- A Giant Hand Lipoma As a Rare Cause of Secondary Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - a Case ReportPublication . Barreira, M; Marques, N; Campos, V; Marques, G; Gonçalves, S; Stefanova Alves, SIntroduction: Lipomas are a rare cause of compressive neuropathy and they lead to atypical clinical presentation that can mimic carpal tunnel syndrome. Case presentation: The authors describe a rare presentation of a carpal tunnel syndrome recurrence after a hand giant lipoma, presenting with rapidly compression neuropathy of the median nerve, 6 months after de primary surgery. Discussion: Lipomas are common benign soft tumours. Their occurrence in the hand remains rare and they rarely cause secondary entrapment neuropathies. Carpal tunnel syndrome is mostly idiopathic and bilateral. Local factors should be suspected when these neuropathies present with atypical symptomatology or even when they recur after primary conventional surgical release. Investigation should consider images studies as this correct preoperative assessment leads to successful diagnosis and treatment.
- Is It Safe to Perform an Early Arthroscopy After a Traumatic Hip Dislocation With an Associated Pelvic Ring Injury? Report of Our TechniquePublication . Geada, N; Dantas, P; Mascarenhas, V; Campos, V; Gonçalves, SHip arthroscopy is useful in the treatment of several intra-articular pathologies, however, its use in high-energy hip and pelvis injuries raises concerns about fluid extravasion and stability of the pelvic ring. We present our arthroscopic surgical technique (initial access to the peripheral compartment) to remove intra-articular loose bodies and treat associated lesions, as well as our concerns with the technique, in case of a traumatic hip dislocation associated with a contralateral pelvic ring injury.
