Temporary Bridging of Severe Medial Column Injury of the Foot using Internal Fixation
We report a case of severe midfoot crush injury that was treated with temporary bridging fixation using a low-profile locking plate. It is an evolving technique that solves the problems of external fixation, and a stable construct can be achieved for early weight bearing.

Report of a Rare Case of Hand Bony Involvement of Sarcoidosis in a Chinese Young Man
Publication date: December 2014 Source:Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation, Volume 18, Issue 2 Author(s): Shiu-Him Jonathan Yuen, Chi-Pan Simon Yuen Musculoskeletal involvement of sarcoidosis is a rare entity, reported to have an incidence of 1–13%. Here we describe a case of sarcoidosis, with a history of finger sprain after a trivial injury, and incidental finding of multiple bony involvement over the left hand after radiography and magnetic resonance imaging.

Congenital Thenar Hypoplasia with Absent Radial Artery: A Case Report
We report a case of a boy with isolated right-sided congenital thenar hypoplasia meeting the clinical and radiological characteristics of Cavanagh syndrome with concurrent absence of the right radial artery. (Source: Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation)

Ossified Thoracic Spinal Meningioma with Lamellar Bone Formation presented with Paraparesis
We report a rare case of ossified spinal meningioma. A 64-year-old lady presented with spontaneous onset of myelopathic symptoms for 1 year. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) preoperatively showed a crescentic calcification, which represents an ossified/calcified component of the intradural extramedullary meningioma. We were able to resect the meningioma successfully with T8–T10-level laminectomy. Postoperatively, there was a significant improvement on the myelopathic symptoms.

Exostosis of the Foot: Clinical Features and Outcome After Surgery
Conclusion Osteochondroma and subungal exostosis are not uncommonly encountered diagnoses for bony outgrowths occurring over the foot region. Surgical outcome was satisfactory. (Source: Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation)

Locking Plate for AO Type C Intra-articular Distal Radius Fracture: Volar or Dorsal Approach?
Conclusion The volar approach group demonstrated better range of motion and functional score. The complication rates were similar between the two groups. The volar surgical approach should be adopted in most operative cases of AO type C intra-articular fracture distal radius while the dorsal approach should be reserved for intra-articular fracture with dorsal comminuted fragments.

The Clinical Outcome of Management of Periprosthetic Infection in Total Knee Replacement
Conclusion The incidence of TKR infection in our hospital is comparable to the reported incidence in the literature. This study also showed that a two-stage operation has a higher success rate in the management of chronic TKR infection. (Source: Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation)

Strategies for Revision Total Ankle Replacement
Publication date: December 2014 Source:Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation, Volume 18, Issue 2 Author(s): Thomas S. Roukis As the frequency of primary total ankle replacement (TAR) continues to build, revision will become more commonplace. At present there are no “standard principles” associated with revision TAR. What is clear is that the current approaches are technically complex, fraught with complications and no one approach represents the only answer. Exchange of TAR metallic components to the same system standard or dedicated revision components are viable options with limited occurrence of c...

Factors Affecting Postsurgery Hip Fracture Recovery
Publication date: December 2014 Source:Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation, Volume 18, Issue 2 Author(s): Sydney Wallace, Betty Jo Ellington After hip fracture surgery, patients seldom return to their prefracture functional state and there is a 43% rate of mortality and institutionalisation of postsurgery hip fracture patients. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify preoperative, perioperative, postoperative, and psychosocial factors that may hinder postsurgery hip fracture patients from returning to previous functionality. Factors that were identified as being associated with posts...

Unrecognised Acute Rupture of the Achilles Tendon in Severe Ankle Sprain
Publication date: Available online 5 March 2015 Source:Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation Author(s): Kin Wai Lam, Tun Hing Lui Inversion ankle sprain is a common sport injury. It commonly refers to the injury of lateral collateral ligaments of the ankle. Failure to detect the concomitant injuries would lead to inappropriate treatment and suboptimal result. A case of unrecognised rupture of the Achilles tendon in a patient with severe inversion ankle sprain was reported. (Source: Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation)

Irreducible Radial Dislocation of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint of a Finger
Publication date: June 2015 Source:Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation, Volume 19, Issue 1 Author(s): Wei Loong Sean Ho, Y.C. Winston Chew Dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) are often easily reduced with closed reduction and manipulation. Irreducible PIPJ dislocations are rare. They can be caused by soft tissue interposition, with interposition of the lateral band being very rare. Clinical signs may be nonspecific, with subtle changes on imaging. In our case, we highlight the clinical signs, imaging, and operative findings in an irreducible radial dislocation of the PIPJ. (Sour...

Persistent Symptomatic Knee After Total Knee Replacement. Is Knee Arthroscopy Helpful?
We present three cases of knee arthroscopy following TKR to illustrate the effectiveness of arthroscopy for the diagnosis and treatment of persistent symptomatic knee. It is concluded that arthroscopy after TKR is a relatively safe and effective procedure for well selected cases with persistent symptoms following TKR.
