Insights

A rare infantile myofibroma in the femoral neck was successfully treated with surgical stabilization. This case highlights the effectiveness of operative intervention for this pediatric bone tumor, ensuring normal development.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Skeletal Dysplasias

Background:

  • Infantile myofibromas are rare benign tumors that can occur in bone.
  • A solitary infantile myofibroma in the femoral neck is an exceptionally rare presentation.
  • Developmental dysplasia of the hip and breech presentation are common pediatric orthopedic conditions.

Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers01:48

Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers

Skeletal muscles continuously produce ATP to provide the energy that enables muscle contractions. Skeletal muscle fibers can be categorized into three types based on differences in their contraction speed and how they produce ATP, as well as physical differences related to these factors. Most human muscles contain all three muscle fiber types, albeit in varying proportions.

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella01:16

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the neck...
