Introduction Osteoid osteomas are the most frequent true benign bone tumor in the adolescent age group and the third most prevalent benign bone tumor overall. This study was designed to assess the effectiveness of the procedure and correlate it with the analgesia offered because of the significant burden of this illness and new literature supporting the successful outcomes of image-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in osteoid osteoma. Methodology This hospital-based interventional trial was carried out in a tertiary care referral center.

Thus, the treatment of pelvic ring and acetabulum fractures is riddled with complexities and is considered among the most challenging surgeries for an orthopedic surgeon. When anterior access is necessary, such as in the anterior column, both columns, anterior column posterior hemitransverse, transverse, and T-type fractures, both the ilioinguinal and the anterior intrapelvic (AIP) or modified Rives-Stoppa methods are employed.

However, when they arise from unusual locations like intra-articular regions the diagnosis may be confusing thereby leading to delay in diagnosis and appropriate management. Here we present a case with an intra-articular osteoid osteoma of the hip involving the anterolateral quadrant of the femoral head.

Early diagnosis and treatment are of paramount importance to prevent complications. Here, we report a case of traumatic bilateral anterior hip dislocation following a high-velocity motor vehicle accident.

The aim of this study was to measure changes in sagittal and axial plane alignment following medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy [mHTO], using pre- and postoperative computed tomography [CT] scans, and correlate them with changes in coronal plane. The secondary objective was to correlate changes in functional outcomes with changes in alignment in each plane.
