Joint Luxation

AbstractElbow joint luxation without concomitant fracture is uncommon in horses. This paper reports on a case of elbow joint luxation in a ten months old Arabian colt. The horse was presented with a history of an acute onset of non-weight bearing right front limb lameness with edema of the affected region lasting for six days. Radiographic imaging indicated luxation of the elbow joint; however, useful information about the severity of soft tissue involvement was obtained using ultrasonography since bilateral collateral ligaments were completely disrupted. The owner opted for euthanasia and necropsy confirmed the diagnosis. Although very rare, elbow joint luxation should be considered in cases of acute forelimb lameness in young horses.

Uncommon Condition

Congenital bilateral humeroradial synostosis (HRS) is a rare condition. It is generally divided into 2 categories. In the first group, which is mainly sporadic, additional upper limb hypoplasia typically coexists. In the second group, which is classically familial, HRS is commonly an isolated upper extremity anomaly. HRS can lead to variable degrees of functional disability. The clinical case reported here illustrates a possibly avoidable presentation of this uncommon condition. In this case report, we present a 6-week-old male who presented with bilateral radius fractures. Radiography revealed congenital HRS at both elbows. No other associated congenital abnormalities were detected, and there was no family history of similar conditions in any first-degree relatives. In cases of congenital HRS, movement at the elbow joint is not possible. Parents who are unaware of this information might try to straighten their infant’s elbows, which in turn may result in fractures of the proximal radius. Hence, early diagnosis and proper parental education could prevent fractures as a sequela of HRS.

Ovarian torsion after hysterectomy is a rare event. The diagnosis of ovarian torsion is challenging because symptoms are nonspecific. We present a case of ovarian torsion 2 years after laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH). Furthermore, we performed a literature review about ovarian torsion after hysterectomy. This case shows that, in cases of acute onset pelvic pain in patients with history of hysterectomy, the adnexal torsion must be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis, especially in those women who had undergone LH.

Plantar Warts

Verucae or plantar warts is a painful skin condition that demonstrates a high resistance to various treatments. They can be caused by trauma or human papilloma virus. The infection is mostly caused by a breach in the skin. The virus is usually contacted by walking barefoot in community swimming pool areas. The condition is common in sports persons. Our research focused on warts that occur on plantar surface of foot also known as plantar warts. They result in pain with pressure on weight bearing surfaces so walking is difficult and painful. Risk factors include using community showers barefoot, previous history of warts and decreased immune function. Case Report: We present a case report of a female aged 24 years who was clinically diagnosed with plantar wart. She developed recurrent plantar warts. For a year she was treated with pairing and punch excision with no success. Then ultrasound program was initiated with dosage of 0.6 watt /cm2 and increased up to 1 watt/cm2 for 15 min given at 1-week interval for 15 weeks. At the end of 15th week, the plantar wart had completely disappeared.

In this paper a case of periosteal proliferative polyarthritis in an 11-year old, female Siamese cat, that was admitted to the Surgery Clinic of the Veterinary School, A.U.Th., with a 6-month history of non-weight bearing lameness of the left thoracic limb, is described. At physical examination, restricted range of motion of the left elbow joint, local swelling and pain were detected. In the radiological examination of the affected joint the main finding was a periarticular extensive and irregular periosteal new bone formation. The results of the complete blood count and routine serum biochemistry were within normal limits and the cat was serologically negative for FeLV and FIV. Synovial fluid examination showed a lymphoplasmacytic pleocytosis, while the bacterial culture was negative. Prednisolone given at an anti-inflammatory dose for two consecutive weeks resulted in a marked improvement of the clinical sings. However, two months after the end of the treatment lameness reappeared, but this time in the contralateral thoracic limb, due to the involvement of the same joint. Radiology revealed the same type of lesions in the right elbow joint, whereas the left became ankylosed. Again, prednisolone, given at an immunosuppressive dose for two weeks, did not improve but fairly the clinical condition of the animal and the radiological changes as well. For this reason azathioprine at the dose of 1 mg/kg BW, every 48 hours, was added to therapy that lasted for 5 months. Transient mild leukopenia, that resolved after decreasing the dose of azathioprine by 25%, was the only adverse side effect noticed. At the end of the treatment, regression of the radiographical lesions in both elbows enabled the cat to walk with a stilted gait, despite the development of joint ankylosis bilaterally. The disease was kept in remission during the 12-month follow up period.

