Stafne bone defects (SBDs) are asymptomatic mandibular lingual bone depressions mainly caused by soft tissue inclusions. The most common form of SBDs is posterior; the anterior variant of SBD is relatively uncommon. Although posterior SBD is easily diagnosed by the unique location on radiography, anterior SBD is sometimes misdiagnosed and confused with other pathological entities owing to the location. We report herein a case of simultaneous unilateral anterior and posterior SBDs. In the present case, definitive diagnosis for the anterior mandibular cavity was unclear, as in reported cases. Surgical exploration was thus performed for the lesion in the anterior mandibular cavity. Pathologic examination of the removed tissue showed salivary gland with chronic inflammation. Postoperatively, no functional disturbance has been observed. Management of the posterior SBD was conservative, with radiographic follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first report of simultaneous unilateral anterior and posterior SBDs.

This report describes a 14-year-old Pit Bull dog presenting with a soft tissue swelling of 3-month progression in the right sublingual region. Histopathological analysis of the surgically resected specimen revealed large numbers of mature adipocytes and islets consisting of mucin-containing atrophic acini and dilated ducts surrounded by a thin fibrous capsule. Findings were consistent with sialolipoma of the sublingual salivary gland. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case of sialolipoma affecting the sublingual salivary gland in dogs.

Large Bone Defects

Background: Pathogenesis of ankle disorders with a large bone defect is varied and treatment for those problems is challenging for orthopaedic surgeons. The aims of this study were to present an operative technique of arthrodesis for the reconstruction of the ankle and hindfoot with a large bone defect using a soft tissue–preserved fibular strut graft and to report outcomes of consecutively treated patients. Methods: Twelve feet from 11 patients, including feet with aseptic necrosis of the talus and total ankle implant loosening, were treated. Bone defects were filled using iliac bone and/or resected fibula and tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis was performed using a retrograde intramedullary nail. A modified transfibular approach was used to expose the affected joint while preserving the lateral to posterior skin and soft tissues on the fibula. The periods of bony fusion and outcomes were radiographically and clinically evaluated. The mean follow-up period was 33.4 months. Results: Bony fusion was achieved within 3 months in all cases. Coronal and sagittal alignments were acceptable, and the mean American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Score improved from 53.8 to 75.5 at the final follow-up. All patients graded their results of treatment as “satisfied.” Conclusion: This procedure did not require special techniques and it should be applicable to complicated cases with large bone defects. High fusion rates that we believe are due to preserving blood supply to the fibular graft can be expected with preservation of the hindfoot height. Level of Evidence: Level IV, case series.

Neoplastic Disorders

A twelve-year-old, female Hermann’s tortoise (Testudo hermanni) was presented with an oviductal prolapse after showing tenesmus for three days prior to presentation. Radiography revealed a soft tissue opacity in the caudal coelomic cavity that ultrasonographically presented as a congested, invaginated tubular structure and was deemed to comprise the left oviduct. After repositioning the oviductal prolapse, coelioscopy confirmed that the invaginated structure consisted of the anterior part of the left oviduct and incorporated a part of the ipsilateral mesovarium and mesosalpinx. A transplastron osteotomy was carried out to perform unilateral salpingectomy and bilateral ovariectomy. A definitive diagnosis of an oviductal leiomyoma was made based on histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of the invaginated part of the oviduct. In the present case, the authors highlight that neoplastic disorders should be considered as a cause of oviductal invagination and prolapse in chelonians. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of the diagnosis and successful treatment of an oviductal leiomyoma in a Hermann’s tortoise.

External Fixation Device

Abstract Background: Open fractures with bone defects of the distal phalanx of the hallux are both rare and complicated, and these conditions pose great clinical challenge to orthopedists as improper handling can lead to distal tissue necrosis, osteomyelitis, malunion, non-union and even amputation. Due to the lack of soft tissue and bone and the blocking effect caused by un-disconnected soft tissue, it is relatively difficult to achieve effective reduction and fixation of the fracture by traditional methods. Methods: we present a patient, diagnosed with open fracture combined with bone defects of the distal segment of the great toe, who was treated using a self-made adjustable external fixation device by complete debridement, effective closed reduction and continuous adjustment. Complications were registered and clinical outcome was measured at the follow-up periods. Results: The device was simple to make with a low cost and practicality, and this technique resulted in effective maintenance of reduction and progressive compression in the fracture ends. The patient finally obtained optimal fracture healing and satisfactory function of the injured toe at last follow-up. Conclusions: The self-made adjustable external fixation device is reliable in maintaining reduction and fixation, which provides an alternative for the management of open fracture associated with bone absence of the distal phalanx of the hallux.

AbstractStafne's bone defects (SBD) are usually asymptomatic and appears as a radiolucent lingual/buccal bone lesions of the lower jaw and are frequently caused by soft tissue inclusion. SBDs bone defects are considered to be an anatomic condition and most often seen in the posterior part the mandible below the mandibular canal. This is a case of anterior mandibular SBD, which was accidently detected in a patient with mandibular fracture.

Background: Necrotising soft tissue infection (NSTI) is rare but fatal. Andreasen proposed finger test as an early diagnostic tool to differentiate NSTI from other soft tissue infections. We aim to evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of the test for the diagnosis of NSTI. Methods: Patients who were admitted to our department from 2012 to 2016 with suspicion of NSTI and finger test done were retrospectively reviewed. Finger test was done and interpreted as described by Andreasen. Definitive diagnosis of NSTI was confirmed with surgical and pathological findings. Results: Among the 35 patients included in the study, NSTI was confirmed in 10 cases. Finger test had a sensitivity of 100%, a specificity of 80%, positive predictive value of 66.7%, negative predictive value of 100% and an overall accuracy of 85.7%. There was no difference in demographics or comorbidities between NSTI and non-NSTI groups. Surgeons involved had 76.7% agreement and moderate reproducibility (kappa = 0.48) on the diagnostic criteria of finger test. Conclusion: A negative finger test was reliable to exclude NSTI and a positive test suggested further surgical exploration. Yet, clinical judgement was still of paramount importance to treat NSTI promptly.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) occurring at intraabdominal sites in children has rarely been described. Inflammatory pseudotumour is a soft tissue lesion that may be confused with a sarcoma. It is abbreviated as IMT. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour, also known as soft tissue tumours, atypical fibromyxoid tumours, pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumour, plasma cell granuloma, pseudosarcomatous myofibrotic proliferation, post-operative spindle cell nodules. In this paper, we describe a case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) with an unusual constellation of clinical, pathological findings. A 10-year-old girl had an 7-cm intraabdominal mass accompanied by severe anemia, fever, constipation, weight loss, thrombocytosis, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Laparotomy was performed. The final pathologic diagnosis was IMT. At the most recent follow up (12months) after excision of the tumour, the patient was symptom-free and there was no evidence of tumour recurrence.J. Paediatr.
