Stress fractures of the proximal tibia metaphysis are rare in the elderly. We present a case of a 65-year old male who developed sequential proximal tibia stress fractures associated with prolonged usage of methotrexate and prednisolone within a span of 18 months. Magnetic Resonance Imaging revealed an incomplete stress fracture involving the medial proximal tibial region. The patient was treat...

Tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures represent a small proportion of proximal tibial in dogs. We distinguish between different types this trauma. This disease is commonly encountered young and skeletally immature animals. In the past, dogs with were not treated, which resulted chronic lameness. At present, various therapeutic methods are available for managing disease. The aim article was to pr...

Keypoints: • Osteosarcoma of the proximal tibia osteosarcoma accounts for 5-6% of all appendicular osteosarcoma cases. • Prevalence of osteosarcoma following TPLO surgery is unknown but is suspected to be <1% of all appendicular osteosarcoma cases . Spontaneous osteosarcoma (OSA) is the most common primary bone tumor in dogs. It occurs in middle aged to older large and giant breed dogs. Appendi...

OBJECTIVES Oral and maxillofacial defects often require bone grafts to restore missing tissues. Well-recognized donor sites include the anterior and posterior iliac crest, rib, and intercalvarial diploic bone. The proximal tibia has also been explored as an alternative donor site. The use of the tibia for bone graft has many benefits, such as procedural ease, adequate volume of cancellous and c...
