The paper describes the technique and application of a tricortical bone graft harvesting from lateral malleolus. Graft does not interfere with continuity fibula. Due to its structure, is equivalent similarly structured taken iliac crest. used in osteotomies arthrodesis within foot ankle joint, which require strong piece as wedge. author typically uses this type for osteotomy anterior part calca...

Early pathologic reports of corpus callosal lipoma described a consistent relationship between the lipoma and the dorsal surface of the corpus callosum, particularly when the lipoma is not associated with corpus callosal agenesis. MR imaging, especially T1-weighted sagittal acquisitions, exquisitely demonstrated this anatomic relationship in three relatively asymptomatic patients. Therefore, in...

colonic lipoma is a benign neoplasm that can lead to colonic obstruction but concomitant intussusception is rare in adults. in this case, colocolic intussusception due to a lipoma in the descending colon had occurred. by laparatomy, we diagnosed the problem , but reduction was impossible . so resection of the colon with mass was done and anastomosed. after surgery and 3 years follow up the pati...

Spindle cell lipoma is a rare lipoma, originates from subcutaneous tissue and mostly seen at back region. In this case report we represent a case with inguinal mass misdiagnosed as inguinal hernia and then diagnosed as spindle cell lipoma. There are two cases in literature with spindle cell lipoma originating from spermatic cord. This case is unique as having both pheochromacytoma and inguinal ...

RATIONALE The calcaneal fracture without broken lateral wall is rare and the open anatomic reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is necessary when the subtalar joint articular surface is broken and collapsed. PATIENT CONCERNS A 45-year-old male was admitted to our department with complaints of heel pain and swelling after falling down from 1-m-high stone. He was unable to bear weight on his ...

a young patient who presented with headache followed by positive and negative symptoms of psychosis and mutism was sent for the mri of brain. mri revealed a lipoma in the quardrigeminal area. we hypothesized that the neuro-vascular encasement of structures located at the upper dorsal midbrain by the lipoma caused the symptoms. a review of the current literature of quadrigeminal lipoma cases wit...

The calcaneus is the most commonly fractured tarsal bone. Displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures are usually caused by a fall from height with one or both heels directly hitting the ground. Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures are complex and highly disabling injuries. There is ongoing debate regarding the optimal treatment for each type of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fra...

Evans calcaneal lengthening osteotomy is a powerful surgical technique utilized in the correction of a flatfoot deformity. The known biomechanical complications associated with performing the calcaneal osteotomy alone involve increased lateral column pressures. The present study involves a patient who developed a sub fifth metatarsal ulceration with weightbearing after an Evans calcaneal osteot...

Pleomorphic lipoma is a rare neoplasm that predominantly occurs in the dermis or subcutis of the posterior neck, upper back, and shoulders. Although pleomorphic lipoma is a benign tumor, it may contain atypical cells. As a variant of spindle cell lipoma, pleomorphic lipoma clinically presents as a slow-growing and well-circumscribed subcutaneous mass. Rarely, some patients have multiple lesions...

OBJECTIVE To assess radiological outcome of management of calcaneal fractures. METHODS The retrospective study was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, and comprised data of calcaneal fractures managed between February , 2008 and February, 2014 Cases were identified through medical records, and X-rays were reviewed through digital radiology archive. Bohler\'s angle, Gissane\'s ...
