Purpose The objective of this study was to evaluate the compatibility of the medial femoral condyle (MFC) dimensions in the Indian population with the standard femoral components of three commercially available unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) implants. Methods This analytical study utilized CT morphometric data from 100 consecutive non-arthritic adult knees. MFC dimensions were measured to assess their compatibility with UKA prostheses.

Introduction: Neurogenic Heterotopic ossification (NHO) is a potential sequalae and a detrimental complication following neurological insult. It is characterized by formation of localized gradually progressive, peri-articular lamellar bone formation in extra-skeletal tissues. We would like to report a rare case of heterotopic ossification involving all 4 limbs, in which we tried to restore joint mobility to improve his functional status so that he could perform his daily tasks.

Case Report: We describe a rare case scenario wherein an orthopedic surgeon sustained a metacarpal shaft fracture while gripping the shoe and engaging in a tussle with the groom's friends. Despite feeling a sudden snap and experiencing pain, the surgeon held onto the shoe.
Introduction: Hardware breakage during surgery is a known risk that may result in serious complications. Drill bits and guide wires are particularly prone to breakage, and if not promptly recognized and removed, can cause damage to intrapelvic structures, or may lead to hip arthritis later. Herein, we present two cases in which broken guide wire fragments were safely retrieved through the same incision, resulting in good outcomes and reduced morbidity.

However, intraprosthetic dislocation (IPD), a rare complication where the femoral head separates from the polyethylene (PE) liner, remains a potential complication.
Case Report: A 67-year-old female presented with a transcervical neck of femur fracture.
We present a rare case of femoral head indentation fracture without associated hip dislocation in an elderly female secondary to a low-energy trauma. She was managed with primary total hip arthroplasty and achieved an excellent functional outcome. We have proposed the mechanism of injury and discussed shortcomings in the present classification systems.

As a result, polymers of homogentisic acid get deposited in excessive amounts in the connective tissues, leading to brownish-black pigmentation termed as ochronosis. As the disease progresses, chronic inflammation results in arthritis of large weight-bearing joints.

In addition, many patients with PHP exhibit a distinctive constellation of developmental and skeletal defects.
Case Report: An 11-year-old girl was brought to emergency pediatric department for the assessment of fever with generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS) with inability to walk.
Introduction: Tricortical iliac bone is the gold standard as an autograft for the reconstruction of the anterior column in tuberculosis (TB) of the thoracic spine. However, the quantity of graft needed is significant. It creates a considerable defect in the pelvic bone, causing graft site complications, including pain, pelvic instability, fractured ilium, herniated muscle, or abdominal contents.
