Nervous lipofibromatous hamartoma is a rare tumor-like condition involving the peripheral nerves, whereby the epineurium and perineurium are enlarged and distorted by excess of fatty and fibrous tissues that infiltrate between and around nerve boundaries. The median nerve is much more likely to develop a hamartoma than other nerves with a predilection for the carpal tunnel. We present a case of carpal tunnel syndrome in an adult caused by fibrolipomatous hamartoma of the median nerve, successfully removed by excision of the fibrolipomatous tissue and decompression.

The fabella is a sesamoid bone that may contribute to the stabilization of the posterolateral knee corner and it can very occasionally act as a source of atypical and rare knee pain and functional impairment. Fracture of the fabella is a rare but important clinical entity which may be overlooked clinically and radiographically. However, it causes an intermittent mechanical pain of the knee and it can mistakenly harm another knee pathology like intra-articular loose body. We report a case of a 21-year-old man who was sustaining a fracture of fabella following vehicle accident.

Les kystes mucoïdes du ligament croisé antérieur (LCA) sont rares. Ils sont souvent asymptomatiques et méconnus. Leur expression clinique est polymorphe et c'est l'imagerie par résonnance magnétique qui permet de poser le diagnostic qui est confirmé par l'histologie. La résection arthroscopique constitue le traitement de référence. On rapporte un cas de kyste mucoïde du LCA traité par résection arthroscopique.

Surgical treatment of unstable pelvic fractures Type C, has a vertical instability that is not controlled by traction and supine; therefore, orthopedic and functional treatments undertaken by default are sources of complications. The closed reduction with percutaneous sacroiliac fixation solves the problem of vertical instability; but at the cost of learning the method. Five patients with unstable pelvic fractures; were treated by percutaneous sacroiliac fixation. This reliable and useful method in the stabilization of unstable pelvic fractures. Good functional results are predictable based on the severity of pelvic fractures and associated injuries. The low rates of complications and the minimally invasive nature are the advantages of this method.
