Traumatic coxa vera. A case report of spontaneous correction in a child.

Residual coxa vara is a common complication of femoral neck fracture in a child. Factors favoring the development of this complication are delayed reduction and avascular necrosis. The present case report is a 10-year follow-up of spontaneous correction of traumatic coxa vara in a child. This is of interest because residual coxa vara following a hip fracture in an adult is a deformity in which there is little if any corrective remodeling.

Epithelioid sarcoma involving bone.

This is a report of a case of extension of an epithelioid sarcoma into the medullary cavity-a fact that may alter the relatively good prognosis of this entity, and seems not to have been reported previously. It is important to add epithelial sarcoma to the differential diagnosis of tumor masses on the extremities. A cure may be achieved by wide local excision at an early stage of the disease.
