Case ReportsGreater arc injury of the wrist with fractured lunate bone: a case report.
Carpal dislocation and fracture dislocation are uncommon and difficult to treat. Early diagnosis and treatment of such injuries are necessary to prevent progressive carpal instability and traumatic arthritis. ⋯ We present a case of greater arc injury of the right wrist with fractures of the lunate and ulnar styloid without perilunate dislocation. This pattern of injury cannot be classified in the available literature on greater arc injury.

To evaluate treatment outcomes in primary malignant periacetabular bone tumour removal and limb salvage with or without bone-graft reconstruction. ⋯ Malignant periacetabular tumours are difficult to manage. Functional results of our patients with no reconstruction or with bone-graft bridging were fair. Patients undergoing internal hemipelvectomy may experience leg-length discrepancies, which can be balanced with shoe lifts.

To review the long-term results of 14 cases of histopathologically confirmed schwannoma of the hand and wrist treated with intracapsular tumour removal. ⋯ Meticulous dissection with magnification can achieve complete tumour removal without neurological loss or recurrence. Intracapsular tumour removal provides good results with a low complication rate.
