Capitate Stress Injuries Of Both Wrists In An Adolescent Female Gymnast: A Case Report, Brynne R.W Latterell, Deana M. Mercer, Shane P. Cass, Christopher A. Mcgrew
UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal
Gymnastic activities expose the wrist to a wide variety of overuse and acute stresses. Injuries to the distal radius are the most commonly reported gymnastic wrist condition; however, many other structures are at risk of injury from the sport’s high acute and overuse demands, including the carpal bones, most commonly the scaphoid. We describe a 17-year-old female, high-level gymnast in whom stress injuries to both capitate bones were ultimately diagnosed after initial symptoms of pain. This case demonstrated the need for prompt recognition, without which much chronic and debilitating injury would develop. For successful diagnosis, healthcare providers should carefully examine …

Carpal Tunnel Release During Pregnancy: Report Of Two Cases, Erica J. Gauger, Deana M. Mercer, Moheb S. Moneim
UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal
Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome are common occurrences during pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester. Most patients undergo successful nonoperative treatment shortly after birth or the cessation of breast feeding. However, symptoms noted earlier during pregnancy are more likely to be severe and persistent. We present the cases of two women who developed symptoms of severe carpal tunnel syndrome during the second trimester and did not improve with nonoperative measures. Both underwent carpal tunnel release during pregnancy, with excellent postoperative result. Obstetric providers and surgeons alike should consider surgical treatment for patients with carpal tunnel syndrome who do not improve …

Foot injuries occur frequently in distance runners and can notably impact training performance. Common diagnoses include plantar fasciitis, tendinopathies of the forefoot or midfoot, and stress fractures of the metatarsals. Occasionally, more obscure structures may be involved. We describe a 37-year-old male distance runner who presented with symptoms of heel pain and ecchymosis, suggesting an acute plantar fascia injury. However, findings of magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tear to the quadratus plantae (QP). The patient gradually returned to normal levels of physical activity, with complete resolution of symptoms by 4 months after the initial injury. Healthcare providers should be aware …

Rare Tumors Adjacent To The Achilles Tendon: Report Of Two Cases, Jay J. Wojcik, Aditi S. Majumdar, Kathleen M. Madden, Richard A. Miller
UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal
Benign masses are not uncommon near the Achilles tendon of the ankle. However, the occurrence of angiomyomas or glomus tumors in the region has rarely been reported. We describe two patients, a 44-year-old woman and 44-yearold man, who presented with a tender mass posterior to the Achilles tendon. Excision led to successful removal of the lesion in both cases. Results of histological examinations revealed an angiomyoma and glomus tumor in the woman and man, respectively. Although rare, the presence of these tumors should be considered in the differential diagnosis of masses near the Achilles tendon.

A New Diagnosis Of Multiple Sclerosis In A 29-Year-Old Former Collegiate Basketball Player With Initial Symptoms Of Recurrent Bell’S Palsy: A Case Report, Eric R. Reynolds, Andrew D. Ashbaugh, Christopher A. Mcgrew
UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system, characterized by immunemediated destruction of myelinated axons, which leads to notable physical disability. Although presence among active athletes is extremely low, it can cause considerable lifestyle changes for those athletes affected as they transition into life after competitive athletics. We describe a 29-year-old former collegiate women’s basketball player in whom MS was diagnosed during a visit for recurrent evaluation of Bell palsy. Subsequent neurology consult and magnetic resonance imaging led to the confirmation of the diagnosis of MS, and the patient began treatment for relapsing-remitting MS. During visits …

Unsuccessful Metatarsophalangeal Joint Replacement For Treating Arthritis Of The Great Toe: Report Of Three Cases, Jory Wasserburger, Paul J. Johnson, Katherine J. Gavin, Richard A. Miller
UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal
Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint fusion or replacement are commonly performed for treating advanced arthritis of the MTP joint of the great toe. However, results of MTP joint arthroplasty have shown no clear advantages compared to those of fusion. We present a 72-year old woman (case 1), 66-year-old woman (case 2), and 64-yearold man (case 3) who underwent unsuccessful MTP joint replacement of the great toe and presented to our clinic with pain at 15, 1, and 20 years postoperatively, respectively. Operative resection has been scheduled for case 1, whereas symptoms were managed nonoperatively in case 2. In case 3, operative removal …
Posttraumatic Attenuation Of The Lisfranc Ligament In A 14-Year-Old Athlete: A Case Report,

Posttraumatic Attenuation Of The Lisfranc Ligament In A 14-Year-Old Athlete: A Case Report, Paul J. Johnson, David M. Bennett
UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal
Lisfranc injuries in children are rare and range from mild midfoot sprains to severe traumatic fracture-dislocations. Management of sprains is nonoperative, whereas treatment of fracture-dislocations often requires internal fixation. We present a unique case of a midfoot sprain in a 14-year-old adolescent boy, with gradual increased instability at the joint owing to attenuation of the Lisfranc ligament. Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning resulted in successful treatment at 3 weeks postoperatively. Midfoot sprains may lead to further ligamentous attenuation and widening as seen on radiographs and thus should be monitored for signs of persistent pain and instability. Because midfoot instability contributes …

Missed Early Glenohumeral Septic Arthritis During Emergency Department Visit Owing To Low Virulence Streptococcus Mitis: A Case Report, Ashley A. Crum, Christopher A. Mcgrew, Matthew A. Tennison
UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal
Glenohumeral joint septic arthritis in a native joint is uncommon but can be debilitating if not treated early. Septic arthritis does not always present with the typical clinical findings, especially in immunocompromised patients. We report a rare case of glenohumeral septic arthritis from Streptococcus mitis infection in a diabetic woman that was initially missed on first presentation in the emergency department (ED). The exact cause of infection in this case remains unclear but is likely due to poor dentition and possible transient bacteremia in the setting of large rotator cuff tear in an immunocompromised patient (diabetes). The patient had a …
