Introduction. Posterior knee joint dislocation associated with injury of the popliteal artery in children is an extremely rare condition. Rapid diagnosis and treatment are essential for limb salvage and function. Case report. We reported a 14-year-old boy who suffered traumatic displacement of the right knee and contusion of the popliteal artery during motorcycle accident. The diagnosis was confirmed using Doppler and duplex ultrasonography and digital substraction transfemoral arteriography. The urgent surgical procedure was performed using posterior approach to the popliteal artery. During the surgical exploration, rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament associated with thrombosed popliteal artery have been found. The damaged popliteal artery was resected and replaced with autologous saphenous vein graft. The last stage of the procedure was a transosseous femoral fixation of posterior circuate ligament. A 3-year-follow-up after the surgery demonstrated intact arterial perfusion and very good function of the knee with a minimal difference as compared with the contralateral knee. Conclusion. Combined orthopedic and vascular injuries are very rare in children. They require combined treatment.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.

A 28-month-old first lactation dairy cow presented as ‘oestrus not observed’ and transrectal ultrasound showed a hyperechoic mass on the right ovary. The mass continued to grow despite treatment, and 8 weeks later a right-sided ovariectomy was performed. A single, large, cavitated mass was found on gross pathological examination with histopathology confirming ovarian abscessation and oophoritis, a rare condition in cattle.

AbstractThe authors report a case of popliteal cyst which was detected during the routine dissection of a cadaver in Anatomy Department, Government Medical College, Thrissur, Kerala. The cyst was identified in the right popliteal fossa in a female cadaver arising from the interior of knee joint. It measured 6 cm in length and 3 cm in width. Thick synovial membrane was forming the cyst wall. On deep dissection it was found communicating directly with the synovial lining of knee joint.

Monomelic amyotrophy (MA) is a rare condition in which neurogenic amyotrophy is restricted to an upper or lower limb. Usually sporadic, it usually has an insidious onset with a mean evolution of 2 to 4 years following first clinical manifestations, which is, in turned, followed by stabilization. We report a case of 20-years-old man who presented slowly progressive amyotrophy associated with proximal paresis of the right upper limb, which was followed by clinical stabilization 4 years later. Eletroneuromyography revealed denervation along with myofasciculations in various muscle groups of the right upper limb. We call atention to this rare location of MA, as well as describe some theories concerning its pathophysiology .

Purpose: To present a case of extensive thigh hematoma that developed after use of a percutaneous suturing device for retrograde popliteal artery puncture. Case Report: A 55-year-old woman underwent endovascular treatment for a short occlusion of the right superficial femoral artery via a retrograde popliteal approach, after which the puncture site was closed with a Closer suture-mediated device. Several hours later, massive hematoma of the right thigh developed, which was noticed only after the patient's leg became markedly swollen and hypotension developed. Conclusions: The use of a suture-mediated closure device for a retrograde popliteal artery puncture may not be recommended.

Тhis article presents a clinical case of the surgical treatment of a fracture in the intercondylar eminences of the knee joint in a 7-year-old child. Closed fractures of the intercondylar exaltation are mainly a characteristic of childhood. This type of damage occurs by dysfunction of the knee resulting from instability. Because the fracture of the intercondylar eminences of the knee joint in children is similar to the damage of the anterior cruciate ligament in adults, the current course of knee surgery is a minimally invasive technique. These include fixation of the intercondylar exaltation using video stroboscopy as well as the assistance of various implants (e.g., screw, wire, and Dacron). In the children's Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the Federal Center of Traumatology, Orthopedics and Endoprosthesis Replacement in Barnaul, various surgeries are performed, including arthroscopy of the right knee joint, intercondylar exaltation reposition, and fixation of the intercondylar exaltation latch Lupine (De PuyMitek).

Granulomatous Cheilitis

Introduction: Granulomatous cheilitis is a rare condition, with an unknown etiological pathway, resulting in inflammation of the lips. This case report demonstrates the efficacy of intralesional triamcinolone with this persistent disorder.Case report: A 19-year old man presented with orofacial swelling on the right side for approximately 18 months. Previous treatments of minocycline and metronidazole were unsuccessful. The patient has no other symptoms and an unremarkable family history. A regiment of topical anesthetic and intralesional triamcinolone showed significant improvement.Discussion: This rare condition has many possible contributory factors with very few established treatments. Our patient appeared to present either granulomatous cheilitis or monosymptomatic Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. Our primary goal was to abate the patient’s symptoms for their comfort, hence the implication of the benzocaine gel.Conclusion: There are various therapeutic methods described, however, we believe intralesional triamcinolone injections with prior application of topical anesthetic to ease discomfort, could be an alternative treatment.

Diaphragmatic Hernias

Background. Morgagni hernias are rare in adults and may be asymptomatic but, nevertheless, require surgical repair, with laparoscopy offering an excellent option. The colon dislodged into the chest through diaphragmatic hernias may be affected by various disorders, including malignancies. Case Report. A 70-year-old obese male presented with fatigue and shortness of breath. CT scan showed the right colon lodged in the chest through a Morgagni hernia. He was anaemic, and colonoscopy revealed a colon cancer. He underwent combined laparoscopic hernia repair with bioabsorbable mesh and right hemicolectomy. Recovery was uneventful, but the patient died 5 months later from chemotherapy-associated cardiac failure. Literature review revealed eight similar published cases, and including ours, there were seven Morgagni hernias, one traumatic hernia, and one Bochdalek hernia. Median age of the five men and four women was 66 (range 49-85) years. Surgical approach was thoracotomy (2), laparotomy (5), and laparoscopy (2). Conclusion. Outcome of the rare condition is determined by the course of the colon cancer. Hernia repair was successful in ours and all other published cases. A combined laparoscopic approach can be safely done.
