Study Design: Retrospective observational study.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the utility of cervical dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) in the assessment of cervical canal stenosis.
Overview Of Literature: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy has been intricately linked to both static and dynamic narrowing of the cervical spinal canal.
Background: Calcified lumbar disc herniations (CLDH) causing calcified ventral stenosis pose a therapeutic challenge to the treating surgeon due to their neural adhesions, location, and hardness.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed all the cases of CLDH/calcified ventral stenosis managed by transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy with a minimum follow-up of 24 months. The preoperative images were analyzed for the level, migration; and grade (Lee's migration zones), and location (Michigan State University classification).
Introduction: Neck of femur fractures is the most common fractures in elderly people as they present with osteoporosis. There is a higher chance of proximal femur fracture in a schizophrenic patient as there is a loss of bone mineral density due to a drug-induced increase in the level of prolactin and immobility. Patients with Parkinson's disease were at higher risk for the development of hip fractures due to gait disturbances and instability.

Intraoperatively, there could be occurrence of fracture of the femur, inadequate fit, and fill with cement less femoral component.It is found unilaterally in cases of osteonecrosis of femoral head, post- traumatic, and in sequelae of childhood septic arthritis.

Case Report: A 10-year-old female a case of HME presented with painless multiple swelling around knees, wrist, and painful varus deformity in the lower third of the right leg. The large exostosis of the right distal tibia was symptomatic and indenting the fibula which required excision along with the segment of the fibula of about 2.
