Hip Arthroscopy: Where We Are, and Where We Are Going.

Delayed presentation of a caecal haematoma initially managed as appendicitis

A 15-year-old boy with caecal haematoma required a right hemicolectomy due to development of small bowel obstruction and near caecal perforation having presented several days after an episode of minor trauma. The position of the caecum between intraperitoneal and extraperitoneal bowel requires special treatment considerations. This is a unique case in an adolescent because caecal haematoma usually presents acutely with abdominal pain.

Skin mucormycosis presenting as an erythema-nodosum-like rash in a renal transplant recipient: a case report

IntroductionCutaneous mucormycosis is a rare entity related to kidney transplantation. It usually presents with ecthyma-like lesions and black necrotic cellulitis. We report an unusual case of primary cutaneous mucormycosis presenting as erythema-nodosum-like lesions in a woman who had received a renal transplant.Case presentationA 49-year-old woman with diabetes received a living-unrelated kidney transplant. Her clinical course was uneventful for the first six months after transplantation. She then developed multiple, painful, erythema-nodosum-like lesions on her right leg and thigh following an episode of minor trauma. Mucormycosis was diagnosed by skin biopsy. Microscopic examination also showed panniculitis. The patient was treated successfully with amphotericin B and surgical resection. To our knowledge, this is the first description of primary cutaneous mucormycosis with erythema-nodosum-like lesions and panniculitis after renal transplantation.ConclusionCutaneous mucormycosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a kidney transplant recipient develops erythema-nodosum-like lesions with panniculitis.

4:32 94. Does minor trauma cause serious low back pain? a prospective 5-year study in subjects with pre-existing degenerative changes

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: The effect of minor trauma on the development of serious LBP illness is not clear. Minor traffic collisions and falls are often said to cause serious chronic LBP in otherwise healthy persons. Conversely, many episodes of minor trauma are never reported or are unassociated with long-term problems. Finally severe LBP often develops without any specific event.

Orbital Emphysema with Vision Impairment after Minor Trauma-Two Case Reports

Orbital emphysema is a common presentation of orbital fractures, and it is generally a benign, self-limited condition. The presence of intraorbital air indicates paranasal-orbital communication that results mainly from medial wall fracture. However, visual complication may occur if a check-valve effect develops. Because of the potential risk for severe visual loss, orbital emphysema with associated vision dysfunction should prompt a CT scan and require decompression. Orbital emphysema may occur as a result of minor trauma that is insufficient to cause obvious bony injury, and the risk of visual complication may be neglected. We report two cases of orbital emphysema after an episode of minor trauma. These patients experienced visual compromise and they settled with surgical decompression by lateral canthotomy and cantholysis. The visual acuity recovered completely. Postoperative follow-up showed no recurrence or complication.
