Injuries of the peroneus longus and os peroneum are rarely reported. Two cases are presented, each occurring with an inversion stress and resultant audible snap. One patient sustained a complete ...spontaneous disruption of the peroneus longus with fracture of the os peroneum. This 64-year-old male was treated by excision of the proximal fracture fragment of the os peroneum and primary tendon repair. A 2-week prodrome of pain in the lateral aspect of the foot, preceded the rupture. Case 2, a 39-year-old female, was treated nonoperatively, and represents the clinical dilemma that may occur when the os peroneum is traumatized. It is emphasized that diagnosis of fracture of this ossicle can only be confirmed with operative excision and microscopic study. The authors recommend primary surgical treatment in those cases where continuity of the peroneus longus is disrupted. Where continuity is maintained, surgical exploration should be reserved for those cases that fail to respond to prolonged and intensive rehabilitation. Both patients regained full function and remain symptom free 11 and 10 months after treatment.
The authors present a brief review of the literature concerning magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as applied to the musculoskeletal system. Two patients are presented with nonspecific foot pain. MRI ...demonstrated an area of hyperintensity, suggestive of an inflammatory process, in both cases. Biopsy later confirmed the diagnosis of chronic inflammation.
Electron microscopic investigations on the cells obtained from tissue cultures of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus var. Linda), have demonstrated the presence of two types of particular formations in ...the nucleus: a) electrondense loose bodies, composed of fibrillary structures; b) unelectrondense spherical-oval areas, with a slightly expressed structure. The possible connection of these structures with the nucleolus and nucleus-membrane functions, as well as their role in the rRNA synthesis and in the transfer processes through nucleus and cytoplasm, are discussed.
Soft tissue malignancies represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to the podiatric physician. In order to improve prognosis and increase survival rates of affected patients, prompt clinical ...and histologic recognition of suspect lesions is necessary. Here we present information and case reports on selected soft tissue malignancies including Kaposi's sarcoma, malignant melanoma, synovial sarcoma, and epithelioid sarcoma to aid the practitioner in recognizing these serious lesions that occur in the foot.
