available of which surgical excision is the most preferred. We present an unusual case of pain, swelling, and restriction of movements in the right knee following an episode of trauma in a 12-year-old boy who was being followed for 1 year by a general practioner and later referred to us. The patient was diagnosed to have intramuscular cavernous haemangioma in the vastus medialis by us for which he was treated by surgical excision and followed for 1 year and found to have no recurrence. The clinical features, radiological picture, pathological histology, diagnostic tools, and treatment options have been discussed.

ABSTRACT

Ankle dislocation without concomitant fracture is a rare phenomenon with only a few cases reported in literature. Our case report presents a male who sustained a closed anterolateral ankle dislocation without fractures following a road traffic accident. The patho-anatomy, principles of management and probable complications of this injury have been discussed.

ABSTRACT

Chronic iliac osteomyelitis classically presents radiologically as an ill defined radiolucent lesion with moth eaten appearance along with periosteal reaction and sequestrum formation. Our case report presents a rare radiological picture of iliac bone osteomyelitis in the form of an expansile mutiloculated lytic lesion.
