Two serotypes of the herpes simplex virus (HSV) have been identified that can infect any cutaneous site of the body. While HSV-1 most commonly causes gingivostomatitis and a subsequent recurrent labial herpes,[1] HSV-2 is most frequently associated with genital herpes.[2] Both infections are common, and almost all of their clinical presentations are well established. However, the clinical presentation of HSV infections of the hand is less well-described and less known in adults and even lesser-known in the pediatric age group.

Synovium holds proliferative properties which may in some cases result in abnormal production of small clumps or nodules of hyaline cartilage. These nodules eventually break free from synovial tissue in time and become loose bodies with varying sizes in the joint. While smaller bodies lead to locking symptoms in the joint, larger ones cause mechanical erosion of the cartilage. Knee is the most commonly affected joint followed by hip.[1] There are also reports about wrist, elbow and, far less commonly, shoulder and ankle joint involvement.[2-4] The classical approach would be arthrotomy and synovectomy, but owing to advancements in arthroscopic techniques and instrument design, arthroscopy has emerged as a viable option in recent years.[3,4] Although arthroscopy is a much less invasive technique with faster recovery Synovial chondromatosis (SC) rarely occurs in the shoulder and ankle joints. An intervention is necessary, as irreversible cartilage injury or transformation to chondrosarcoma may occur. Offering advantages such as faster recovery and lower rates of complication, arthroscopic techniques can be considered instead of open surgery. Herein, we describe three cases of SC, one in shoulder and two in ankle joints. Patients were young adult males and all underwent arthroscopic excision and two had synovectomy. At 18 months of follow-up there was no recurrence and no malignancy and symptoms were alleviated in all patients. In conclusion, arthroscopic removal of all loose bodies and synovectomy in primary SC can be regarded as a safe and effective treatment with low morbidity, rapid recovery, and good outcomes. Histological confirmation of the diagnosis is necessary as malignant transformation is possible.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) has a wide spectrum of deformities, from a mildly dysplastic hip to a severely dysplastic or fully dislocated hip.[1] There is still little information about the exact etiopathogenesis of DDH and many genetic, mechanical and environmental risk factors are effective in its development. Although the diagnosis of DDH is usually made at an early age, there may be cases diagnosed in adolescence or adulthood. In case of late diagnosis, the probability of complications increases exponentially in the long-term.[2]

Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is a rare disorder most commonly manifested with respiratory insufficiency following long bone fractures or orthopedic surgery. The reported risk of FES following orthopedic trauma ranges between 1 to 30%.[1] The classical triad of FES includes respiratory insufficiency, neurological impairment, and petechial skin rash.[2] It usually occurs 24 to 72 h following the initial insult.[1] The clinical entity in which neurological signs and symptoms predominate is defined as cerebral FES (CFES). Neurological complications of CFES include ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes with focal neurological deficits, headache, apraxia, vision loss, seizures, convulsive and non-convulsive status epilepticus, autonomic dysfunction, acute encephalopathy, confusion, and coma.[3,4] Given the wide range of clinical signs and symptoms, the diagnosis depends on excluding other causes in high-risk patients with a history of trauma and surgery. Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is a disease that manifests with respiratory distress, neurological impairment, and petechial rash and develops due to embolization of fat particles into several organs after long bone fractures or orthopedic surgery. A 26-year-old male patient developed sudden vision loss 24 h after the tibial fracture. Except for visual acuity, other neurological and ophthalmological examinations were normal. He had transient cortical blindness due to central fat embolism secondary to dislocated tibia fracture. Although the major diagnostic criteria of FES include at least two skin, pulmonary and neurological involvements, cerebral fat embolism may occur alone without any additional organ involvement. Multiple brain fat embolism may lead to cortical blindness, which is usually transient.

