Bongers, MD, John H. Shin, MD, Sunita D. Srivastava, MD, Christopher R. Morse, MD, Sang-Gil Lee, MD, and Joseph H. Schwab, MD, MS Investigation performed at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts Abstract Case: We present a 65-year-old man with an L4 conventional chordoma. Total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) of the involved vertebral bodies and surrounding soft tissues with reconstruction of the spine using a free vascularized fibula autograft (FVFG) is a proven technique, limiting complications and recurrence. However, graft fracture has occurred only in the lumbar spine in our institutional cases. We used a technique in our patient to ensure extra stability and support, with the addition of a femoral allograft sleeve encasing the FVFG. Conclusions: Our technique for the reconstruction of the lumbar spine after TES of primary malignant spinal disease using a femoral allograft sleeve encasing the FVFG is viable to consider. he treatment of primary malignant neoplasms of the spine mended a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but the request currently mainly relies on surgery, often in conjunction with was denied by the insurance company, and the patient T 1-3 radiotherapy .Totalen bloc spondylectomy (TES) is a widely underwent a course of physical therapy with no benefitand accepted surgical technique and has lower reported recurrence rates progression of back pain and radiculopathy.

Common Stress Fractures BRENT W
COVER ARTICLE PRACTICAL THERAPEUTICS Common Stress Fractures BRENT W. SANDERLIN, LCDR, MC, USNR, Naval Branch Medical Clinic, Fort Worth, Texas ROBERT F. RASPA, CAPT, MC, USN, Naval Hospital Jacksonville, Jacksonville, Florida Lower extremity stress fractures are common injuries most often associated with partic- ipation in sports involving running, jumping, or repetitive stress. The initial diagnosis can be made by identifying localized bone pain that increases with weight bearing or repet- itive use. Plain film radiographs are frequently unrevealing. Confirmation of a stress frac- ture is best made using triple phase nuclear medicine bone scan or magnetic resonance imaging. Prevention of stress fractures is most effectively accomplished by increasing the level of exercise slowly, adequately warming up and stretching before exercise, and using cushioned insoles and appropriate footwear. Treatment involves rest of the injured bone, followed by a gradual return to the sport once free of pain. Recent evidence sup- ports the use of air splinting to reduce pain and decrease the time until return to full par- ticipation or intensity of exercise. (Am Fam Physician 2003;68:1527-32.

Methods This study examined 100 legs from 54 Japanese cadavers. The LTCL was classified into three types: Type I, the LTCL branches from the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL); Type II, the LTCL is independent of the CFL and runs parallel to the calcaneus; and Type III, the LTCL is absent. The morphological features measured were fiber bundle length, fiber bundle width, and fiber bundle thickness. Results The LTCL was classified as Type I in 18 feet (18%), Type II in 24 feet (24%), and Type III in 58 feet (58%). All LTCLs were associated with the anterior talofibular ligament at the talus. There was no significant difference in morphologi- cal characteristics by Type for each ligament. Conclusions The LTCL was similar to the CFL in terms of fiber bundle width and fiber bundle thickness.

Mcilroy's Ankle Injury Explained
McIlroy’s Ankle Injury Explained By Eva Nugent MISCP The Anterior Talofibular Ligament is big news this week because of world number 1 golf player Rory McIlroy’s injury sustained while having a football “kick about” with friends. McIlroy reports sustaining a “total rupture of his left ATFL and damage to the associated ankle joint capsule”. This unfortunate injury has put his golf season in doubt with the Open Championship starting just next week the 16th of July. But what exactly is the ATFL? And what does the rehabilitation for this injury involve? The Anterior Talofibular Ligament is one of three ligaments that make of the lateral ligament complex of the ankle joint. It originates at the fibular malleoulus of the lateral shin bone (fibula) and runs forward to and attaches to the Talus (ankle bone). The other two ligaments are the Posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL) and the Calcaneofibular ligament (CFL). The function of these ligaments is to provide stability and support to the ankle joint. The ATFL specifically prevents the anterior translation of the shin in relation to the foot/ankle. The ATFL is the most commonly injured ankle ligament and is most vulnerable when the foot is pointing downwards and inwards as the body’s centre of gravity rolls over the ankle (plantarflexed and inverted position). This is commonly described as “going over on your ankle”. It is commonly injured in sports like football or GAA where unpredictable fast turns or cutting movements are involved. This is referred to as an ankle sprain and results in damage to the fibres of the ligament as they are overstretched.
