Introduction and importance Multiple etiologies for snapping shoulder syndrome have been described in the existing literature. Scapular osteochondroma is considered as a rare etiology and bilateral scapular osteochondroma have rarely been reported to date. Patient can present with discomfort, pain and crepitation. Multiple surgical methods were described and the patient underwent two different surgical methods with preferable outcome for arthroscopic side. Case presentation: 24 year-old male who is known case of Multiple Hereditary Exostosis (MHE) since childhood presented with bilateral shoulder pain and snapping scapula. Computed tomography demonstrated bilateral ventral scapular osteochondromas. One side treated with open excision and other side with arthroscopic excision. Clinical discussion Patient exhibited resolution of symptoms, restoration of function on both sides, but he reported cosmetic preference over arthroscopic side and faster recovery from surgery as well in terms of pain resolution and rehabilitation. Conclusion: Osteochondroma should by one of differential diagnoses for snapping shoulder syndrome. Despite arthroscopic excision is technically demanding, it carries better outcome compared to open excision.
Supracondylar fracture is one of the most frequent pediatric traumas and surgically managed fractures. Multiple factors can contribute to delaying surgical management of supracondylar fracture, which is thought to lead to difficult reduction and more complications. Surgical treatment during the nighttime shift (from 20:00-8:00) might increase the complication rate including vascular injury, nerve injury, and the need to convert closed reduction to open due to multiple reasons including nontrained staff, exhausted on-call team, and other reasons. We are looking into the effect of delaying surgical intervention 24 hours from the trauma to the surgical intervention and the impact of daytime or night-time surgeries on perioperative complications. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on all patients who presented with supracondylar fracture Gartland type 2 or 3 who required surgical intervention (63 patients) from 2018-2021 in an academic institute. All patients presented with unilateral injury. Patients were divided into an early surgical group where the surgery was done within the first 24 hours from the trauma and a delayed surgical group if performed after 24 hours. Additionally, patients were classified based on the time of the day surgery was performed into daytime or nighttime surgeries. The complication rate was compared between the groups. Most of the patients were male, and the mean age was 4.52 ± 2.28 years. No significant difference was found between the early and delayed groups in the complication rate. Nerve and vascular injury were statistically higher for cases operated at nighttime. Delayed surgical treatment of supracondylar fracture doesn't affect the complication rate, whereas closed reduction of supracondylar fractures that were performed during nighttime duty was shown to lead to a higher rate of vascular and nerve injuries.

This lack of consensus has established no specific recommendations or radiographic criteria for identifying and treating hip dysplasia. Closed reduction, open reduction and skin traction, and hip spika are just a few of the therapeutic options available. The study focuses on infants under the age of 12 months. It will look at the effects of reducing the amount of closure on them. A retrospective study looked back at patients treated with closed reduction at a great referral medical center before
Background: Os acromiale (OA) is an uncommon pathology with a variable prevalence rate among different populations. Objectives: The aim of this study was to report the frequency of OA utilizing shoulder MRI of patients with shoulder pathology. Methods: It was a retrospective study. After obtaining our IRB approval, we gathered all shoulder and upper arm MRIs from the radiology department and evaluated them. Results: The prevalence of OA was found to be 3.32%. The mean age of the affected patients was 50.87 years (25–81). Conclusion: The rate of OA in patients presenting with shoulder pain is 3.32% in Saudi Arabia, which correlates with what has been previously reported in the literature.
The foot and ankle deformities associated with fibular hemimelia are considered the most complex aspect of the disease. The goal of treatment at the end of treatment for fibular hemimelia is a plantigrade foot. The main scope of the treatment before the last decade was amputation, which was thought to be the only option to provide the best functional outcome. Over the last two decades, many procedures have been published with variable outcomes. This article provides a focused review of the foot and ankle aspects of fibular hemimelia, along with multiple surgical options described in the literature and their associated outcomes.
