In an effort to understand the chondrolabral junction tears, we can conclude that collagen content and fiber orientation may represent the histological basis for the predominance of tears at the anterosuperior region.

We present two cases of tuberculosis osteomyelitis mimicking subacute osteomyelitis and treated without extensive debridement. Tuberculous osteomyelitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of proximal tibial infections in children and early diagnosis and treatment is possible without extensive debridement.

Trigger toe is a rare entity, with only a few cases reported in the literature. It is usually seen in ballet dancers as a result of compression of the flexor hallucis longus tendon in the tarsal tunnel beneath the medial malleolus. We report a case of trigger toe due to a constricting lesion on the extensor hallucis longus tendon.

IntroductionCongenital peripheral constriction ring originating from soft tissues of the leg that is characterized with compression in the soft tissue usually involving the deep fascia surrounding the leg at the time of birth is occasionally observed in lower extremity. At the region of the constriction, fractures of tibia and fibula and foot deformities like clubfoot can be observed.Case presentationIn our report, 6-month and 8-month old infants with congenital constriction band and ipsilateral clubfoot were presented. They were treated with multiple Z plasties for their constricting bands and Ponseti method of serial casting for their clubfoot deformities.ConclusionCongenital-constricting bands can be effectively released with multiple Z plasties. Ponseti method of correcting club foots of various causes can be applied to club foot deformities accompanying constricting bands.
