Abstract:

We present a 23-year-old man with distal humerus osteoid osteoma referring to our hospital with pain and progressive stiffness. The patient has been suffering from the disease for two years without a certain diagnosis. The radiographies of elbow did not reveal the pathology but further CT scan and MRI studies demonstrated the tumor. The en block resection of the tumor resolved the pain immediately but range of motion remained restricted.

Multicentric Osteoid Osteoma Presenting a Diagnostic Dilemma

We present a case of a relatively common benign tumor that was a diagnostic dilemma because of its atypical appearance in multiple imaging modalities. Our patient was a 22-year-old man who presented with complaint of three months of shin pain with running. The radiographically demonstrated sclerotic lesion in his right tibia initially was thought most likely to be a stress fracture, but on furt...

Scoliosis secondary to lumbar osteoid osteoma

RATIONALE Lumbar osteoid osteoma has a low incidence, which could easily lead to scoliosis. PATIENT CONCERNS Scoliosis secondary to lumbar osteoid osteoma could be easily misdiagnosed when patients do not complain of obvious symptoms. DIAGNOSES We reported a case of a 9-year-old boy with back deformity that was firstly diagnosed with scoliosis at the local hospital. After prescribed with or...

Maximal frequency, amplitude, and elbow joint stiffness in cyclic movements

Most of research projects on cyclical motor activity focus on locomotion. They provide ambivalent data on the considered theme. Saito et al. [1] present the results of their research on the relationship between step length and frequency in sprint, which was not a decreasing one. Laurent and Pailhous [2] observed that step length and frequency both correlate with walking speed but are relatively...

A posterior approach to the elbow joint.

We describe a posterior approach to the elbow which combines the advantages of both splitting and reflecting the triceps. It gives protection to the ulnar nerve and its blood supply during the operation while providing excellent exposure of the distal humerus. During closure, the triceps muscle can be tensioned, thereby improving stability of the elbow. This approach has particular relevance to...
