[Outcome of surgical treatment for patellar fractures].

Twenty patients were treated surgically between March 1996 and March 2000. The mean age was 39.5 (18-68) and whom 13 were male and 7 were female. Surgical treatment methods as follows; modified tension band wiring in 10 of the patients with transverse fractures, mini cancellous screw and lag-screw fixation in 7 with vertical fractures and in 2 with distal pol fractures, combination of K wire and circumferential cerclage wire fixation in 5 with comminuted fractures. The average follow-up time was 24 months (6-54 months) and findings were evaluated radiologically and according to scale of Levack. Results were rated as good in 55%, moderate in 35% and poor in 10% of the patients. It was found that modified tension band wiring technique gave the best results. We concluded that majority of the trauma, type of the fracture, surgical technique and post operative rehabilitation were affected the results of patellar fractures treated surgically. In addition to this, patellectomy may be performed in severely comminuted fractures where no major fragments containing of articular surface of the patella exist.

Cavernous hemangioma behaving like peroneal tenosynovitis.

Hemangioma of the tendon sheath is rarely reported. In this case report, a 22-year-old man, who had been seen for peroneal tenosynovitis before (although symptoms remained) was reevaluated. A cavernous hemangioma was located in the peroneal muscle and the tendon. Complete excision was performed.

Arthroscopic removal of an osteoid osteoma at the talar neck.

The case of a 14-year-old girl with osteoid osteoma of the talar neck that localized subperiostaly with a 1-year history of persistent ankle pain is presented. The diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical appearance, radiography, technetium-99m diphosphonate scintigraphy, and magnetic resonance imaging findings. Subsequently, she underwent arthroscopic excision of the lesion using a motorized burr and curette. After the intervention, there was prompt relief of symptoms and no recurrence during a follow-up period of 22 months. However, pathological study of the arthroscopic shavings failed to confirm the preoperative diagnosis. We concluded that the arthroscopic excision of an osteoid osteoma in an accessible location on the talar neck is an appropriate surgical intervention, but it should be done by using nonmotorized instruments for better pathological examination of the lesion.

Tarsal tunnel syndrome secondary to neurilemoma of the medial plantar nerve.

A neurilemoma of the medial plantar nerve was observed in a 52-year-old Caucasian female. She was diagnosed with tarsal tunnel syndrome by clinical and electromyographic examination. This case was followed up for 18 months and has been presented as a very rare cause of tarsal tunnel syndrome. Relevant literature was reviewed.
