Neurilemoma of the tibial nerve in the popliteal fossa A case report

1993

We report a case of a 61 year old man who had a history of 4 years right leg pain. Clinical and radiological examination and MRI revealed a soft tissue mass in the popliteal fossa.

To our knowledge this is the first case of a neurilemoma located in the tibial nerve reported in the literature.

Nonreamed flexible locked intramedullary nailing in tibial open fractures

1998

Thirty-nine open unstable tibial shaft fractures were treated with a nonreamed flexible locked intramedullary nail between 1992 and 1995. There were 23 Grade I, 12 Grade II, three Grade IIIA, and one Grade IIIB fractures. The average time of followup assessment was 24 months. The average time to fracture union was 24 weeks. Complications were related in most cases to fractures with highly unstable patterns and extensive soft tissue lesions. There were five (12.5%) delayed unions and one (2.5%) nonunion. Deep infections developed in three (7.7%) patients. One patient required an additional procedure to correct a varus malunion. There were no implant failures. It was concluded that nonreamed …
