The article presents a case study of a 14-year-old boy who felt severe pain and noticed deformity in both knees after landing from a jump over a fence. Physical examination showed flexion deformity of the knees and inability to lift the knees, and he was diagnosed with type 1A osteogenesis imperfecta. The article discusses simultaneous bilateral Salter-Harris type II injuries followed by unilateral Salter-Harris type III injury of the proximal tibia in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta.

The boutonniere deformity is a well-known deformity in the fingers, however, its appearance on a lessor toe is extremely rare. In the present case, the deformity resulted from a rupture of the central slip of the extensor tendon and the shift of the lateral bands to the planter side after reduction of a traumatic planter dislocation of the PIP joint of the second toe. Surgical repair of the extensor mechanism brought good results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We describe a case of popliteofibular ligament (PFL) injury, successfully treated with a new anatomic reconstruction technique looping the biceps femoris tendon (BT). The anterior half of the BT was split longitudinally from the fibular insertion, cut at the proximal end and left attached at the insertion. The proximal end of the BT was looped back in a slit made in the popliteal tendon (PT) at the original anatomical insertion site of the PFL, and passed through the tunnel from the posterior and the baseball suture was tightened on the anterior cortex of fibular head.
