Hydroxyapatite deposition disease (HADD) of the spring ligament: an unusual cause of medial foot pain
AbstractFoot pain is one of the most common presenting complaints in orthopaedic clinical practice and can be attributed to a multitude of pathologies in the various osseous structures, ligaments, and tendons of the foot. The spring ligament complex (SLC) between the calcaneum and navicular supports the talus and plays a major role in the static stability of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot. Although calcific ligamentous enthesopathy around the ankle has been described in the literature, we report the first case of its kind affecting the SLC in a 51-year-old male with medial foot pain and no history of trauma. We h...

Effect of cervical changes on the cesarean scar area and niche formation after preterm and term cesarean sections
ConclusionThe gestational week and cervical changes did not affect the prevalence of the niche. In cases of active labor and preterm deliveries, the CS scar defect was located in the cervical canal; however, in cases of term deliveries, it was located in the isthmic area.

A uterine malformation diagnosed in the shock room: a case report which helps to identify how to avoid a potentially preventable life-threatening event
AbstractAn Indian wonen at her second pregnancy, with a previous preterm labour at 34.5 weeks, presented to the emergency room at 15.6 weeks, shocked due to massive hemoperitoneum. During the urgent surgery, a Mullerian malformation was detected, and a uterine rupture was diagnosed as the cause of the hemoperitoneum. Ultrasound and pelvic magnetic resonance results confirmed the mal formation, determining that a unicornuate uterus with a rudimental horn within the pregnancy had taken place. We decided to report our case to underline that Mullerian malformation must be taken into consideration and evaluated at each routi...

Inter and intra-examiner reliability of musculoskeletal ultrasound scanning of Anterior Talofibular Ligament and ankle muscles
ConclusionThis study shows a high level of inter-intra examiner reliability in measuring the structures possibly related to CAI. Future research has been planned to investigate the structural analysis in CAI by using applied MSUS protocol. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound)

Shear wave elastography ultrasound does not quantify mechanical properties of the ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow
ConclusionsSWE stiffness did not correlate with mechanical measurements. Clinical utility of musculoskeletal SWE may be better defined when biomechanical properties or clinical outcomes can be correlated with SWE measurements. The ultimate clinical utility of SWE in musculoskeletal tissues may be qualitative, as demonstrated by differences throughout the length of the UCL in this study. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound)
