Myositis ossificans (MO) is a benign non-neoplastic condition in which heterotopic bone formation occurs in soft tissues. Neurogenic MO is one variant of MO where the lesion is a result of neurological disorders, including brain and spinal cord injuries, especially when followed by immobility and spasticity. MO can also be a result of direct trauma or even genetic mutations. We present three cases of young men (16, 37, and 22-year-old) who developed MO of the hip joint following brain or spinal cord injuries. One of them had also sustained a direct trauma to the affected hip joint at the time of the accident. All three patients presented with inability to walk independently due to diminished range of motion at the affected joint. X-rays and computerized tomography (CT) scans with 3-dimentional (3D) reconstruction suggested the diagnosis of MO, but the serum alkaline phosphatase was within normal limits at the time of presentation. The first case had bilateral involvement with unmistakable separation betwe non-operative methods fail to provide an adequate range of motion around the hip joint. Pre-operative assessment utilizing 3D-CT scans proved to be essential in dictating the appropriate surgical approach. During post-operative follow-ups, the physiotherapy and oral indomethacin provided additional improvement in outcome and patients' satisfaction. The surgical management of MO is indicated when non-operative methods fail to provide an adequate range of motion around the hip joint. Pre-operative assessment utilizing 3D-CT scans proved to be essential in dictating the appropriate surgical approach. During post-operative follow-ups, the physiotherapy and oral indomethacin provided additional improvement in outcome and patients' satisfaction. Volar locking plate fixation of distal radius fractures is commonly performed because of its good clinical outcomes. The flexor carpi radialis (FCR) approach is one of the most popular approaches to dissecting the volar side of the distal radius because of its simplicity and safety. We describe an extremely rare case of an absent FCR identified during a volar approach for fixation of a distal radius fracture. A 40-year-old male with comminuted distal radius fracture underwent surgery using the usual FCR approach and volar locking plate. We could not identify the absence of the FCR tendon preoperatively because of severe swelling of the distal forearm. At first, we wrongly identified the palmaris longus (PL) tendon as the FCR because it was the tendinous structure at the most radial location of the volar distal forearm. When we found the median nerve just radial to the PL tendon, we were then able to identify the anatomical abnormality in this case. To avoid iatrogenic neurovascular injuries, we changed thhe FCR is designated as a favorable landmark because of its superficially palpable location, strong and thick structure, and rare anatomical variations, there is the possibility of iatrogenic complications in cases of the absence of the FCR. We suggest that surgeons should have a detailed knowledge of the range of possible anomalies to complete the fixation of a distal radius fracture safely. Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic disorder caused by tumors that produce fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) resulting in phosphate wasting and inadequate bone mineralization. Complete resection of the tumor can be curative. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate.html However, these tumors are typically difficult to find anatomically due to small size and location. We present the case of a patient who presented for evaluation of recurrent fractures and hypophosphatemia in the setting of elevated FGF23 suggestive of TIO. 68Gallium-DOTATATE revealed multiple somatostatin avid lesions in several ribs, left acetabulum, sacrum, right tibia, and feet, some of which appeared with fracture on computed tomography scan, initially concerning for metastatic disease. However, the lesion in acetabulum was considered the culprit tumor given its remarkably higher maximum standard uptake values. Complete surgical removal of the FGF23-secreting tumor led to cure of this disease. This case report highlights the challenges with functional imaging differentiating fractures from the culprit lesion and reports on a novel surgical technique that allowed for surgical cure while preserving the hip joint.

Calcaneus fractures are rare in the pediatric population, and avulsion fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity is even less common. In adults, those fractures are usually associated with poor bone quality, however, this is not the case in children. It is a fracture that requires emergent intervention to prevent devastating skin and soft-tissue-related complications. We report a case of a 9-year-old female who had a displaced calcaneal tuberosity fracture with heel skin impending compromise, after a fall at an indoor gymnastic facility. The child had a history of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, diagnosed at age 4, she was in remission at the time of injury. In the present report, besides reporting a rare injury among the pediatric population, we also describe the operative management, the post-operative course, and we review the literature. Pediatric calcaneal tuberosity fractures, although rare, can lead to devastating complications if not addressed promptly, and should be treated in an expedited fashion. Pediatric calcaneal tuberosity fractures, although rare, can lead to devastating complications if not addressed promptly, and should be treated in an expedited fashion. Anterior cord syndrome (ACS) is a type of incomplete spinal cord injury caused by either direct compression of the anterior spinal cord, or by ischemia of the anterior spinal artery. This phenomenon has neither been described transiently nor intraoperatively. We describe the case of a 61-year-old male who developed intermittent and transient anterior spinal cord syndrome secondary to hypotension related hypoperfusion of the anterior spinal artery after elective cervical spine surgery. Through close blood pressure monitoring and intensive care unit support, the patient regained full neurological recovery. Anterior spinal cord syndrome is a rare condition affecting the anterior 2/3 of the spinal cord, resulting in incomplete paralysis. Blood flow can be disrupted through the anterior spinal artery, either through thrombosis or hypotension. We describe our rare case so that surgeons may recognize this potentially devastating condition. Anterior spinal cord syndrome is a rare condition affecting the anterior 2/3 of the spinal cord, resulting in incomplete paralysis.
