Hereditary multiple exostosis.
Hereditary multiple exostosis is an intriguing genetic condition with a clinical impact in the field of orthopaedics, paediatrics and oncology. In this review we highlight the current knowledge about this condition from a clinical and scientific point of view. This gives us more insight into the molecular mechanisms and current models on which therapeutic agents are based. It allows for a multi...
متن کاملThe Genetics of Hereditary Multiple Exostosis (HME)
Introduction Hereditary multiple exostosis (HME) is a skeletal disorder characterized by the presence of numerous bony outgrowths (osteochondromas or exostoses) that develop next to the growth plates of all the long bones (Solomon 1963). The most striking clinical feature of HME is the numerous cartilage-capped exostoses, which are associated with the entire skeleton. Skeletal surveys suggest t...
متن کاملRetrograde recanalisation of popliteal artery occlusion.
The increasing prevalence of critical lower limb ischemia is frequently associated with complex tibioperoneal obstructive disease and a high rate of amputation. In this article, we report our recent experience in order to highlight this valuable and underutilised technique, which proved successful in a complicated case where a conventional approach failed.
متن کاملPopliteal artery entrapment syndrome.
Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is a rare but potentially limb threatening peripheral vascular disease occurring predominantly in young adults. We report a case of a 17-year-old boy who presented with intermittent claudication on the right side. Digital subtraction angiography revealed bilateral, focal narrowing of the popliteal arteries. Magnetic resonance imaging displayed compression of...
متن کاملPopliteal artery entrapment syndrome.
Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is an uncommon cause of intermittent claudication in young athletic persons. A 32 years old soldier presented with 14 months history of intermittent claudication. On the basis of history, physical examination and angiographic findings a diagnosis of popliteal artery entrapment was made. Exploration revealed a fibrous band tightly compressing popliteal artery...
