The authors present a brief and selective history of surgery for peripheral nerve tumors to illustrate how the current understanding of the nature of disease influences the choice of surgical intervention. There was very little understanding of the anatomy and function of peripheral nerves in ancient times; consequently, surgical treatments...

Abstract: Femoral intraosseous neurilemoma
Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery Volume 110, Number 4 / July, 1991

Type 1 neurofibromatosis is one of the most common autosomal-dominant disorders and often includes orthopedic manifestations. We report the case of a 48-year-old woman with hemarthrosis caused by a popliteal cyst infiltrated by a diffuse neurofibroma associated with angiodysplasia. Surgical resection of this tumor was followed by postoperative hemorrhagic complications

Case Presentation at Dupont Institute 1996

Illustrated cases

Presentation 2004: Conclusions: Non-dystrophic curves maybe treated by posterior fusion alone achieving 60% Cobb correction and 55% AVT correction. Close observation should be maintained for the appearance of dystrophic features and deterioration of correction. Dystrophic curves should be treated early and aggressively by two/three stage apical vertebrectomy, grafting and posterior...
