Arthroscopic stabilization has proven an effective technique in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability due to soft tissue labrum/ligamentous (i.e. Bankart) injury. However, this procedure has not proven as reliable in patients with glenoid rim fractures that have either been neglected or unrecognized, and gone on to resorb. Consequently, there has been a growing emphasis on the importan...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The epidermoid cyst is a common benign disease of the skin caused by inflammation of hair cortex follicles and proliferation of epidermal cells within the dermis or superficial subcutaneous tissue. The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of epidermoid cysts of the external auditory canal (EAC) by analyzing the clinical and radiologic features. ...

Spontaneous herniation of the temporomandibular joint along a bony defect in external auditory canal is an uncommon condition that may lead to otologic symptoms. A 43-year-old gentleman presented with otalgia and soft tissue lesion, which flattens upon opening jaw. Computed tomography scan temporal region confirmed presence lesion herniated through wall defect. This should be included different...

central cementifying fibroma is a bony tumor, which is believed to be derived from the cells of the periodontal ligament. central cemento‑ossifying fibroma behaves like, a benign bone neoplasm. this bone tumor consists of highly cellular, fibrous tissue that contains varying amounts of calcified tissue resembling bone, cementum, or both. central cemento‑ossifying fibromas of the mandible are co...

endometrial calcification along with ossification is an uncommon clinical entity. most of the cases are asymptomatic or present with secondary infertility. endometrial ossification associated with repeated abortions has been reported very infrequently. here we report a case of endometrial calcification with ossification  due to retained fetal bony tissue in a 38 year old symptomatic female havi...

INTRODUCTION Primary chest wall sarcomas are rare mesenchymal tumors and their mainstay of therapy is wide surgical resection. We report our single-institution, multidisciplinary experience with full-thickness resection for primary chest wall sarcomas. METHODS A retrospective review of our prospectively maintained databases revealed that 51 patients were referred for primary chest wall sarcom...

As a largely under-recognized problem, snapping scapula stems from the disruption of normal mechanics in scapulothoracic articulation. It is especially common in the young, active patient population, and symptoms are frequently seen with overhead and throwing motions. Understanding the anatomy of the scapula and surrounding neurovascular structures is crucial in making a differential diagnosis ...

Metaplastic bony tissue along with hyperplastic mucosal epithelium showing no atypism was detected in biopsy materials from a Yamada type I gastric polyp. The tissue was metaplastic woven bone associated with calcification. Histogenesis of the bone formation is as yet unknown. This is the first reported case of the presence of metaplastic bone accompanied by hyperplastic gastric mucosa so far.

A robust biodegradable hydrogel is constructed from two components containing G4.0 PAMAM and DOPA, which displays excellent interconnected porous 3D networks, higher mechanical strength, low and stable swelling and good biocompatibility. A mouse CSD model in vivo evidences that moderate bone-like tissue and extensive bony tissue are observed when the hydrogel is implanted.
