RESUMO
In this article, we present two middle-aged female patients with ulna fracture or medial meniscal tear resulting from dog-related injuries, which are not common. Both patients mentioned that pain started after their dogs pulled away their collar ropes strongly and suddenly. Both patients had postmenopausal osteoporosis and degenerative osteoarthritis. For this reason, ulna fracture and meniscus tear had developed with low-energy trauma resulting from dog-related injuries.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a benign proliferative tumor of the synovium. It is very rare, and most cases occur in the knee joint. In this article, we report a case of localized pigmented villonodular synovitis in the knee joint of a 14-year-old boy. This condition is rare in the knees of the children. We preferred to remove the tumor with arthrotomy instead of arthroscopy for two reasons: (i) the patient was obese, (ii) we thought that recurrence risk was high after arthrotomy.
