Wandering missiles: autopsy study.

Five cases of firearm missile emboli are reported. Three were not unusual arterial bullet emboli. One, however, was a single shotgun pellet embolus which produced death from cerebral infarction. The fifth case appears to be the first known to embolize within the portal system and was associated with a 'wandering bullet' within the pericardial space.

An alternative fixation technique when performing hallux interphalangeal joint fusions.

Fusion of the hallux interphalangeal joint has classically been performed by means of cancellous bone screws or crossed Kirschner wires. Although these techniques may be suitable for uncomplicated fusions, they may not be amenable to those cases requiring simultaneous total first metatarsophalangeal joint implant arthroplasty; therefore, a new technique is discussed that utilizes the Micks' external fixator.

Plantar inclusion cyst: a review of the literature.

Cystic lesions on the plantar surface of the foot are rare and usually a consequence of trauma. Patients generally present complaining of a firm ovoid or nodular mass under a weightbearing area that exhibits dull to exquisite tenderness upon direct pressure. A careful history often reveals past injury of varying severity with subsequent evolution of a gradually enlarging mass closely adjoining the area of insult. A frequently overlooked finding of interest is a mixed histologic picture with features common to both foreign body reactions as well as inclusion cysts.
