Knee Extensor Mechanism

Introduction. Reconstruction of bone defects is a long, challenging process both for the patient and for the treating surgeon. Bone defects frequently occur as a result of aggressive surgical debridement and bone resection in case of acute trauma, open fractures, chronic bone infections, tumors and non-unions. Early amputation is often superior to prolonged attempts at salvage because they can create serious problems in the patients? lives. There are numerous alternative methods of limb-salvage nowadays. Case Report. We report a case of a fifty-year-old man with a distal femoral non-union and a co-existing failure of the knee extensor mechanism, who was treated using an intramedullary segmental defect bridging knee arthrodesis system (Osteobridge). At the final check-up twenty four months later, he had excellent clinical, functional and radiological results. Conclusion. Osteobridge is an excellent knee arthrodesis system, which is preferable to other methods in case of resection of the distal femur along with the failure of the knee extensor mechanism.

Rare Association

Fractures of the supracondylar and intercondylar region of the distal femur usually result from high velocity injury that is uncommonly associated with violation of the integrity of the extensor mechanism. The consequences of missed quadriceps injury associated with a distal femur fracture are devastating. The present case report illustrates the importance of recognizing the rare association of quadriceps tear with distal femoral fractures, an appropriate surgical approach to repair the tear as well as fixation of fracture, and a protocol of postoperative rehabilitation to achieve a successful outcome.

Paediatric Case

Treatment with a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy is known to be associated with oesophageal stricture in both children and adults with malignancies. However, oesophageal stricture resulting from chemotherapy alone is a rare complication, with few reports on it. We experienced a rare paediatric case of oesophageal stricture caused by chemotherapy for osteosarcoma of the left distal femur. After completion of the chemotherapy course, the patient showed dysphagia caused by the oesophageal stricture and underwent balloon dilatation for the oesophageal stricture. After balloon dilatation, he was able to ingest solid foods, and the oesophagus was normal without any strictures at the last follow-up (20 months after ballooning). Therefore, oesophageal stricture should be considered as a complication of treatment with chemotherapy alone in children with malignancies.
