Elbow fractures with carpal injuries.
We report four cases with six episodes of concurrent carpal and elbow fractures or dislocations. Few such combinations of injuries have been reported in the literature. We discuss the mechanism and management of such injuries and conclude that elbow injuries should be suspected in severe carpal injuries. Surgical treatment may be required in their management.

Pancreatitis after alar-transverse fusion for spondylolisthesis. A case report.
Acute pancreatitis complicated the postoperative care of a 16-year-old girl treated by alar-transverse fusion for spondylolisthesis. Pancreatitis was diagnosed by a marked increase in plasma amylase in conjunction with abdominal ultrasonography. Symptoms resolved with conservative treatment. Pancreatitis should be suspected when unusual abdominal symptoms persist after spinal surgery.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVS) is a disease of unknown origin that most commonly affects the synovial joints and synovial sheaths of the skeletally mature. In an eight-month-old infant, a leg swelling thought likely to be a sarcoma proved to be PVS on biopsy.
