    Abstract Stable and painless elbow motion is essential for activities of daily living. The elbow joint is the second most commonly dislocated joint in adults. The goals of treatment are to perform a stable fixation of all fractures, to achieve concentric and stable reduction of the elbow and to provide early motion. The treatment modality for complex elbow instability is almost always surgical. The treatment objectives are anatomic reduction, stable fixation, and early rehabilitation of the elbow. The common complications of these unstable fractures include recurrent instability, stiffness, myositis ossifications, heterotopic calcification, and neurovascular dysfunction. We analyzed the management of complex elbow fractures and instabilities on the basis of recent literature and suggested possible guidelines for the treatment in this paper. In conclusion, recognition of the injury pattern and restoration of the joint stability are the prerequisites for any successful treatment of an unstable elbow injury.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the short- and long-term effects of ganglion impar radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFT) treatment in patients with chronic coccydynia.
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients who underwent RFT of the ganglion impar between 2009 and 2011. Pain intensity visual numeric scale (VNS) scores and Euroqol 5D (EQ-5D) index scores were recorded pre-intervention and post-intervention at the first, sixth, and twelfth months. The differences between pre-procedural VNS scores and post-procedural VNS scores at the first, sixth, and twelfth months were evaluated. The success of the intervention was recorded as the percentage difference between the pre-intervention VNS scores and post-intervention VNS scores at the first, sixth, and twelfth months.
    Results: The mean age of the patients, including 11 females (55%) and 8 males (45%), was 48.7 ± 14.3 years. The average follow-up duration was 17.3 ± 2.9 months. Statistically significant differences were observed between the pre- and post-procedure VNS scores (P < 0.0001). Improvements in VNS scores were correlated with improvements in EQ-5D index scores. Mid-term (sixth month) and long-term (twelfth month) evaluations after the intervention revealed that 67.4% and 61.1% of the patients had successful outcomes, respectively.
    Conclusion: Our data suggested that RFT of the ganglion impar in patients with chronic coccydynia resulted in effective outcomes, and patients who responded to RFT had significantly lower post-RFT pain scores.

    Abstract Vertebral column is a common site for bony metastases in patients with systemic malignancy. Patients with metastatic spinal tumors usually present with pain. Some tumors are asymptomatic and can be detected during screening examinations. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the vertebral column with the panel of available imagining methods and the clinical findings should be used for the diagnosis of spinal metastasis. A 45-year-old man was admitted with low back pain. With a history of rectum surgery and radiotherapy, he was on chemotherapy for rectum adenocarcinoma. F18 sodium fluoride positron emission tomography scan which was performed three weeks ago showed no abnormalities other than the primary surgical site. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar vertebrae spine revealed a lesion on the tip of L4 spinous process. Excisional biopsy of L4 spinous process was performed. Histologic examination revealed mucinous adenocarcinoma. He had no low back pain at two-months follow-up. We could not find any solitary spinous process metastasis reported in English literature. Patients with nonspecific spinal pain with a previous cancer history should be carefully evaluated for a spinal metastasis. Even a solitary spinous process lesion may turn out to be the initial manifestation of a spinal metastasis.

    Abstract The authors report a case of a 69-year-old woman who presented with a spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) 10 days after a total hip arthroplasty. The patient had been receiving 10 mg/d of rivaroxaban for 5 days for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis. She had a sudden onset of severe neck pain, followed by quadriplegia below C4. A dorsal SSEH was revealed by computed tomography. While preparing for the emergency evacuation of the SSEH, the neurological symptoms resolved spontaneously in 4 hours. The 1-month follow-up magnetic resonance imaging confirmed that the SSEH had completely resolved. The pathogenesis of SSEH is unclear, but anticoagulant therapy is a known risk factor. It is a relatively rare disorder. Only 1 case of SSEH has been reported, and that patient was receiving a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug besides rivaroxaban, which is another known risk factor for bleeding disorders.

