Pathodynamics.

Osteoporosis and osteoporosis-related fractures in the aging population are becoming a health care problem and a burden on health service resources available. Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder that results from an imbalance in bone remodeling, leading to a reduction in bone strength with microarchitectural disruption and skeletal fragility, increasing fracture susceptibility. Osteoporosis is considered a well-known metabolic bone disorder. Although its prevalence is more commonly seen in women than men, it is eventually seen in both genders. In the elderly population, there is an increase in disability and mortality due to osteoporotic fractures.

Ipsilateral Intertrochanteric Fracture with Posterior Dislocation of Hip.

Introduction: High-energy trauma has increased the incidence of traumatic hip dislocation and dislocation is often associated with fractures. However, a hip fracture-dislocation extending to the ipsilateral femoral trochanter is exceedingly rare and only a few cases have been described. We report a case of irreducible posterior dislocation of the hip with ipsilateral intertrochanteric fracture managed by open reduction and osteosynthesis. Case Report: A 50-year-old male presented with a history of fall from an electricity pole with pain in the left hip and an inability to bear weight on his left lower limb. Radiographs confirmed the presence of posterior dislocation of the left hip with comminuted intertrochanteric fracture on the same side. Conclusion: Posterior dislocation of the hip with same side inter trochanteric fracture is a rare traumatic entity, with only few case being reported. Literature does not provide any classification for such rare traumatic fracture dislocation. Management of such fracture requires early diagnosis and intervention which can result in good prognosis.

Common Peroneal Nerve Splitting in Proximal Fibular Osteochondroma: A Rare Presentation.

Introduction: Osteochondroma is the most common benign tumor of bone. Tumors are metaphyseal in origin and commonly involve distal femur, proximal tibia, and proximal fibula in the lower extremity. Osteochondroma located at proximal fibula can change the normal path of nerves and it may lead to the compression of vessels or peroneal nerve, leading to paralysis. Case Report: We are reporting a case of an 18-year-old female with proximal fibular osteochondroma causing splitting of common peroneal nerve without any neuropathy. Conclusion: We strive to make the surgeons aware that, when removing osteochondroma located at proximal fibula, care should be taken to identify the entire nerve at the site of lesion before the removal as a procedure done in a hurry in such a case can cause irreversible damage to the patient.
