“…The hip salvage concept in nonunion or neglected cases of fracture neck femur is of two types: (1) Techniques to improve the mechanical environment around the fracture site and (2) techniques to improve the biological environment at the nonunion site by bone grafting. 3 4 33 34 The exact indication of fibular graft in the nonunion or neglected condition has not been elucidated. From the review, we conclude that NVFG is a suitable option for displaced/nondisplaced femoral neck fracture nonunion with a proximal fragment of size larger than 2.5 cm with or without femoral neck resorption and osteonecrosis.…”

Nonunion of femoral neck fractures following primary fixation and neglected femoral neck fracture in young adults is a challenging task. Every effort should be directed toward hip joint salvage in these patients. Among different available options of hip salvage, nonvascularized fibular graft (NVFG) osteosynthesis is simple, easy to perform, and a successful technique. In this review, the available literature on NVFG in neglected and nonunion femoral neck fractures has been analyzed. After review of 15 articles on NVFG, the average nonunion rate was estimated to be 7.86% (range 0–31%). Six articles that evaluated the preoperative and postoperative osteonecrosis reported improvement in 50% patients. The clinical and/or functional outcome was good to excellent in 56–96% patients following fibular osteosynthesis. Few complications such as coxa vara deformity, limb shortening, and intraarticular penetration of the graft or hardware have been reported. However, there are minimal donor site morbidities such as mild ankle pain, transient loss of toe flexors and extensors and transient lateral popliteal nerve palsy.

“…Though cysticercosis is a known health problem in developing countries, it has no longer remained a rarity in developed countries, owing to immigrants 2 3 8. The larva cysticercosis cellulosae developed from eggs hatched in the intestine is known to lodge commonly in the nervous system; however, involvement of subcutaneous tissues muscles, eyes is also known, but solitary intramuscular cysticercosis is extremely rare and only sporadic cases have been reported in the past 1 2 8…”

Cysticercosis is a disease caused by tapewormTaenia solium. It is commonly found in developing countries, but reports of its frequent occurrences even in developed countries due to immigrants from infected areas are widely reported. When cysticercosis affects the brain, the condition is commonly called neurocysticercosis however, sporadic cases of solitary intramuscular cysticercosis have been reported in the literature. We present a case of solitary cysticercosis in the right deltoid muscle in a 25-year-old woman who presented with a painful swelling on the right shoulder. The diagnosis was established by MRI and targetedultrasonography. Surgical removal of a cyst followed by 2 weeks of albendazole treatment resolved the symptoms.
