Deliberate injection of hydrocarbon remains an uncommon method of self harm. There is a paucity of information pertaining to soft tissue toxicity throughout the literature. Prompt recognition of the potential ramifications is needed to try salvage limb function. Hydrocarbon toxicity can result in multi organ failure. This case report demonstrates the recommended diagnostic approach, work up and treatment involved in such a case. A 26 year old male deliberately injected petrol into the anterior compartment of his non dominant forearm in a suicide attempt. Multidisciplinary involvement from surgeons, psychiatrists and hand therapists was needed to maximize functional outcome. He avoided systemic toxicity but required an urgent fasciotomy. He required significant follow up with hand therapy to regain usage of the limb. However his long term outcomes were poor with a power grading 3/5 in the anterior compartment muscles.

Dentists are disappointed after delivery of cast removable partial dentures because their patient refuses or is unable to wear the denture and the treatment is therefore deemed unsuccessful. When so many patients do not comply with treatment, it is instructive to reflect on why and how the treatment is performed. Appropriate, comprehensive treatment planning should precede and eliciting the patient's chief complaint, as well as his or her expectations of treatment before treatment planning. The case presentation provides for the practitioner to discuss the patient's expectations and to outline both favourable and unfavourable short and long term outcomes. By providing this information, the practitioner ensures that the patient is fully informed before giving consent and that he or she understands the associated benefits and risks.

Osteoid osteomas may be treated medically or surgically; both have similar long-term outcomes. Nonetheless, only surgery allows complete excision of the lesion for histological analysis. Excessive removal of surrounding bone may destabilise and weaken the bony structure and predispose it to fractures. We describe a surgical technique using a bone graft trephine to enable precise lesion removal with minimal bone excision.

Introduction. Parathyroidectomy is the curative treatment option in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). The decrease of parathormone (PTH) by 50% or more from levels prior to surgery after excision predicts successful parathyroidectomy. Serum calcium is expected to return to normal within 24–72 hours after the surgery; however, nearly 10% have transient, persistent postoperative hypercalcemia. We present a case report of delayed calcium normalization after successful parathyroidectomy in a 38-year-old patient with PHPT. Methods. Parathyroidectomy was performed, with evidence of a decrease in PTH levels of more than 50% in the first 24 hours postoperatively compared to presurgical PTH; however, despite curative parathyroidectomy, a delayed calcium normalization was evidenced, with hypercalcemia persistence up to 120 hours postoperatively. Results. After the first month postoperatively, serum calcium remained normal. In conclusion, approximately 10% of patients with curative parathyroidectomy have transient, persistent postoperative hypercalcemia, which is more likely to occur in patients with higher preoperative serum calcium and PTH levels. Conclusion. Persistent hypercalcemia after the first month postoperatively is related with persistent PHPT, highlighting the importance of calcium monitoring after parathyroidectomy to predict short-term, medium-term, and long-term outcomes and prognosis.

Glenoid Dysplasia

The purpose of this case report is to report the long-term outcome following shoulder hemiarthroplasty in a patient with dwarfism. A 60-year old female with pseudoachondroplasia dwarfism presented 17 years post-operative with a Subjective Shoulder Value of 90% and minimal pain. Custom designed implants were critical for surgical success. Preoperative planning with a CT scan was important in assessing glenoid dysplasia and determining the feasibility of glenoid resurfacing. The emergence of 3D CT virtual preoperative planning tools can further assist in the recognition of deformity to determine if custom designed implants are needed. Shoulder arthroplasty in dwarfism can lead to excellent long-term outcomes.
