Reninoma in an Adolescent Girl: Histopathological Insights with Review of Literature.

Reninoma is an uncommon mesenchymal tumor of the kidney. It is characterized by renin secretion and uncontrollable hypertension with associated hypokalemia. Here we report a case in a 15-year-old girl who presented with refractory hypertension, muscle weakness, and fatigue.

Anatomical variation of posterior slope of tibial plateau in adult Eastern Indian population.

Background: Upper surface of the proximal tibial end, tibial plateau, has a slope directed posteroinferiorly relative to the long axis of the middle of the shaft. It has important consideration in surgeries such as knee arthroplasty, high tibial osteotomy, and medical imaging of the knee joint. The aim of the present study was to estimate the tibial plateau angle (TPA) by plain radiograph in the adult Eastern Indian population as during literature review, we were unable to find any study, except one (without specific reference axis), on this variable among the Indian population.

Evaluation of proximal femoral geometry in plain anterior-posterior radiograph in eastern-Indian population.

Background: The morphologic features of the proximal femur are used in preoperative planning prior to total hip arthroplasty. The standard commercially available marketed prostheses sometimes may not be the best fit to all subjects because of the large anatomic variation among different population. Orthopaedic surgeons always stress the need for a proper implant-patient match in hip joint replacements to avoid post-operative complication of mismatch which may affect the ultimate outcome of the operation.
