RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Pseudotumoral pigmented villonodular synovitis is rare and diagnosis is difficult. AIM: Report of new case. CASE: We report an original observation of a pseudotumoral pigmented villonodular synovitis occurred in a 28 years old patient with no recurrence after surgical treatment. A review of the literature was made in order to precise the epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics.

In this study, we report a rare fracture of the proximal radial metaphysis in an 11-year-old child, involving an anterior displacement of the proximal radial metaphysis instead of a displacement of the epiphysis, which preserved its normal connections with the capitellum. This fracture was successfully treated by closed reduction and wire fixation. The reduction maneuver attempted to reduce the proximal radial metaphysis under the epiphysis instead of doing the opposite. The mechanism of this injury is probably an extension strain on a forearm in pronation associated with a violent contraction of the biceps brachialis muscle. This fracture is considered as a rare example of Wilkins group II angular fracture of the proximal radial metaphysis, without proximal ulnar fracture.