The female patient 25-year old who was admitted to Acharya Vinoba Bahave Rural Hospital on date 19/06/2019. 4 months ago, she noticed that her abdomen had become prominent. Her appetite became poor and she had vomiting bouts whenever she took food. A detailed clinical evaluation of the The syndrome of Budd-Chiari is based on a comprehensive history of of the patient, angiography is often used to assist in the diagnosis. The treatment also uses (MRI) and ultrasound technique. If the condition is detected early, treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome is more effective. Large doses of corticosteroid, prednisone can also be recommended as heparin like anticoagulants can be efficient in the treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome individuals. However, the condition typically has an acute onset and can become chronic later in life. The present case with right anticoagulant therapy, early diagnosis and successful treatment is reported.

Introduction: The art of medicine glorifies when a clinician listens carefully to the patient’s story, gives a thorough examination, performs appropriate investigations, and finally links findings together to reach a definite diagnosis. An interesting case was reported here, highlighting the integration of different symptoms and manifestations with some relevant biochemical investigations to reach a final diagnosis. To the best of our knowledge, fixed flexion deformity, as a complication of subcutaneous calcification, has not been previously reported in a child with Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO). Case Presentation: A 2.5-year-old boy was born at term with a birth weight of 3.5 kg (-0.49 SDS). The child was referred to a general pediatrician with a history of right elbow joint swelling noticed initially at six months of age. He then developed the limitation of right upper arm movement, which slowly progressed afterward. The patient had no history of trauma. At nine months of age, he was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, preceded by cold skin, dry hair, and constipation. At nine years of age, he presented with a fixed flexion deformity of the right elbow, associated with markedly limited joint movement and symmetrical hands with hyperpigmented knuckles of right metacarpal bones. Subcutaneous masses were felt along the right forearm, showing tenderness on palpation. Investigations revealed elevated serum parathyroid hormone and normal calcium, indicating parathyroid hormone resistance. Further genetic testing revealed GNAS mutation. The child was obese throughout his childhood. Conclusions: This case report describes an obese child with subcutaneous calcification that led to fixed flexion deformity of the elbow, starting at an incredibly early age. Hypothyroidism and pseudohypoparathyroidism raised the suspicion of AHO, which was later confirmed by genetic testing. This is the first case report on fixed flexion deformity in a patient with GNAS mutation (c.719-1G > A Chr20: 57484737) in West Asia.

SummaryFibrosis of the iliopsoas muscle can result in pelvic limb lameness in dogs. In this case report we describe fibrosis after an initial injury of the iliopsoas muscle in a dog. A seven-year-old hunting dog developed an acute onset of lameness and pain of the left pelvic limb after an intense period of exercise. Two months later, the dog was referred for evaluation of a non-weight-bearing left pelvic limb lameness. Orthopaedic examination revealed pain on hyperextension and internal rotation of the left coxofemoral joint. Neurological examination revealed a decreased patellar reflex in the left pelvic limb. Computed tomographic images showed non-uniform, contrast enhancement of the left iliopsoas muscle. The animal was treated with an iliopsoas tenomyectomy. Histopathological examination of the affected iliopsoas muscle revealed endomysial and perimysial mature fibrous replacement tissue. Sixteen weeks after surgery, the dog had returned to pre-injury levels of exercise.

Abstract: A three-year-old Lhasa apso was presented with a history of fall from a height resulting in limping of the right hind limb. It was radiographically diagnosed as a complete, transverse, displaced supracondylar fracture of the femur. The fractured fragments were reduced and stabilized by cross pinning technique using k-wires, and the weight-bearing was seen from 3rd post-operative day. On the seventh post-operative day, the same animal was presented with limping on the same limb due to sudden fall from a height again. Radiographically it was confirmed as catastrophic implant failure with collapsed fragments. In surgery, the migrated pins were removed and the fragments were restabilized by cross pinning using k-wires. Post-operative application of robertjones bandage and regular physiotherapy was provided. The animal showed complete weight-bearing from 10th post-operative day, and the full radiographic union was observed on 35th post-operative day.

A six-month-old male domestic shorthair cat was referred with a history of acute-onset paraplegia, over the previous two months. The neurological examination revealed a thoracolumbar lesion. After myelography and myelo-computed tomography (myelo-CT), the diagnosis of a T13–L1 subarachnoid pseudocyst potentially related to a previous L1 vertebral body fracture or malformation was made. Surgical decompression consisted in dorsal laminectomy followed by durotomy and marsupialisation. Immediately after surgery the cat improved neurologically and showed progressive improvement of his neurological signs over the next few months, until he died, from unrelated causes, approximately 18 months after surgery.
