There are many reports of macrodystrophia lipomatosa involving the hands or feet, but here we report an unusual case where the whole of the left lower limb was affected.
Fifty cases of chronic osteomyelitis were treated by closed, continuous, suction and irrigation and followed up for between six months and eight years. In group A, 25 cases were treated by irrigation with antibiotics, and in group B, 25 cases were treated by irrigation with Bitadine solution, irrespective of the culture and sensitivity reports. Appropriate antibiotics were given systemically. There was no notable difference in the results in the two groups, with an overall success rate of about 80%.
There are many reports of stab wounds of the spinal cord with neurological deficit, but here we report an intraspinal, extradural stab injury of the spine with no neurological injury. The broken blade was removed eight months later.
