Treatment of Sports-Related Injured Knee with Incidental Extra-articular Giant Cell Tumor of the Pes Anserinus Tendon Sheath

Sungwook Choi, Younghee Maeng, Kyungryeol Lee and Donghee Kim

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: February 13, 2017

We report a case of a 21-year-old male with knee injury with a giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath resulting in a pes anserinus. As seen in this case, in a sports-related knee injury with an associated giant cell tumor, an initial treatment of the mass was performed first. After the confirmation of non-recurrence after 1 year follow up, the treatment of the sports related injury was followed. In any type of knee injury associated with giant cell tumor, initial treatment of the mass followed by...

Appropriateness and Suggested Use of MRI in Management of Shoulder Pain

Alan W Reynolds, AB and April D Armstrong, MD, FRCSC

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: January 24, 2017

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) accounts for a significant proportion of the cost to manage patients with shoulder pain. Improved decision making for MRI use could result in a meaningful reduction in the total number of studies ordered and thereby costs of treating shoulder pain. This study aimed to document MRI ordering patterns for patients with shoulder pain and to propose a protocol to guide efficient management of these patients....
