2024 Clinician Corner - A premenopausal woman with fragmentation of a nonexpired copper intrauterine device and concomitant presence of Actinomyces species
Abstract Actinomyces spp. has been shown to form biofilms when exposed to copper, possibly enhancing its degradation. Fragmentation and migration of the copper coil on an intrauterine device (IUD) is rare, but the concomitant presence of Actinomyces spp. may increase its incidence.

2025 Clinician Corner - Unusual radiographic progression of tumoral calcinosis along the anterior cruciate ligament in an adolescent male
A 13-year-old boy was referred to orthopedic surgery for chronic intermittent pain and swelling of the left knee. Initial imaging was consistent with osteochondritis dissecans of the femoral condyle. Follow-up imaging demonstrated unexpected progression, with a mass extending into the notch, replacing the anterior cruciate ligament, and eroding the femoral and tibial condyles. Subsequent surgical biopsy and resection revealed tumoral calcinosis, with an ultimate diagnosis of autosomal recessive familial tumoral calcinosis. This case report highlights the radiographic appearance and progression of a rare disease in this unusual location and the differential diagnosis.
