Unusual presentation of an infected primary hydatid cyst of biceps femoris muscle.

Hydatid cysts of the musculoskeletal system are rare. Unusual magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of an infected primary hydatid cyst of the biceps femoris muscle are presented in a 40-year-old man on hemodialysis for chronic renal failure. No daughter cysts were present within the mother cyst cavity, but there was a fatty nodule which has not previously been described in a muscular hydatid cyst. Although the cyst was infected secondarily, no surrounding soft tissue inflammatory reaction was noted. Hydatid cysts should be included in the differential diagnosis of unusual soft-tissue masses in regions where the disease is endemic.

Calcific myonecrosis.

Calcific myonecrosis is a rare and late sequela of compartment syndrome, which becomes symptomatic years after the initial trauma. We diagnosed this condition in a 64-year old man, 42 years after he sustained a shot-gun wound to the right lower leg. Total excision of a peripherally calcified, cystic mass, continuous with the anterior tibial muscle belly resulted in complete resolution of symptoms. Consideration of the diagnosis is warranted in patients with a history of major injury who develop a soft tissue mass in the traumatized compartment. The treatment of choice is marginal excision.

Spontaneous resolution of congenital anterolateral bowing of the tibia.

In a series of 43 patients diagnosed with congenital anterolateral bowing of the tibia or congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia treated between 1980 and 1992, the deformities corrected themselves spontaneously in five patients who had no other congenital abnormalities or evidence of neurofibromatosis. At an average follow-up of 58 months (average age at follow-up 80 months), the only residual deformity seen was a limb-length discrepancy in patients with unilateral involvement. In patients with subperiosteal callus formation on the posteromedial concavity of this deformity and an uninvolved fibula, no treatment appears necessary, as this deformity will spontaneously resolve.

Salter's innominate osteotomy in the treatment of congenital hip dislocation: a long-term review.

We reviewed 39 patients with 52 congenitally dislocated hips, all managed by open reduction and Salter's innominate osteotomy. Mean follow-up period was 13 years (range, 8 to 25 years); 78.9% of the hips had a good or excellent clinical result, and 71.1% were good or excellent radiologically. The patients who underwent Salter's innominate osteotomy before the age of 4 had better clinical and radiological results (88.4 and 81.4%, respectively). The radiographs of the unilateral normal hips were compared to the surgically treated hips according to their acetabular index angles, center-edge angles of Wiberg, and femoral neck-shaft angles. No statistical differences were found between these two groups. The Bucholz-Ogden classification was used for the diagnosis and classification of avascular necrosis. The late radiographic signs of types 2, 3, and 4 avascular necrosis were seen in 34.6% of this series. The results show that Salter's innominate osteotomy provides good lateral coverage of the femoral head. The results are better if the operation is performed between the ages 18 months and 4 years.