    Abstract The influence of anatomical or nonanatomical femoral tunnel position on tunnel widening and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is not fully understood. This retrospective study examined the influence of tunnel width and placement on anterior knee stability and clinical outcomes after ACL reconstruction using the AperFix System (Cayenne Medical Inc, Scottsdale, Arizona), a direct expandable fixation technique with autologous hamstring grafts. The records of 80 patients (79 men and 1 woman) who underwent ACL reconstruction were evaluated. In 38 patients, anatomical femoral tunnel placement was performed via an accessory medial portal (anteromedial group); in the remaining 42 patients, the femoral tunnel was positioned nonanatomically using a transtibial technique (transtibial group). Mean follow-up was 40.7 months (range, 27-60 months). Postoperative knee kinetics were measured, and clinical outcomes were assessed using International Knee Documentation Committee, Lysholm, and Tegner scores. Femoral tunnel widening was measured by comparing postoperative radiographs with final follow-up radiographs. Femoral tunnel width was significantly greater (P<.001) and anterior knee translation was significantly higher (P=.01) in the transtibial group. Lysholm and Tegner scores were not significantly different (P>.05) between the 2 groups. These findings suggest that femoral tunnel widening is associated with increased anterior joint laxity when a direct fixation technique is used for ACL reconstruction, particularly in nonanatomically positioned femoral tunnels. Anatomical femoral tunnel placement provides better anterior stability and less tunnel widening than transtibial tunnel placement; however, these benefits did not produce a detectable advantage in clinical outcomes measures.

    Abstract Intra-articular ganglion cysts of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are rare, and bilateral ganglion cysts are even rarer. These cysts may cause intermittent or chronic nonspecific knee discomfort. Although three cases of bilateral ganglion cysts have been reported in the literature, the knees were not simultaneously affected in those cases. Herein, we report the case of a 56-year-old woman who presented with simultaneous bilateral ganglion cysts of the ACL that were symptomatic. She was successfully treated with arthroscopic resection and debridement. We also present a brief review of the literature, highlighting the aetiology, diagnosis and management of ganglion cysts of the ACL. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of simultaneous bilateral intra-articular ganglion cysts of the ACL.

    Abstract Background: Lymphoma of bone is uncommon. As a result of this, many aspects of primary lymphoma of bone (PLB) are controversial: the definition, treatment strategies, response criteria, and prognostic factors.
    Questions/purposes: We sought to determine the following in an analysis from a single center over a four-decade period: (1) 5-year disease-free survival of patients with PLB as well as those with systemic lymphoma with bone involvement; and (2) whether prognostic factors (sex, site of tumor, age) were associated with 5-year survival.
    Methods: A total of 119 patients with lymphoma involving the musculoskeletal system were retrospectively evaluated. Among these, 94 patients who had a minimum followup of 6 months (mean, 67 months; range, 6 months to 34 years) were further analyzed for the skeletal site of involvement, the orthopaedic intervention(s) needed, and survival. The overall median age was 45 years (range, 7-87 years). The female-to-male ratio was 1:1.53. There were 70 (65 unifocal, five multifocal) patients with PLB. The femur was the most frequent site involved. Appendicular skeleton involvement was substantially higher in patients with PLB. Thirty-four (36%) patients had at least one surgical intervention. Fourteen patients (41%) needed more than one major surgical intervention.
    Results: The disease-free 5-year survival for patients with PLB was 81% and for the patients with systemic lymphoma with bone involvement, it was 44%. The disease-free 5-year survival of the patients with PLB younger than 60 years old and 60 years old or older was 90% and 62%, respectively. Age was the only prognostic factor on survival of patients with PLB.
    Conclusions: Orthopaedic intervention was usually needed for pathologic fractures, avascular necrosis, spinal cord compression, or for the lesions of the weightbearing bones compromising stability or joint motion. The potential for long-term survival suggests the use of implants and techniques that have the best chance of long-term success.

    Abstract The effects of gender and various anthropometric variables were previously reported as significant predictors of plantar fascia thickness. Although a strong correlation between either the body weight or body mass index (BMI) and plantar fascia thickness were not demonstrated, a moderate relation was stated. We retrospectively investigated the role of gender, height, weight, and body mass index on plantar fascia thickness at the calcaneal origin (PFCO) and 1 cm distal from the calcaneal origin (PF1cm) and the coronal length of the plantar fascia at the calcaneal origin (CLPF) in healthy subjects. The PFCO, PF1cm, and CLPF were retrospectively measured from magnetic resonance images of 100 healthy subjects. The gender, height, weight, and body mass index of the participants were also noted. Gender was a predictive factor for the length of the CLPF. The subjects with a BMI >25 kg/m(2) had a significantly greater PFCO, PF1cm, and CLPF. Height was mildly and BMI and weight were moderately related to the PFCO. However the CLPF showed a better correlation with height, BMI, and weight than that of plantar fascia thickness. CLPF better reflected the role of weight, BMI, and height than its thickness. It is a new parameter that could be valuable in the evaluation of plantar fascia disorders.
