Osteochondroma rarely develops from the carpal bones. We report a first case in which a dorsal osteochondroma of the lunate caused attritional rupture of the tendon of the extensor indicis proprius and a tendon of the extensor digitorum communis of index finger.

A 73-year-old female suffered spontaneous rupture of the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) tendons, for which she presented for treatment three to four weeks later. At that time there was no active metacarpophalangeal (MCP) or interphalangeal (IP) extension, leading to severe functional impairment of her hand. Since both the EPL and the EPB tendons were ruptured, transfer of the extensor indicis proprius (EIP) tendon was carried out for the EPL and transfer of the accessory abductor pollicis longus (AAPL) was carried out for the EPB. After a three-month period of follow-up, the thumb motion was restored and the patient was able to resume all activities of daily living. Although concomitant spontaneous rupture of both the EPL and the EPB is rare, transfer of the EIP and the AAPL tendons, respectively, seems to be the treatment of choice for anatomic reconstruction of such injuries.

Tendon transfer with extensor indicis proprius (EIP) has been performed widely for reconstructing ruptures of the extensor pollicis longus because of its simplicity and clinical outcome. We experienced a rerupture of the extensor pollicis longus restored by incorrect tendon transfer because of a major unrecognized variation in the anatomy of the EIP. Surgeons should perform such transfer with a detailed knowledge of the possible anatomical variations to avoid such serious complications.

Purpose Misophonia is a sound tolerance disorder condition in certain sounds that trigger intense emotional or physiological responses. While some persons may experience misophonia, a few patients suffer from misophonia. However, there is a dearth of literature on audiological assessment and management of persons with misophonia. The purpose of this report is to discuss the assessment of misophonia and highlight the management option that helped a patient with misophonia. Method A case study of a 26-year-old woman with the complaint of decreased tolerance to specific sounds affecting quality of life is reported. Audiological assessment differentiated misophonia from hyperacusis. Management included retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy based on the principles described by P. J. Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2014). A misophonia questionnaire was administered at regular intervals to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. Results A detailed case history and audiological evaluations including pure-tone audiogram and Johnson Hyperacusis Index revealed the presence of misophonia. The patient benefitted from intervention, and the scores of the misophonia questionnaire indicated a decrease in the severity of the problem. Conclusions It is important to differentially diagnose misophonia and hyperacusis in persons with sound tolerance disorders. Retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy can help patients who suffer from misophonia.
