BACKGROUND: After undergoing fibula-free flap harvest, patients may experience complications such as ankle instability. It remains unclear whether these patients have deficits of proprioception, and the recovery process is also uncertain. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to objectively evaluate proprioception on the donor and normal side of surgical patients during long-term follow-up using the Pro-kin system. METHODS: This study enrolled 36 patients who underwent reconstruction of the head and neck using osseous free flaps harvested from the fibula...

BACKGROUND: Radiolucencies found at the root apex in patients with cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) may be mistaken for periapical cysts (PC) of endodontic origin. The purpose of this study was to examine the utility of quantitative texture analysis using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to differentiate between COD and PC. METHODS: Patients who underwent CBCT at Wonkwang University Daejeon Dental Hospital between January 2019 and December 2022 and were diagnosed with COD and PC by clinical, radiologic, and, if necessary, histopathologic examination were included...

A 62-year-old male presented with pain and haematuria starting 3 months before. The computed tomography showed focal and mural bladder thickening with ureteropelvic dilatation. The following transurethral bladder resection revealed a high-grade muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma. In the subsequent cystoprostatectomy we found the same tumour, but adding focal tumour-associated stromal osseous metaplasia. Ossifying metaplasia is an extremely rare feature in urothelial carcinoma, with a few reported cases and represents a diagnostic challenge, mimicking radiotherapy-induced sarcoma or sarcomatoid carcinoma...

Cemento-osseous dysplasia is a subgroup of fibro-osseous dysplasia commonly invading the tooth-bearing regions of the mandible quite often. These bony pathologies are asymptomatic and are seen on radiographs as an incidental finding. Accurate diagnosis of periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia is very crucial as it will help in the proper management of the patient as the incorrect diagnosis can lead to the unnecessary endodontic treatment of the concerned teeth as it may be misdiagnosed as a periapical pathology...

In daily practice, clinicians come across certain radiographic abnormalities which may or may not be asymptomatic. This abstract discusses radiographic abnormalities encountered by clinicians in daily practice, some of which resemble endodontic lesions. Prompt attention is crucial as these lesions can be benign or malignant. The article emphasizes the importance of differential diagnosis for accurate identification of periapical pathosis.

Postoperative discitis (POD) accounts for 20% to 30% of all cases of pyogenic spondylodiscitis, while POD may be mis-or-under-diagnosed, due to the vague related symptomatology and the non-specific imaging findings. Most studies report infection rate of less than 1%, which increases with the addition of non-instrumented fusion to 2.4% to 6.2%. It remains controversial whether POD is caused by an aseptic or infectious process. Positive cultures are presented only in 42-73% of patients with Staphylococcus species being the most common invading organisms, while Staphylococcus aureus is isolated in almost 50% of cases...

Tuberculosis (TB) remains endemic in South Africa. The spine, hip, and knee joints are common extra-pulmonary TB sites. Sound history taking, clinical examination, and basic laboratory and pathological tests remain key important steps in osteoarticular TB diagnosis. In our resources-stricken context cost is everything, if we can make a diagnosis cheaply that would go a long way. The diagnostic yield of standard laboratory tests compared to a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for osteoarticular TB diagnosis in a single orthopaedic unit has not been analysed...

Arthroscopic-assisted anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction follows standardized protocols. Multiple fixation techniques are known. Discussion has been raised about osseus fixation and integration. To improve a biological osseous fixation of the anterior cruciate ligament transplant, a Press-Fit-Hybrid technique has been developed. The basic principle is to recycle bony cylinders obtained from the femoral and tibial tunnel to fix the transplant in the femoral and tibial tunnel. In addition to the biological advantage, there are additional economic benefits, such as no extra fixation material is necessary compared with common fixation techniques, and the overall surgical procedure requires minimal effort...

OBJECTIVE: Congenital anomalies of the atlanto-occipital articulation may be present in patients with Chiari malformation type I (CM-I). However, it is unclear how these anomalies affect the biomechanical stability of the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) and whether they are associated with an increased incidence of occipitocervical fusion (OCF) following posterior fossa decompression (PFD). The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of condylar hypoplasia and atlas anomalies in children with CM-I and syringomyelia...

CASE: A 27-year-old woman developed capitellar osteonecrosis after long-term corticosteroid use to treat non-Hodgkin lymphoma. She underwent an osteochondral reconstruction using a lateral femoral condyle (LFC) allograft. This graft was selected because it has a similar radius of curvature to the capitellum. The patient had osseous integration, painless, near full range of motion of her elbow 6 months postoperatively and good shoulder function 1.0 year postoperatively. CONCLUSION: The LFC allograft should be considered a viable option in treating capitellar osteonecrosis...
