Famous case
According to South Koreas National Intelligence Service, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had surgery to correct TTS in his right ankle, the source of a pronounced limp. Kims disappearance from public for six weeks around the suspected surgery created worldwide speculation about the future of Kim and North Korea. Society
As stated earlier, musculoskeletal disorders can cost up to $15–$20 billion in direct costs or $45–$55 billion in indirect expenses. This is about $135 million a day. Tests that confirm or correct TTS require expensive treatment options like X-rays, CT-scans, MRI and surgery. The three former options for TTS detect and locate, while the latter is a form of treatment to decompress tibial nerve pressure. Since surgery is the most common form of TTS treatment, high financial burden is placed upon those diagnosed with the rare syndrome. See also

Second-line treatment is the same as for nonseminomas.Stage 3 seminoma is characterized by the presence of metastasis outside the retroperitoneum—the lungs in "good risk" cases or elsewhere in "intermediate risk" cases. This is treated with combination chemotherapy. Second-line treatment follows nonseminoma protocols. References
