Intra-articular calcaneal fracture as a skiing injury in children is extremely rare. We report on what we believe is a unique and previously unreported mechanism of a skiing injury, which caused intra-articular calcaneal fracture in a young competing skier, a member of the Croatian national ski team. This 14-year-old boy sustained a heel injury while training for giant slalom. There was no fall...

The purpose of this paper is to advocate simple calcaneal osteotomy as an effective treatment to relieve fatigue, improve shape and prevent abnormal shoe wear in patients with mobile flat foot. It is reserved for those cases in which conservative measures have failed and the symptoms warrant surgical treatment. The concept of calcaneal osteotomy is an old one. The first description was given by...

Calcaneal tuberosity fractures comprise only 1 to 2% of all calcaneal fractures. Treatment of these injuries has traditionally included open reduction and internal fixation with various means including lag screws, suture anchors and K-wires. We report on a series of cases treated with excision of the tuberosity frag ment with repair of the Achilles tendon supplemented by a flexor hallucis longu...

The authors report a rare observation of 60-year-old woman presenting with giant thenar lipoma associated acroparesthesia due to compression the median nerveby lipoma. MRI is exam choice study local extent tumor, histological examination after complete excision tumor remains only means diagnostic affirmation.

OBJECTIVES Variations in sex hormones and the calcium balance can influence bone health in men. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between the calcaneal speed of sound and biochemical determinants of bone mass, such as sex hormones, parathyroid hormones and serum calcium. METHODS Data from 549 subjects from the Malaysian Aging Male Study, which included Malay and Chinese men ...

Lipoma is a common benign tumor affecting the soft tissues arising in every location where fat is normally present. About 15% of lipomas occur in head and neck region. The lipoma of parotid gland is a rare entity, comprising 0.6% 4.4% of all parotid tumors. The etiology remains unclear. The case described a lipoma of the superficial lobe of the parotid gland in a 46-year-old male.

Incidentally, a lesion in the right upper pulmonary lobe was found in a 74-year-old male patient. The flexible bronchoscopy revealed an endobrochial lipoma in the right lower lobe as the only pathological finding. Due to multiple co-morbidities, no intervention was performed initially. Since the endobronchial lipoma increased in size during follow-up, it was removed by cryoextraction. This case...
