Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia is the most prevalent pediatric hematologic malignancy. The treatment for this illness has advanced significantly, now touting a 90% cure rate. Although these patients often become disease free, treatment can leave devastating effects that last long after their disease burden is alleviated. A commonly experienced result of treatment is osteonecrosis (ON), often occurring in weight bearing joints. Uncertainty exists in the optimal treatment of this cohort of patients. In this review, we describe the etiology and suspected pathogenesis of ON, as well as treatment options described in the literature...

CASE: A 62-year-old woman presenting with ankle pain was initially treated for a non-displaced fracture. Persistent pain despite months of conservative management for her presumed injury prompted repeat radiographs which demonstrated the progression of a lytic lesion and led to an orthopedic oncology referral. Following a complete work-up, including biopsy and staging, she was diagnosed with colorectal carcinoma metastatic to the distal fibula. CONCLUSION: Secondary tumors of the fibula are uncommon but an important diagnosis to consider for intractable lower extremity pain especially in patients with history of malignancy or lack of age-appropriate cancer screening...

Since the recognition of MPFL as the primary soft-tissue restraint to lateral displacement of the patella, its reconstruction gained popularity either alone or in combination with other procedures. Today, although there are plenty of techniques described in the literature, there is no consensus regarding which one is better. MPFL reconstruction using an endobutton device has been proved to be a reliable option with satisfying clinical results. Single or dual tunnel can be done depending on surgeon's preference...

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) are bone-forming spinal conditions which inherently increase spine rigidity and place patients at a higher risk for thoracolumbar fractures. Due to the long lever-arm associated with their pathology, these fractures are frequently unstable and may significantly displace leading to catastrophic neurologic consequences. Operative and non-operative management are considerations in these fractures. However conservative measures including immobilization and bracing are typically reserved for non-displaced or incomplete fractures, or in patients for whom surgery poses a high risk...

Osteopetrosis, a rare condition arising from osteoclast dysfunction, is characterised by increased bony density and obliteration of the intramedullary canal. While total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is preferred for osteoarthritic patients with osteopetrosis, inherent disease characteristics pose surgical challenges. This article presents a patient with osteopetrosis treated with robotic arm-assisted TKA (RA-TKA). This approach provided precise bone resection, obviates the need for intramedullary guides, minimizes saw disposal, and reduces surgical duration, with satisfactory short-term outcomes...
