“Goalkeeper’s hip”: acute haematogenous osteomyelitis secondary to apophyseal fractures
We report two cases of acute haematogenous osteomyelitis in the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) in adolescent goalkeepers following trauma of the iliac crest apophysis. Both patients complained of pain over their right ASIS and were pyrexial. They were given antibiotics and were discharged from follow up without complication 64 and 90 days after starting treatment.

What's new in spinal surgery?
The aim of this review is to bring the reader up to date with the current state of spinal surgery. In a similar fashion to the rest of orthopaedics, spinal surgery is undergoing a revolution. In recent years, advances in instrumentation of the spine and a better understanding of the biological aspects of bone healing and the pathogenesis of spinal disorders have made new techniques possible.

Microwave Sterilization of Femoral Head Allograft
The potential shortage of allograft bone has led to the need to investigate other sources of bone for allografts. Some allograft bone donated from primary total hip arthroplasty recipients must be discarded or treated to become useable as a result of bacterial contamination. Femoral head allografts were contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis . A domestic microwave oven was used. The contaminated bone was exposed to microwave irradiation for different time periods. The samples were then cultured to attempt to grow the two bacterial species. The contaminated bone samples failed to grow any organisms after 2 min of exposure to microwave irradiation. This study shows that sterilization of femoral head allografts contaminated with S. aureus and B. subtilis can be achieved with microwave irradiation in a domestic microwave oven. This method of sterilization of bone allografts is cheap, easily used, and an effective way to process contaminated bone.
