ABSTRACT
This is a rare case report in an elective orthopaedic setting, in which a 72-year-old man without known urologic disorders presented with a 6.2 l post-void residual urine (PVR) before a planned knee arthroplasty surgery. The PVR was found because of a newly established local guideline in an orthopaedic department regarding examination and treatment for PVR. The guideline was made in collaboration with urologists to improve the quality of treatment. Early diagnosis and treatment may prevent chronic bladder injury, urinary tract infections, urosepsis and kidney damage.

In this case report, a six-year-old boy presented with an extension defect of the elbow. There was no known trauma or sports in the patient's prior history. He was diagnosed with Panner's disease. This disease usually occurs in relation to trauma or repetitive microtrauma as seen in sports. Panner's disease resembles osteochondritis dissecans, and correct differentiation between the two have therapeutical and prognostic values. Conservative regiment and follow-ups are recommended.
