Charcot foot or neurogenic osteoarthropathy is a serious complication of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The association between false aneurysm and Charcot foot is yet uncommon and has not been reported through the literature. We describe a case of false aneurysm in a Charcot foot in a 55-year-old female patient.
High‐pressure injection injury to the hand is a rare but very serious clinical entity, considered by plastic and hand surgeons as a surgical emergency. Diagnosis of these injuries is frequently delayed due to the initial benign appearance of the wound and the lack of knowledge of the seriousness of this injury.
The expected number of hip fractures worldwide will rise from 1.7 million in 1990, to 6.3 million in 2050. In parallel, surgical complications are expected to increase. We describe a rare complication of intrapelvic migration of the lag screw from trochanteric nail in a 90-year-old woman.

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.
