..The patient was treated conservatively with analgesics and limited weight bearing. Four weeks later, range of motion was normal without pain and at eighth week the hip flexors regained full strength...

..We evaluated prognostic factors in patients with malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the extremity...

..The treatment is surgical excision with wide margins. Here we present three patients who had primary leiomyosarcoma of radius, ilium, and femur, respectively, and who were treated surgically...

..Given that some studies have found BMD to be significantly higher in patients with osteoarthritis, the lack of such relation in our patients may be due to environmental and/or genetic factors...

..We evaluated surgical treatment of patients with chondromyxoid fibroma...

..We found that the outcome of treatment with the Pavlik harness was related to Graf type, age at start of treatment, and bilaterality...

..67 mmHg (not significant). In short, differences in compartment pressure and limb circumference before and after treatment were statistically significant in the saturated salt solution group (p = 0.005) but not in the control group...

..Two patients died from metastases to the lung. Of the remaining nine patients, eight were ambulatory, with seven needing support to walk. One patient was unable to walk at all due to lower extremity muscle weakness...

..In patients who have undergone total knee arthroplasty, complaints of groin pain that radiates to the involved knee should alert to the possibility of a stress fracture of the femoral neck...

..The patient did not accept surgery for the lesions were not associated with a significant discomfort. To our knowledge, such a digit has hitherto not been reported in the cervical region...

..For the detection of hips having mature development, this provided a specificity of 100% (by definition) and a sensitivity of 82.6%. For hips having pathological development, specificity was 100% and sensitivity was 79.2%...

..One patient with involvement of the left thigh developed lung and brain metastases at the end of postoperative eight years. One patient with tibial involvement remained disease-free during 10 months of follow-up...

..Fibrous dysplasia is generally considered a static disease, but with long-term follow-up it is found to have a more dynamic nature. For this reason, patients with fibrous dysplasia should be followed carefully over the long-term...

..This study retrospectively reviewed 28 patients who presented with chondroblastoma in our hospital during the period March 1986 to February 2006. We investigated factors associated with local recurrence of the tumors after surgery...

..Given its low specificity, our findings suggest that clinical examination does not reliably detect ultrasonographically defined developmental dysplasia of the hip in infants being screened for this disease...

..In conclusion, due to the large resection that is often necessary for aggressive tumors, fibular autograft and ankle arthrodesis may be a useful method in the distal tibia...

..Although it is usually treated successfully with curettage, wide excision should be considered along with careful follow-up over the long term owing to the possibility of recurrence or malignant transformation...

..Here we present a 72-year-old male patient who had primary angiosarcoma of the fibula. He was treated with amputation, and the metastases that later emerged were successfully managed with chemotherapy...

..The Bowdler spurs reported on in the previous pertinent literature were observed in the perinatal aged patients and these lesions have rarely involved adolescents. We herein report on a 14-year-old girl with fibular Bowdler spurs...

..With the humerus in 90 degrees abduction, the acromiohumeral distance was significantly reduced (Student's t test). This result suggests that impingement syndrome may have a functional component...
