- Primary Total Elbow Arthroplasty in the Treatment of Complex Elbow Fracture: A Case ReportPublication . Campos, PM; Rosa, B; Barros, A; Durão, C; Magalhães, G; Júlio, C; Quinaz-Neto, PIntroduction: Some elbow fractures are very complex with inadequate bone stock, so it is not possible to perform a stable fixation. However, loss of basic elbow function can severely affect daily living activities. There are few alternatives to internal fixation, but arthroplasty can be a reasonable option. The aim of this case report is to evaluate the role of primary total elbow arthroplasty in the treatment of complex elbow fractures. Case study: A 54-year-old male patient presented at our emergency department in the sequence of a motorcycle accident, which caused an open fracture of the left elbow, classified as type IIIB of Gustilo and Anderson. The X-ray showed comminuted fractures of distal humerus and proximal ulna with bone loss from both epiphysis. He started antibiotherapy and was submitted to immediate surgical debridement, provisional fixation with an external fixator and skin closure. The external fixator was removed 2 months after, when the patient presented with great elbow instability. The X-ray and the Computed Tomography showed signals of malunion and bone loss, which prevented any kind of fixation. Therefore, 3 months after, the patient was submitted to elbow joint replacement. A posterior approach was used, in which the triceps was reflected and was applied a linked arthroplasty - Coonrad-Morrey total elbow arthroplasty. On the second week after surgery, passive motion was started and by the fourth week, progressed to active motion. Six months after, he presented without significant pain and with a range of motion of 0° to 135º. Conclusions: Although rarely used, total elbow arthroplasty may be the choice in selected patients with elbow fractures with loss of bone. As shown in this case, this treatment can lead to a satisfactory functional recovery. Despite having some complications, more recent studies encourage its use in the future.

- Solitary bone plasmacytoma of the pelvis: a rare tumorPublication . Karmali, S; Barros, A; Rosa, B; Campos, P; Gonçalves, R; Sá da Costa, D; López-Presa, DSolitary bone plasmacytomas are part of a wide range of monoclonal neoplasms that share a common progenitor in the B lymphocyte lineage. In their particular case, a single bone lesion is found, most frequently on the axial skeleton, having evidence of no other osteolytic lesions or systemic involvement. Diagnosis can sometimes prove to be difficult as they are rare tumors, occurring in 3 to 5% (up to 10% in some series) of patients with plasma cell neoplasms, with important considerations regarding the differential diagnosis. We report a case of a solitary bone plasmacytoma, found on the ala of the left ilium of a patient during a routine consult due to hip pain.
- Spinous Process Osteochondroma as a Rare Cause of Lumbar PainPublication . Rosa, B; Campos, P; Barros, A; Karmali, S; Ussene, E; Durão, C; Alves da Silva, J; Coutinho, NWe present a case of a 5th Lumbar Vertebra (L5) spinous process osteochondroma as a rare cause of lumbar pain in an old patient. A 70-year-old male presented with progressive and disabling lower lumbar pain. Tenderness over the central and left paraspinal area of the lower lumbar region and a palpable mass were evident. CT scan showed a mass arising from the spinous process of L5. Marginal resection of the tumor was performed through a posterior approach. The histological study revealed an osteochondroma. After surgery, pain was completely relieved. After one year there was no evidence of local recurrence or symptoms. Osteochondromas rarely involve the spine, but when they do symptoms like pain, radiculopathy/myelopathy, or cosmetic deformity may occur. The imagiologic exam of election for diagnosis is CT scan. When symptomatic the treatment of choice is surgical resection. The most concerning complication of osteochondromas is malignant transformation, a rare event.
- Volumoso quisto acromioclavicular como apresentação invulgar de rotura massiva da coifa dos rotadoresPublication . Karmali, S; Barbosa, N; Teixeira-Ramos, J; Almeida, J; Cardoso, J; Barros, A; Rosa, B; Lopes, A; Sá da Costa, D; Silva-Gomes, D; Quinaz-Neto, PObjetivo: Os quistos sinoviais da articulação acromioclavicular (AC), podem ocorrer associadas à artrose AC ou como consequência da rotura massiva da coifa dos rotadores. Com o presente caso, os autores pretendem apresentar e discutir uma situação pouco frequente. Relato de caso: Homem de 81 anos, referenciado à consulta de Ortopedia por tumefação da região superior do ombro direito, indolor e de aumento progressivo nos últimos 2 anos. Avaliação clínica e radiológica compatível com volumoso quisto sinovial da acromioclavicular, associado a rotura massiva da coifa dos rotadores; submetido a tratamento cirúrgico com excisão marginal da lesão; a análise anatomopatológica confirmou o diagnóstico de quisto sinovial. Comentários: Os quistos sinoviais da articulação AC são entidades raras e pouco abordadas na literatura. A sua etiologia permanece por esclarecer ainda que um dos tipos descritos pareça estar associada à omatrose com rotura massiva da coifa dos rotadores (artropatia da coifa); nestes, a rotura da coifa permite a passagem de grandes quantidades de líquido sinovial para o espaço subacromial com formação de um volumoso quisto. Atendendo à sua raridade, o tratamento permanece controverso. O caso vem alertar para a ocorrência dos quistos da articulação AC, como apresentação invulgar de artropatia das coifa dos rotadores, discutindo a sua etiologia e abordagem terapêutica adequada.
