Coracoid process fractures are unusual injuries especially in children. They are frequently associated with additional injuries of shoulder girdle. We report a rare case of fracture of the base of coracoid process associated with a fracture of distal end of the clavicle in an immature skeleton. The diagnosis was confirmed by CT-scan. The fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation. Functional outcomes were good. .
The clinical signs of coracoid fracture are not specific and f...

Mohs technique is a precise method for removing skin tumors that, during excision, preserves healthy tissue. Common skin tumors treated with this technique are squamous and basal cell carcinoma. The American College of Mohs Surgery has established guidelines for the use of the technique. Tumor localization, patient characteristics, and tumor features should be considered when assessing whether this technique is the right choice. It’s useful in regions such as eyelids, lips and genitals. There ar...

The network of lymphatic vessels in the skin has been studied for centuries. In 1984, Sappey published an atlas of lymphatic vessels. The discovery of lymphoscintigraphy around 1950 renewed interest in verifying the pathways of lymphatic vessels in patients with skin melanoma. Lymphoscintigraphy quickly became an indispensable technique for mapping sentinel lymph nodes. Detecting sentinel lymph nodes is essential for conducting adequate diagnostics, appropriately staging patients, and administer...

Background: Limb amputation is a surgical procedure performed out of necessity, resulting in severe disability, poor quality of life (QOL), and poor socio-professional reintegration. We aimed to assess the QOL of patients with lower limb amputations before and after having their prosthesis and to evaluate their satisfaction at the first consultation and 6 months later. Methods: A prospective study was held for 1 year, involving patients with lower limb amputatio...

The knee joint injuries are one of the most common injuries of the human body. Since the medical examination is often insufficient to make a clinical diagnosis, we use additional diagnostic methods such as magnetic resonance imaging and arthroscopy. The aim of this work is to compare a magnetic resonance imaging and arthroscopic examination in meniscal and anterior cruciate ligament injury diagnosis. The study included 100 patients treated by knee arthroscopy with previously performed magnetic r...

Introduction: Distal radius fractures are among the most frequent musculoskeletal injuries, accounting for over 17% of fractures treated in emergency care centers. The primary objective is to promote healing and restore the pre-injury level of functionality. Treatment generally involves two phases: initial care and definitive surgery, where volar locking plates are used to stabilize fractures, presenting a low risk of complications. Personalized rehabilitation plans are crucial in this context. ...

Hernia is a condition in which part of an organ is displaced and protrudes through the wall of the cavity containing it. A spigelian hernia is a rare type of ventral hernia, principally acquired. Surgery is the only way to treat a spigelian hernia, either by a regular surgical operation or through laparoscopic repair. We present the parietal repair of a large spigelian hernia by muscle plasty and placement of a plate in a 59-year-old patient. The patient had an abdominal ptosis and a surgical hi...

Carpometacarpal joint luxation, excluding the thumb, is very uncommon and this injury is often missed at initial examination. The 3rd and 4th carpometacarpal joint fracture-dislocation combined with a 5th carpometacarpal luxation is extremely rare. A few reports have been previously described regarding a neglected type of this injury. A 26-year-old, male laborer, sustained an injury and was admitted to our hospital 5 months later. We reported the case and treatment by using a simple operative te...

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is one of the most common infective diseases nowadays. There are many factors like clinical, anatomical, and environmental that triggered this disease. In gender differentiation, women are more prone to UTI than men though male UTI is not a rare issue overall. But above all, the impact of clinical factors on UTI has been proven to disease aggravating undoubtedly. Different recent scientific surveys showed organisms that expand nosocomial infection prevalence, are mo...
