There is limited literature reporting on sacral insufficiency fractures as a cause of lumbopelvic instability. learn more We describe the presentation, treatment, and clinical outcome with a 2-year follow-up of a woman who sustained a low-energy spinopelvic dissociation diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging. There was significant delayed displacement, and the patient was treated surgically with percutaneous iliosacral and trans-sacral screws. U-type sacral insufficiency fractures may be subtle on advanced imaging and must be followed closely if nonoperative treatment is chosen. These patients may require surgical intervention. Iliosacral screws and lumbopelvic fixation are treatment options, each with advantages and disadvantages.

Our patient is a 34-year-old male aHthlete who presented for consultation after left knee discomfort and pressure for greater than 2 years. Advanced imaging revealed a nonspecific intraarticular suprapatellar lesion with subsequent ultrasound-guided core biopsy demonstrating a spindle cell proliferation consistent with superficial fibromatosis. Thus, the patient underwent an open en bloc surgical resection by a fellowship-trained orthopaedic oncologist. As the first reported case of intraarticular fibromatosis of the knee, this case highlights the importance of a thoughtful approach to the management of nonspecific intraarticular lesions through a comprehensive and collaborative strategy to decrease patient morbidity and optimize outcomes.

We present a case of a 41-year-old male bodybuilder with a partial delaminated quadriceps tendon rupture after a traumatic injury. Partial quadriceps tendon tears are rare overall and usually are treated nonoperatively with conservative management depending on the patient's limitations. He was found to have an intact superficial quadriceps tendon with a partial thickness tear of the vastus intermedius and delamination of the undersurface quadriceps tendon precluding active knee extension. To our knowledge, there has never been a reported partial quadriceps tendon tear with delamination of the undersurface, causing a complete extensor mechanism failure necessitating operative repair.

Previous studies have demonstrated that this period of regulation is associated with activation of synaptic N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors on dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) neurons, which increases vagal control of gastric functions. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that activation of DMV synaptic NMDA receptors occurs subsequent to activation of extrasynaptic NMDA receptors. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a control or high-fat diet for 3-5 days prior to experimentation. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings from gastric-projecting DMV neurons; in vivo recordings of gastric motility, tone, compliance, and emptying; and food intake studies were used to assess the effects of NMDA receptor antagonism on caloric regulation. After aHFD exposure, inhibition of extrasynaptic NMDA receptors prevented the synaptic NMDA receptor-mediated i
