A five-year-old male domestic shorthair cat has been referred with a two-week history of lameness affecting the right hind limb. Gait assessment revealed an involuntary flexion of the stifle during the stance phase with excessive hip extension and stifle flexion in the terminal phase of the stride. Physical examination and radiographs have been performed and were consistent with patellar ligament rupture. Surgical correction consisted of primary tendon tenorrhaphy, circumpatellar suture and fascia lata graft augmentation. Eight months following surgery, validated owner questionnaire confirmed an excellent outcome.

Incidence of multiple flexor tendon rupture following distal radius fractures is rare with very few cases being reported in literature. We present an unusual case of a patient who had come to us with complaints of weakness and paresthesia of the right hand of one month prior and with a past history of dorsal plating for distal radius fracture nine years ago. Radiographs showed a distal radius fracture malunion with intact dorsal plate and protrusion of screws through the volar cortex. On exploration, attritional ruptures of all digital flexors were found with sparing of the Flexor Pollicis Longus tendon. The fibrous mass was excised and flexors reconstructed with a fascia lata graft. Attempt was made to correct the malunion with radial and ulnar osteotomies. At one year the patient had excellent restoration of digital flexion.

Dura mater grafts are commonly applied in neurosurgery. The bovine pericardium is safe and associated with rare complications. We report a case of a patient presenting with tuberculum sellae meningioma and unusual complication after frontotemporal duroplasty using bovine pericardium. After two days of good postoperative evolution, the patient presents with neurological worsening and CT scan shows intraparenchymal hematoma on the right, with perilesional edema, requiring surgery to drain and replace the pericardium of a fascia lata graft. with good postoperative evolution. Pediculated pericranium, temporal fascia and fascia lata are the most effective and safe choice to replace the dura mater. Among heterologous grafts, bovine pericardium is associated with few complications. However, complications such as inflammationand infection are related to the substance glutaraldehyde, present in such graft.

Trauma Case

SummaryThis report documents a complicated trauma case in a dog that was successfully managed by substitution of a missing patellar ligament with an autogenous tensor fascia lata free graft. Important to the success of the case was the use of a careful postoperative regime of progressive controlled mobilization with the aid of the hinged transarticular external skeletal fixator. Because of the advantages provided by use of the autogenous tensor fascia lata graft and the hinged transarticular external skeletal fixator, patient morbidity was low and the end result was good.An autogenous tensor fascia lata free graft was successfully used to completely substitute for a missing patellar ligament in a dog. Postoperative rehabilitation was facilitated by the use of the hinged transarticular external skeletal fixator. The technique is described along with the results. Complete substitution of the patellar ligament with a graft has not been reported in the dog.

Sliding Technique

Equinus deformity is a condition in which dorsiflexion movement of the ankle joint is limited or decreased. Equinus deformity arises due to contracture/shortening/tightening in achilles tendon or soleus muscles or gastrocnemius muscle. The lengthening procedure of the achilles tendon can be done by various techniques such as the open or percutaneous method and Z-plasty versus sliding technique. Here we reported a case of post-traumatic equinus deformity of the right foot. The patient’s dorsiflexion movement was restricted. In this case, the patient was operated for open Z-plasty of the achilles tendon with rollover tensor fascia lata graft for lengthening of the contracted achilles tendon. The patient was discharged on the third postoperative day uneventfully. After 7 months of follow-up, the patient was walking normally without limping with the full range of motion at the right ankle joint as similar to his left ankle joint.

Purpose. To evaluate of functional and cosmetic effectiveness of lower eyelid sling technique with fascia lata graft in patients with lagophthalmos due to facial paralysis.Material and Method. Ten patients with a mean age of55.1±19.77years who underwent lower eyelid sling surgery with a fascia lata graft between September 2011 and January 2014 were included in this prospective study. Preoperatively and postoperatively patients were evaluated in terms of corneal epithelial defects, Schirmer’s test, and tear break-up time (TBUT). Cosmetically, vertical eyelid aperture, margin reflex distances 1 and 2 (MRD1 and MRD2) and scleral show were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively.Results. One patient had facial paralysis on the right side whereas the other 9 patients had facial paralysis on the left side. Preoperatively, 3 patients were detected with corneal ulcer, whereas 7 patients were detected with persistent corneal epithelial defects localized in the lower half of the cornea. In the 3 patients with preoperative corneal ulcer, the ulcer recovered with corneal opacity, whereas in the 7 patients with punctate epitheliopathy, postoperative corneal transparency was obtained.Discussion. Lower eyelid sling technique with fascia lata graft is an effective technique for the repositioning of the lower eyelid and preventing the corneal complications.

Fazio-Londe syndrome is a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by riboflavin transporter deficiency. Clinical presentation includes variable hypotonia or muscle weakness, sensory gait ataxia, optic atrophy, sensorineural hearing loss, and bulbar palsies. We described the case of a 37-year-old patient with a suspected Fazio-Londe syndrome who was referred to us for oral incompetence with dysarthria and drooling and impaired facial expression. First, we provided static sling suspension of the lower lip with Silhouette sutures (Silhouette Lift). Due to recurrent sutures exposure, we had to remove the sutures and insert a bilateral fascia lata graft to resuspend the lower lip. Two months postoperatively, the patient had good oral competence and there were no complications. In our opinion, this is a simple and minimally invasive procedure that can restore the right lower lip position in challenging patients.

Many muscle diseases show common pathological features although their etiology is different. In primary muscle diseases a characteristic finding is myofiber necrosis. The mechanism of myonecrosis is unknown. Polymyositis is a primary muscle disease characterized by acute and subacute degeneration as well as regeneration of muscle fibers coupled with an inflammatory infiltrate. We present a case of polymyositis with unusual ultrastructural features indicative of the basic pathogenetic process involved in myonecrosis.The patient is a 63-year-old white female with a one history of proximal limb weakness, weight loss and fatigue. Examination revealed mild proximal weakness and diminished deep tendon reflexes. Her creatine kinase was 1800 mU/ml (normal < 140 mU/ml) and electromyography was consistent with an inflammatory myopathy which was verified by light microscopy on biopsy muscle. Ultrastructural study of necrotizing myofiber, from the right vastus lateralis, showed: (1) degradation of the Z-lines with preservation of the adjacent Abands including M-lines and H-bands, (Fig. 1), (2) fracture of the sarcomeres at the I-bands with disappearance of the Z-lines, (Fig. 2), (3) fragmented sarcomeres without I-bands, engulfed by invading phagocytes, (Fig. 3, a & b ), and (4) mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltrate in the endomysium.

Abstract The accurate measurement of hip motion is critical when one rates impairments of this joint, makes an initial diagnosis, assesses progression over time, and evaluates treatment outcome. The hip permits all motions typical of a ball-and-socket joint. The hip sacrifices some motion but gains stability and strength. Figures 52 to 54 in AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), Fourth Edition, illustrate techniques for measuring hip flexion, loss of extension, abduction, adduction, and external and internal rotation. Figure 53 in the AMA Guides, Fourth Edition, illustrates neutral, abducted, and adducted positions of the hip and proper alignment of the goniometer arms, and Figure 52 illustrates use of a goniometer to measure flexion of the right hip. In terms of impairment rating, hip extension (at least any beyond neutral) is irrelevant, and the AMA Guides contains no figures describing its measurement. Figure 54, Measuring Internal and External Hip Rotation, demonstrates proper positioning and measurement techniques for rotary movements of this joint. The difference between measured and actual hip rotation probably is minimal and is irrelevant for impairment rating. The normal internal rotation varies from 30° to 40°, and the external rotation ranges from 40° to 60°.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.
