1.Limb Salvage Surgery for Musculoskeletal Oncology
Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences 2015;22(4):1-5
The management of musculoskeletal tumours has progressed tremendously over the past few decades. Limb salvage surgery has become a standard practise without compromising the oncological outcome. Patients generally will benefit with superior function and a better quality of life compared with definitive amputation. The multidisciplinary approach and advancement of surgeries are important to achieve patient survival and optimum function.

Sacroilliac joint diasthesis from high energy trauma is always complicated with chronic pain and long term morbidity. Open anterior stabilisation with plate allow direct reduction and stabilisation with biomechanically advantages. Here we report on four cases of pelvic injury with sacroiliac joint disruption treated with anterior plate stabilisation through a surgical approach similar to that used for anterior ring fractures.

We report a case of open fracture of the clavicle with subclavian artery and vein laceration and
perforation of the parietal pleural below the first rib that caused massive haemothorax. Emergency
thoracotomy and exploration followed by repair of both vessels were able to salvage the patient and
the extremity.

When the first report of COVID-19 appeared in December 2019 from Wuhan, China, the
world unknowingly perceived this as another flu-like illness. Many were surprised at the extreme
steps that China had subsequently taken to seal Wuhan from the rest of the world. However, by
February 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, had spread so quickly across the
globe that the World Health Organization officially declared COVID-19 a pandemic. COVID-19 is
not the first pandemic the world has seen, so what makes it so unique in Malaysia, is discussed to
avoid a future coronacoma.

We report our experience of treating two patients with ankle amputation with different presentations. The first case was a clean-cut sharp amputation. The second case was an avulsion injury following a motor vehicle accident in a patient who arrived 8 hours after the injury. Replantation was successful in both cases. In avulsion injuries, a secondary operation for wound coverage is required at a later stage. With good strategy and a support team, encouraging limb survival outcomes are possible post-replantation.

Introduction: Lower extremity vascular injury can result in
either temporary or permanent disability.
Methods: This is a clinical audit involving all patients
admitted to our institution from January 2008 to June 2018
of those who had undergone revascularization surgery for
lower limb trauma.
Results: Fifty-nine patients were in this study with a mean
age of 28.1 years. Most of the patients were motorcyclist
involved in road traffic accidents with cars (n=30, 50.8%).
The popliteal artery was most commonly seen injury (n=41,
69.5%). The mean duration of ischaemia was 14.1 hours. The
limb salvage rate was 89.8%.
Conclusion: Lower extremity vascular injury caused by RTA
treated in our institution predominantly involved young
patients aged between 18–30 years associated with long
bone fractures causing contusion and thrombosis of the
popliteal artery.

We reported a case of recurrent subcutaneous swelling on the left foot of a diabetic patient. Two different organisms,
Cladosporium spp. and Phaeoacremonium krajdenii were isolated, both of which are associated with phaeohyphomycosis and eumycetoma. The cure was achieved through surgical excision of the lesion and a course of antifungal
therapy. The diagnosis was uncertain since clinical manifestations and laboratory results were insufficient to distinguish the two diseases.
