Osteochondroma of distal tibia: A case series
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Osteochondroma are cartilaginous, benign bone lesion. They thought to originate within the periosteum as small cartilaginous nodules. They account for about 30% of benign bone lesion. Common in 2nd decade of life. Mostly asymptomatic and common sites are distal femur, proximal tibia and proximal humerus. Genc B et al reported rare case of distal tibial osteochondroma causing fibular deformity and deep peroneal nerve entrapment neuropathy but we had encountered three cases of distal tibial osteochondroma with fibular deformity and deep peroneal neuropathy from last 1year and is not as rare as previously thought.

Tibial plateau fractures are intra-articular fractures of major weight bearing joint [1]. These fractures represent a wide spectrum of severity which ranges from simple injuries with predictably excellent outcome after n...
Study to compare the results of osteosynthesis of unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures in elderly osteoporotic patients versus coxafemoral bypass by cemented bipolar prosthesis
Introduction: Intertrochanteric fractures constitute about 45% of all hip fractures. Dynamic hip screw and plate (DHS) and Proximal femoral nail are commonly used for osteosynthesis. However, there are many studies which...
