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.

Introduction: The humerus fractures can present as isolated or associated with other injuries and these fractures can be associated with both primary and secondary iatrogenic or traumatic neurovascular injuries. The timely management of these injuries helps in preventing catastrophic consequences.

Case Presentation: Two cases of humerus fractures were presented with brachial artery thrombosis.

Introduction: Unilateral isolated ulna fracture secondary to trauma are common but the bilateral nightstick fractures are quite rare in the clinical scenario. These are managed conservatively or surgically depending upon the degree of displacement, location of the fracture, fracture pattern and associated injury to other bones. Proper management of these fractures helps in getting a better outcome.

Introduction: Osteoid osteoma is a benign tumor of bones involving mainly the tubular bones and rarely axial skeletons. The patient mainly complains of night pain in the affected region or the joint nearby. Pain always subsides with analgesics and gradually increased over the period of time.

Introduction: Primary total hip replacement in hypo plastic proximal femur is difficult due to the presence of a small canal, soft- tissue contracture, fragility of bone, and poor femoral cement mantle when used. 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.

Introduction: Hoffa is a coronal fracture of the femoral condyle. It is an uncommon injury easily missed on X-rays, which later presents as a non-union. Computed tomography (CT) scan knee helps in diagnosing undisplaced fractures and planning the management.

Introduction: Paget disease of bone is a chronic progressive disease of the bone of uncertain etiology, characterized initially by an increase in bone resorption, followed by a disorganized and excessive formation of bone, leading to pain, fractures, and deformities. It can manifest as a monostotic or polyostotic disease. Pathological fracture secondary to Paget's disease requires surgical management.

Introduction: Synovial chondromatosis is a rare, benign disorder of the synovium, which leads to loose body formation due to metaplastic transformation. It presents as multiple cartilaginous bodies in the synovial joints, bursae and in tendon sheaths. The diagnosis often delayed in hip involvement due to insidious onset of symptoms.

Background: Fractures of the proximal humerus represent approximately 4% of all fractures and 26% of humerus fractures. Proper reduction, stable internal fixation and early initiation of physiotherapy help to achieve a good functional outcome. Aim of this study was to evaluate varus fixation/malunion of proximal humerus fractures and its relation to functional outcome.

Introduction: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a non-inflammatory disease, which causes the ossification of spinal longitudinal ligaments and enthesis leads to stiffness in the affected segment of the spine and neurological deficit due to compression of spinal cord or nerve roots by osteophytes.

Case Presentation: We present three cases of DISH, presented with cervical myelopathy, lumbar spondylolisthesis, and dysphagia. All three patients had neurodeficit and radiological examination showed cord compression, canal stenosis, listhesis, and contiguous ossification in the spine with normal sacroiliac joints.

Introduction: Hereditary multiple exostosis (HME) is an autosomal dominant disorder affecting the skeletal system, which is characterized by multiple osteochondromas in bones arising from osteochondral ossification and leading to skeletal deformities, short stature, soft tissue, and neurovascular compressive symptoms.

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.

Introduction: Osteochondroma is the group of benign bone tumours, which are composed of spongy bone covered by a cartilaginous cap. Patients with distal ulnar osteochondromas frequently cause forearm deformities with relative ulnar shortening, wrist joint deviation, and varus bowing. Surgical ulnar lengthening is necessary to restore the carpal balance.

Introduction: Osteoarticular tuberculosis (TB) constitutes 1-3 % of cases and about 10% of osteoarticular TB affects the foot and ankle. In foot, TB calcaneus is the most commonly affected bone.

Introduction: A brown tumour is benign bony lesion caused by localized, rapid osteoclastic turnover, resulting from hyperparathyroidism. In this report, we present a case of 25-year-old woman with multiple swelling and bone pain. Plain radiographs of the affected bones revealed multiple erosive bone tumours, which were diagnosed as brown tumours associated with primary hyperparathyroidism.
