Topical corticosteroids are currently recommended only for short-term management of flares of lichen sclerosus, with efficacy in halting disease progression. Given the chronic nature of this condition, there is a lack of literature surrounding the chronic effects of topical corticosteroids on the male genitalia with many dermatologists avoiding prescribing long term. This case report aims to provide anecdotal observation for the long-term use of topical corticosteroids and details the long-term follow-up of an individual who used potent and superpotent topical corticosteroids for over 25 years without significant demonstrable side effects. A short review on relevant literature is provided.

The association of ipsilateral talar and calcaneal fractures is an uncommon combination and is typically the result of a high-energy trauma. It is often associated with comminution, marked fracture displacement, and soft-tissue compromise. Obtaining satisfactory clinical and radiographic results is very challenging. Residual deformities, multiple procedures, and limitations are usually the norm. Therefore, studies have suggested that primary arthrodesis may represent the best option of surgical treatment. In this study, we report a case of a 30-year-old male patient with a rare combination of a highly comminuted transcalcaneal fracture-dislocation associated with a talar neck fracture successfully treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with an 18-month follow-up. This case demonstrates that even when there are associated fractures of the talus and calcaneus with severe bone loss, ORIF may provide satisfactory outcomes in the short-term postoperative period.

Acute septic arthritis is a common clinical problem in emergency departments. Primary meningococcal arthritis (PMA) is very rare and few cases are reported in literature. D. B. M. consulted the emergency department for knee pain and fever; analysis showed that the cause was a Neisseria meningitidis type C infection. He received a treatment consisting of 2 arthroscopies and 5 weeks of antibiotics. At five weeks he returned to work and at 2 months he resumed sports (jogging and soccer) without complaints. Primary arthritis of the knee caused by Neisseria meningitidis is very rare. It has a very good response to antibiotics and arthroscopy procedure. Short-term follow-up and functional results are often good or excellent.

Erythema Multiforme (EM) is a rare, autoimmune mucocutaneous disorder characterized by polymorphous oral presentation and target lesions in the skin. It is a type IV hypersensitivity reaction, triggered by infections, drugs and rarely idiopathic. EM minor shows ulcerations involving a single mucosal site with typical skin target lesions. EM often reduces the quality of life and increases the morbidity due to difficulty in swallowing, speech and mouth opening. This case report highlights the management approach of EM minor in a 32-year-old male patient and its response to systemic steroids using sequential clinical photographs with 1-month follow up. Keywords: Erythema Multiforme; minor; vesiculobullous; corticosteroids; idiopathic

<p class="abstract">Isolated coronal shear fractures of capitellum are very rare, accounting for nearly 1% of all elbow fractures. There are various approaches and implants documented for management of such fractures. One of them is lateral Kocher’s approach and Herbert screw fixation. Our case report is strengthening this approach and Herbert screw fixation and shows good short term functional outcome along with radiological union.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

Cutaneous draining sinus tracts of odontogenic origin often are a diagnostic challenge. A delay in correctly diagnosing these types of lesions can result in unnecessary antibiotic therapy and surgical treatment. This case report presents the clinical course of two cases with extra-oral sinus tract formation, from diagnosis and treatment to short-term follow-up and evaluation. These facial lesions were initially misdiagnosed as lesions of non-odontogenic origin. Later on an odontogenic cause was identified and endodontic intervention resulted in resolution of the problem, confirming the initial misdiagnosis.

For a 29-year-old man with a three-week-old Hawkins Type IV talar neck fracture, intra-operative reduction and fixation were not possible due to soft tissue contractures and severe comminution. A primary talonavicular and subtalar arthrodesis with the use of iliac crest bone graft was performed. Postoperative follow-up at 16 months demonstrated solid fusions, no avascular necrosis of the talus and a functional range of motion at the ankle. He was not capable of returning to his job of roof maintenance.

Hallux rigidus is a common arthritic disorder of the foot. Surgical treatments are varied, from isolated cheilectomy to arthrodesis. A synthetic cartilage implant has been embraced recently as a joint-sparing alternative to arthrodesis, with good early and midterm outcomes. However, early clinical failures have been described relating to implant subsidence. This case report focuses on another mode of failure consisting of early catastrophic wear resulting in conversion to a lengthening arthrodesis at short-term follow-up. Levels of Evidence: Level V
