Introduction: Congenital radioulnar synostosis (CRUS) is a rare condition characterized by the fusion of the radius and ulna bones in the forearm, resulting in limited forearm rotational movement.
Case Report: We present a unique case of a 26-year-old male who suffered a forearm injury following a road traffic accident. Initial evaluation revealed a malformed proximal radius and distal radioulnar joint, and the presence of radioulnar synostosis, along with a fracture at the junction of the radius and ulna.
Myositis ossificans (MO) is a benign condition where bone forms within muscles due to increased activity of the periarticular tissues. Trauma is the most common cause. Nontraumatic MO is exceedingly rare.

We present the case of a 58-year-old woman with persistent pain and stiffness in her right elbow, ultimately diagnosed with synovial chondromatosis. Examination revealed joint effusion, tenderness, and restricted range of motion, with palpable loose bodies and ulnar nerve symptomatology.

This report presents a rare case where a broken cerclage wire exhibited intraarticular intracapsular migration, prompting open removal adjacent to the medial femoral condyle after unsuccessful attempts at arthroscopic extraction. A 50-year-old male with a history of patellar fracture fixation using cerclage and tension band wiring, presented with persistent knee pain and restricted motion.
