✍ Authored by Dr. Ken Ichikawa, Dr. Akira Maeyama, Dr. Tetsuro Ishimatsu, Dr. Taiki Matsunaga, Dr. Shizuhide Nakayama, Dr. Takuaki Yamamoto

🧠 Key Insight This case report presents a 13-year-old boy with chronic massive osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee, initially misdiagnosed and later found to have a large osteochondral defect associated with a discoid meniscus. Surgical management included osteochondral fragment fixation using bioabsorbable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) pins along with meniscal correction. Despite the chronic nature of the lesion and fragments consisting largely of cartilage, successful bony fusion was achieved within months, with significant functional improvement and return to sports by 6 months. The case highlights that even chronic and extensive OCD lesions can heal effectively with stable fixation, and bioabsorbable implants offer the advantage of avoiding implant removal while supporting cartilage repair.

✍ Authored by Dr. Konchada Srikant, Dr. Piyush Sharma, Dr. Bibhudutta Sahoo, Dr. Swatantra Aurbindo Mohanty, Dr. Anuraag Mohanty, Dr. Sunny Basantani.

🧠 Key Insight This retrospective study evaluated 5 patients with proximal radioulnar synostosis (PRUS) following olecranon plating, a condition where abnormal bone formation between the radius and ulna severely restricts forearm rotation.

The surgical approach involved complete excision of the synostotic bone along with interposition of an autologous tensor fascia lata (TFL) graft harvested from the thigh. This graft acts as a biological barrier to prevent re-fusion while allowing smooth rotational movement.

At final follow-up, patients showed significant improvement in forearm rotation (from ~12° to ~70°) along with better functional outcomes and return to daily activities. Recurrence was minimal, and donor-site complications were negligible.

The study highlights that fascia lata interposition combined with meticulous excision and early mobilization is a reliable, low-recurrence solution for restoring forearm movement in PRUS. However, larger studies are needed to validate long-term outcomes.

✍ Authored by Dr. Ashwini Dhopte, Dr. Soumya Iranna Dudhani, Dr. Chirag R Vaniya, Dr. Vijay Shankar, Dr. Sumit Bhatt, Dr. Sejal Gupta

🧠 Key Insight This cross-sectional study evaluated 60 rheumatoid arthritis patients and 30 healthy controls to assess temporomandibular joint (TMJ) degeneration using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS).

The findings revealed that RA patients had significantly higher rates of joint damage, including cortical erosions, osteophyte formation, condylar flattening, and reduced joint space, indicating progressive degeneration.

CBCT proved superior in detecting detailed bony changes, while ultrasound was more effective in identifying soft tissue abnormalities such as synovitis, joint effusion, and vascularity.

Importantzly, the study highlights that combining both imaging modalities provides a more comprehensive and accurate diagnosis, enabling early detection of TMJ involvement—even in asymptomatic patients—and helping prevent irreversible joint damage and functional impairment

✍ Authored by: Dr. I M Maqbal Muhasin Nazar, Dr. Sharafuddeen Mammu, Dr. V H Nidhin Chacko, Dr. Rahul Chandran, Dr. Ashwin Rajamohanan, Dr. Shaneed Karinkappara

🧠 Key Insight: This case report describes a patient presenting with spontaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture, an extremely rare event, which led to the discovery of primary hyperparathyroidism due to a parathyroid adenoma. Timely bilateral tendon repair followed by adenoma excision resulted in excellent functional recovery, emphasizing the importance of evaluating systemic causes in atypical musculoskeletal injuries
