Pelvic fractures, particularly acetabular fractures, pose major problems for individuals with advanced age due to comorbidities and poor bone quality. Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are a leading cause of high-energy injuries. This case report describes the treatment of an 80-year-old patient with hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, and morbid obesity who suffered an acetabular fracture after an RTA.

- Tuberculous dactylitis is a rare form of tuberculosis affecting bones, often misdiagnosed due to symptoms that mimic other conditions.
- A 15-year-old male experienced worsening pain and swelling in his left index finger over a year, leading to complications later identified as tuberculosis after an unexpected biopsy result.
- The patient improved significantly after surgery and antituberculosis treatment, emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis and intervention for better outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of a fully automated deep learning algorithm for analyzing sagittal balance in adult spinal deformity (ASD) using preoperative and postoperative radiographs.
- - The algorithm's measurements were compared to validated manual measurements, demonstrating strong consistency with intra-class correlation coefficients ranging from 0.71 to 0.99 for preoperative and 0.72 to 0.96 for postoperative assessments, with detection rates of 91.5% and 84%, respectively.
- - This research is significant as it shows the potential for implementing high-accuracy automated analyses in clinical settings, specifically for the challenging assessment of sagittal balance in patients with ASD.
Vasculitis (Wegeners Granulomatosis and Microscopic Polyangiitis) and Tuberculosis share many features including constitutional symptoms and respiratory tract involvement. The presence of kidney involvement with new onset azotaemia and active urine sediment support the diagnosis of vasculitis. We describe two cases that were diagnosed to be suffering from tuberculosis and placed on anti-tuberculosis therapy.
