Bilateral recurrent discloation of the patella associated with below knee amputation: A case report

Limb Loss Caused by Thrombosis led to the Diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis

Arterial thrombosis associated with ulcerative colitis usually occurs in the postoperative period with a good response to anticoagulant therapy and embolectomy. Our patient was a 14-year-old girl with ulcerative colitis who presented with bilateral pulsless extremities, which did not respond to medical treatment and embolectomy. Subsequent colectomy did not save her limbs. The repeated thrombos...

Giant cell tumor of patella: A case report and review of literature

Objective: Patella is a sesamoid bone which develops in the quadriceps tendon. It is an uncommon site for neoplasms. The most common primary tumors which involve patella are benign. These include chondroblastoma, giant cell tumor (GCT) and aneurysmal bone cyst. Malignant lesions are less common in patella. These encompass metastasis, osteosarcoma and hemangioendothelioma. The most common compla...

Genu recurvatum following below knee amputation for congenital tibial pseudarthrosis

We report a case of premature arrest of the proximal tibial apophysis leading to genu recurvatum deformity following below knee amputation for congenital tibial pseudarthrosis. In the literature there are reported cases of genu recurvatum following early growth arrest at the proximal tibial apophysis, these typically followed fracture, skeletal traction or surgery and we believe this to be the ...

LATE ARTERIAL REPAIR FOR LOWER LIMB OR KNEE SALVAGE

The objective of this report is to prove that even after development of ischemic necrosis of the muscles and nerves, we can still save the extremity or the knee and even several days after arterial injury, perform arterial repair and other mentioned procedures. Thus we can retain a functionally satisfactory leg or knee joint, which is far better than classic above-knee amputation and utili...
