A female patient with de Quervain’s tenosynovitis presented with pain and swelling over the radial styloid, corresponding to the first dorsal extensor compartment containing the abductor pollicis longus (APL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) tendons.
Segmental loss of the distal femur requiring endoprosthetic reconstruction - oncologic resection, failed revision arthroplasty with massive bone loss, or comminuted periprosthetic distal femoral fracture not amenable to fixation.
Background: Lumbar pedicle screw fixation is the gold-standard surgical technique for posterior three-column spinal stabilization. It is indicated for mechanical instability and structural deformity resulting from degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, spinal trauma, infections, and neoplasms. Technique: The procedure involves traversing the pedicular corridor to anchor screws into the anterior vertebral body, achieving rigid three-dimensional purchase. Bilateral screw heads are interconnected with contoured rods to restore lordosis, resist translational forces, and facilitate solid bony arthrodesis—often augmented by interbody cages (e.g., PLIF, TLIF). Fluoroscopic guidance, computer-assisted navigation, and robotic systems are standardly deployed to maximize trajectory precision.
