Most of the options available to treat distal clavicle fractures involve hardware-related complications and high failure rates. This study aims to determine the outcome of distal clavicle fractures treated by a technique that combines biological reconstruction of the coracoclavicular ligament with semitendinosus autograft with reinforced fibrous tissue tapes. In this retrospective study, 8 patients with displaced distal third clavicle fracture cho's IIB or II C were operated on with the described surgical technique between 2018 and 2021.

Case Presentation: We report a unique fracture pattern consisting of combined greater and lesser tuberosity of the proximal humerus (PH) with intact humeral head and shaft in a 32-year-old female.
Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty after McMurray's osteotomy increases the operative difficulties and decreases the chances of better outcome. With the advent of modular femoral stems, minute changes can be done to individual joints, which allow intraoperative flexibility and better post-operative outcome. Thus, it should be considered as an option for complicated cases.
