Nonossifying fibroma is a benign, lytic lesion that occurs in young children and adolescents. Radiographically, the lesion is multilocular and sharply demarcated. It often occurs at the metaphyseal region of long bones of the lower extremity and is usually eccentrically located. Four cases of nonossifying fibroma occurring during the past 7 years are presented with a review of the literature.
A rare case of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus coexisting with morphea in the foot was presented. Orthotic therapy was required to alleviate an antalgic gait.
Equinus deformities are common in neuromuscular and trauma patients. In contrast, calcaneal gait disorders tend to be overlooked, and few reports characterize and review calcaneal gait problems and disabilities. In the past 3 years, the authors treated 17 patients with calcaneal gait. Six of these cases are reviewed; in addition, the general clinical characteristics of the patient with calcaneal gait pattern are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