Stress fractures are mostly seen in the tibia, fibula, navicular, and metatarsal bones in the lower extremities due to overuse injury. A 27-year-old male patient, working as a surgical resident in a tertiary referral hospital, presented with pain on the right foot and difficulty in weight bearing and walking. His symptoms developed approximately a month after being diagnosed with novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and receiving systemic corticosteroid treatment. His history revealed weight gain and excessive working hours. He was diagnosed with stress fracture of the fourth metatarsal basis and treated conservatively. In conclusion, possible muscle/tendon, and bone pathologies and stress fractures secondary to systemic corticosteroid use and increased body mass index should be kept in mind, while evaluating the complaints of patients who have had COVID-19 and have a history of systemic steroid use in daily orthopedic practice, considering the side effects of steroids on the musculoskeletal system.

Avulsion fractures of the pelvis are usually observed in the skeletally immature population, particularly those who are involved in sports. Sprint running, sudden accelerating, and decelerating are the most common activities leading to avulsion fracture. This condition is more common in males than in females.[1] The occurrence mechanism of these fractures is sudden and strong contraction of the muscle attached to the apophysis.[2]

The incidence of osteoporosis and proximal femoral fracture (PFF) of the geriatric population has been increasing with the increasing population in the world and the prolongation of life span.[1,2] Osteosynthesis is seen as the first choice in the patient group who can tolerate surgical intervention. Proximal femur nail (PFN) and dynamic hip screw (DHS) are often used for this purpose. Reduction of the fracture and placement of the lag screw in the most appropriate position play an important role in the success of both methods.[3] To meet these conditions, it is necessary to obtain an appropriate anteroposterior (AP) and lateral fluoroscopy view.

The human body is an intermediate host for Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus), which is the most common cause of hydatid disease. This type of parasite mostly affects the liver and lungs. Primary involvement of subcutaneous tissue is extremely rare. A 51-year-old female presented with the complaint of swelling on the upper medial right thigh. On ultrasonography, a cystic lesion with thick walls, approximately 50¥90 mm in size, was observed approximately 8.5 mm from the skin within the muscle planes in the medial section of the right thigh. Entry was made over the mass from the medial thigh and the mass was totally excised. The histopathological diagnosis was confirmed as hydatid cyst. No pathological findings consistent with hydatid cyst were determined in the liver or other systems. In particular, in areas of endemic hydatid disease, it must be kept in mind that these types of atypical localizations, other than in the liver and lungs, can be encountered in many different anatomic regions.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is the most frequent and severe subtype of seronegative spondyloarthropathies.[1,2] It typically affects the axial joints, most notably the sacroiliac joints; however, other sites of involvement, including peripheral joints and extra-articular manifestations, are also observed.[3-5] Pharmacological management of AS includes disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) such as anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents to control the disease progression. However, patients with AS may still present impairments accompanied by pain and decreased function and quality of life (QoL).[1-4] In some cases, the systematic effect of AS disease and Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), which is a chronic inflammatory disease, is the most frequent and severe subtype of seronegative spondyloarthropathies. Although it typically affects the axial skeleton, the spine, peripheral joints, and entheses are frequently involved as well as extra-articular manifestations. In this case report, we present the clinical picture of malignant melanoma on the plantar surface of the foot, which is a rare side effect of anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy, as well as wrist arthritis, a very rare manifestation of AS. In addition, it dramatically illustrates how devastating AS can be for peripheral joints, while demonstrating the impact of arthroplasty and arthrodesis procedures on the patient's functional status.

Congenital aplasia of the scaphoid bone without thumb or radial hypoplasia is a rare condition. In the literature, there are seven case reports of congenital scaphoid aplasia without other congenital abnormalities, but none of them are current. Scaphoid hypoplasia and aplasia have been defined with syndromes such as radial hemimelia, absence of thumb, vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac anomalies, tracheoesophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and limb abnormalities (VACTERL), Holt-Oram syndrome (heart defects and upper extremity anomalies), and thrombocytopenia-radius anomalies (TAR). This is a very rare case diagnosed in the pediatric age group with hypoplasia of the biceps brachii ipsilateral to scaphoid aplasia. Herein, a 12-year-old boy with unilateral scaphoid agenesis is presented, and its clinical and imaging findings as well as the treatment are discussed.
