This case report details a caudal unilateral traumatic elbow luxation in a 4-year-old male neutered Labrador following a road traffic trauma. This is a highly unusual injury in the dog. The pathogenesis and successful treatment by closed reduction followed by stabilisation with a temporary transarticular external skeletal fixator are discussed. The dog was assessed at 4 weeks and 6 months after surgery. Findings at 6 months after treatment demonstrated a normal gait with no pain or crepitation. A mild amount of soft tissue thickening around the elbow was noted. The range of motion of the elbow was limited to 45 degrees of flexion and 150 degrees of extension. This is the first case of a traumatic caudal luxation of the elbow in a dog described in the English veterinary literature and the first report of successful management of an elbow luxation in a dog by closed reduction and temporary transarticular fixation.

Tooth brush plays a vital role in the maintenance of oral health and dental hygiene. Regular brushing is widely advocated by dental surgeon in terms of decreasing dental caries and periodontal problems. Though, there has been decrease in diseases due to sequale of poor oral hygiene, at the same time there are also inherent risk of accidental trauma to the surrounding soft tissue during the act of brushing, more commonly when handled by children. This paper presents a case report of a penetrating toothbrush trauma embedded in buccal soft tissue which required surgical intervention in a child patientJournal of Universal College of Medical SciencesVol. 6, No. 1, 2018, Page: 66-68

First Case

This is the first case report of atypical fibroxanthoma in the otolaryngology literature. Atypical fibroxanthoma is a rare fibrohistiocytic tumor that occurs on actinically damaged skin. The typical presentation is a nodular lesion in sun-exposed areas of the head and neck in an elderly patient. Differentiating atypical fibroxanthoma from other soft tissue sarcomas, such as dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and malignant fibrous histiocytoma, can be difficult. Treatment should be wide local excision with a 1-cm margin. In cosmetically important regions in which tissue preservation is important, Mohs' surgery should be considered.

Sclerosing Rhabdomyosarcoma

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue malignancy in children but is rare in adults. The latest World Health Organization classification of soft tissue tumors recognizes embryonal, alveolar, and pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcomas. More recently, a sclerosing variant of rhabdomyosarcoma has been recognized and reported in seven adult patients. We describe a pediatric case of sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma presenting as a sacral mass in a 3-year-old girl. Morphologically, the tumor showed a prominent sclerosing hyaline matrix and demonstrated pseudovascular and microalveolar architectural foci. Focal positivity was seen with desmin, smooth muscle actin, and myogenin. MyoD1 showed uniform diffuse nuclear staining. Fusion transcripts were not demonstrated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis. The histology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular genetics matched those reported in the seven adult cases of sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma. This is the first case report, to our knowledge, of this rare tumor arising in the pediatric age group, and we compare the features with those reported in adult sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma.

Introduction: Segmental tibia fractures with extensive soft tissue injuries are rare and surgical intervention is challenging with no definitive treatment strategies. Case Report: A 52-year-old man presented with closed right segmental tibia and fibula fracture with extensive blistering of skin caused due to road traffic accident. Distal pulses were palpable and there were no signs of compartment syndrome and other systemic injuries. In the presence of extensive blistering, a monoplanar external fixator was applied within 24 h of injury. 3 weeks later, skin condition was conducive for internal fixation, and closed intramedullary multi-locking nailing was performed using the external fixator for reduction. Fracture healed at 15 months and patient had an excellent functional outcome with full knee range of motion at 2-years follow-up without any complications. Conclusion: Fixator-assisted nailing is a simple, minimally invasive, and easily reproducible technique that is useful in reducing the fracture and preventing axial rotation of the intercalary segment minimizing the damage to the periosteal blood supply. Our case also highlights the importance of temporary external fixator in soft tissue healing and making the skin conducive for internal fixation. Keywords: Devascularization, fixator-assisted nailing, intercalary segment, rotational displacement, segmental tibial fracture.

Initial Sign

Metaphyseal burst sign, which is soft tissue edema in the metaepiphyseal region, is defined as a novel initial sign of subchondral insufficiency fracture of the knee (SIFK). We reported the first Iranian case of the SIFK in femoral medial condyle characterized by a metaphyseal burst sign which could be an early sign of the SIFK. Early diagnosis and treatment could dramatically relieve the sign and symptoms of patients with significant improvement of the MRI scan.

Achilles Tendon Lengthening

Stiff equinocavus foot deformities are challenging clinical entities that may be treated with osteotomies and extensive soft-tissue release. The most common causes of such lesions are neglected trauma and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; other causes include burns, neurologic diseases, and compartment leg syndrome. Conventional treatments, including extensive soft-tissue release, osteotomies, and arthrodesis combined with or without internal splinting, may result in severe complications such as neurovascular or soft-tissue damage and shortening of the foot. The Ilizarov technique may be superior to the traditional approach, because it allows surgeons to apply gradual and titrated correction of individual components of complex deformities and results in minimal surgical morbidity without shortening of the foot. This is the first case report in the literature describing the simultaneous use of Cole osteotomy, combined with external Ilizarov hinged frame fixation, soft-tissue release, and Achilles tendon lengthening for the treatment of an extreme neglected stiff equinocavus foot deformity.

Membrane Defects

Glanzmann’s thromboasthenia (GT) is a rare platelet disorder, due to membrane defects involving glycoprotein GP IIb/IIIa complex. Symptoms appear in infancy with episodes of bruising, gingival bleeding, epistaxis, or at the time of menarche acute episode of uterine bleeding. Hormonal therapy and antifibrinolytic agents are first-line treatment. Platelet transfusion is given to control hemorrhage when medical treatment fails. However, repeated transfusions may result in development of platelet refractioness, due to development of antibodies against membrane glycoprotein. Activated recombinant FVII is licensed for use in acute control of bleeding in GT. Here we report a case of acute juvenile uterine bleeding at menarche, which responded successfully to uterine tamponade. To our knowledge, this is the first case report on use of balloon tamponade for control of acute catastrophic juvenile bleeding at menarche.
