Osteochondromas are benign chondrogenic lesions derived from aberrant cartilage from the perichondral ring that may take the form of solitary osteochondroma, or Multiple Hereditary Exostosis. Patients typically present between the ages of 10 and 30 with a painless mass. Diagnosis is made with radiographs showing sessile or pedunculated lesions found on the surface of bones. Treatment is observation for asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases. Surgical resection is indicated in cases of progressive and severe pain.

Thoracic outlet syndrome is a neurovascular disorder resulting from compression of the brachial plexus and/or subclavian vessels in the interval between the neck and axilla. There are two types, neurogenic (95% of cases) and vascular (<1%). Most cases are thought to stem from anatomic predisposition with superimposed neck trauma (acute or chronic repetitive stress). Diagnosis can be suspected clinically with specific provocative tests and supplemented with radiographs or vascular studies. showing anatomic causes of compression. Treatment may be nonoperative or include surgical decompression or a vascular procedure depending on the specific etiology.

Osteoblastomas are benign, aggressive osteogenic bone lesions commonly found in the posterior elements of the spine. Patients typically present between ages 10 and 30 with regional pain with only partial response from NSAIDs. Diagnosis is made radiographically by a characteristic lesion that is > 2 cm in diameter with a sclerotic margin and radiolucent nidus. Treatment is usually curettage or marginal excision with bone grafting. Learn more high-yield concepts about Osteoblastomas on our DAILY Orthobullets podcast.

Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans are rare, low-grade fibrogenic cutaneous sarcomas that occur in early to mid-adult life. Diagnosis is made with a biopsy showing uniform fibroblasts arranged in a storiform pattern around an inconspicuous vasculature. Treatment is usually wide surgical resection with radiation therapy.

An epidural steroid injection (ESI) is a minimally invasive technique used to treat back pain. Providers from various specialties and settings can learn and offer this procedure. In this episode of the Back Table MSK Podcast, hosts Jacob Fleming and Chris Beck share their experiences and techniques for performing ESIs.

Meniscal tears are common sports-related injuries in young athletes and can also present as a degenerative condition in older patients. Diagnosis can be suspected clinically with joint line tenderness and a positive McMurray's test, and can be confirmed with MRI studies. Treatment can be nonoperative versus operative (partial meniscectomy versus repair) depending on the morphology of the meniscus tear, root involvement, patient symptoms, and patient activity demands.

Angiosarcomas are malignant, aggressive tumors that derive from the endothelium of blood vessels. The condition is typically seen in elderly patients who present with regional pain and overlying skin changes. Diagnosis is made with a biopsy showing malignant cells associated with vascular structures. Treatment is usually wide surgical resection with radiation.

Endocrine Feedback Loop Podcast | Bisphosphonates and Atypical Femoral Fractures Listen to Ghada El-Hajj Fuleihan, MD and Amal Shibli-Rahhal, MD, discuss a recent JCEM article (https://bit.ly/3VVAgrJ) bisphosphonate use and risk of atypical femoral fractures (https://bit.ly/3RH01JV) with our host, Chase Hendrickson, MD, during ENDO 2024. "Patient education, insight, and understanding into absolute risk increases versus relative risk [are] crucial," for bisphosphonates use and risk of atypical femoral fractures. — Ghada El-Hajj Fuleihan, MD Endocrine.org/EFL   #JCEM #Fractures #ENDO2024 #endocrinology #bisphosphonate

NEW EPISODE FROM THE FLIGHTBRIDGEED PODCAST In this episode of the FlightBridgeED MDCast, Dr. Mike Lauria and Dr. Brittany Bernardoni discuss the management of refractory hypotension in septic patients. They explore the use of norepinephrine as the initial pressor of choice and the benefits of vasopressin as a second-line agent. They also discuss the use of inotropes, such as epinephrine and dobutamine, and the importance of assessing cardiac function with ultrasound. The conversation provides practical guidance for managing hypotensive septic patients in various clinical settings. In this conversation, the hosts discuss the use of different therapies for refractory shock and sepsis. They cover topics such as pressors, fluid resuscitation, steroids, bicarbonate, calcium, and all levels of therapies. Mike and Brittany provide insight into the evidence-based use of these therapies and offer practical tips for their administration in the hospital and in the critical care transport medicine field. Overall, the conversation provides a comprehensive overview of refractory shock and sepsis management. Listen anywhere you get your podcasts, or listen on our website at https://lnkd.in/gCBRRvDi

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip is a disorder of abnormal development resulting in dysplasia, subluxation, and possible dislocation of the hip secondary to capsular laxity and mechanical instability. Diagnosis can be confirmed with ultrasonography in the first 4 months and then with radiographs after femoral head ossification occurs (~ 4-6 months). Treatment varies from Pavlik bracing to surgical reduction and osteotomies depending on the age of the patient, underlying etiology, and the severity of dysplasia.
