Another Draw the Squad. This one took me five days. Depression always hits hardest on this week before my birthday, and Sunday is set to be one of the worst I’ve had

Anyway, what’s this? I drew more than just the BFF Trio for once?

✍ 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. Sohail Ahmad, Dr. Faisal Harun, Dr. Adnan Anwar, Dr. Mohd Owais Ansari, Dr. Syed Mohd Shoaib, Dr. Syed Fahad Shaan

🧠 Key Insight This case report describes a 32-year-old female presenting with pain and swelling over the dorsum of the foot, where imaging revealed a multiloculated cystic lesion in the talus suggestive of an aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC). Diagnosis was confirmed through biopsy and immunohistochemistry, differentiating it from other bone tumors. Instead of conventional surgery, the patient was treated with percutaneous polidocanol sclerotherapy, a minimally invasive technique that promotes lesion healing. The patient showed significant symptomatic relief within 1 month, and with repeated injections, achieved progressive sclerosis and near-complete resolution at 2-year follow-up. This case highlights that ABC can occur in rare sites like the talus and can be effectively managed with non-surgical treatment options, avoiding complications of open procedures

✍ Authored by Dr. Janki Patel, Dr. Hitesh Andhariya, Dr. Vishal Sheth, Dr. Devang Bhavasar, Dr. Ashwin Prajapati

🧠 Key Insight This case report presents a 63-year-old woman with a massive recurrent atypical lipomatous tumor of the thigh after three previous surgeries over 8 years. Imaging revealed a large tumor involving multiple thigh compartments and surrounding the femur and femoral vessels. Surgeons performed wide tumor excision with reconstruction of the femoral vessels using a PTFE graft, followed by prophylactic intramedullary nailing to prevent fracture after planned radiotherapy. Final histopathology revealed liposarcoma with areas of low-grade dedifferentiation (FNCLCC Grade 3). The patient received post-operative radiotherapy, and at 35-month follow-up she remained disease-free and able to perform daily activities independently, highlighting the importance of adequate surgical margins and multidisciplinary management in soft-tissue sarcomas.
