In developing nations, patients often rely on traditional bone setters, leading to delayed diagnosis and increased complications. Adult hip dislocations carry a higher risk of avascular necrosis and require complex treatments.

Background: Post-traumatic central slip injuries, resulting in boutonniere deformity, are a complex issue that can significantly impact hand function and quality of life. The deformity should be easily reducible in the acute phase, but if left untreated, it shortens the oblique retinacular ligament, leading to chronic contracture. This is a challenging issue in hand surgery, as chronic central slip defects cannot be sutured like other tendon.

Introduction: Trauma to the extremities is a common major health problem that requires special attention because it can have a dangerous impact on both the viability of the limb and the patient's life. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an alternative therapy hypothesized to improve the prognosis in lower extremity trauma.

Case Presentation: We present a series of 7 cases of lower extremity trauma treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy: soft tissue loss, neglected chronic burn injury, high-voltage electrical burn, gas gangrene, crush injury, chemical burn, and excoriation with skin loss.

Introduction: Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury (IRI) is a complication following the reperfusion of ischemic tissues; it requires immediate treatment, as it can lead to severe infection and tissue death. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the ability of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to treat SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) caused by IRI and to provide long-term functional assessment for a period of up to 5 years.

Case Presentation: Two cases of avulsions of the hand at the levels of the wrist joint and the medial third forearm, severed by machetes.
