Introduction: Femoral fractures in adults are around 3-6% and 0.4% of all the fractures are usually distal femoral fractures, frequently consisting of high-energy injuries which are associated with compound trauma. Conventionally, femoral-tibial fusion remains one of the last treatment choices for the recurrent septic failure.

Introduction: The aim of the study was a case report of a right-sided recurrent giant cell tumor of the distal end of the femur.

Methodology: A case of a 25-year-old male patient with a history of recurrent giant cell tumor of the right distal femur who presented with chief complaints of pain over right distal femur and stiffness in the right knee for 2 years with restricted knee movement and is unable to walk. He was diagnosed with recurrent giant cell tumor of the right of the distal femur and was treated with wide excision with mega prosthesis reconstruction.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to study results of (made in India) hexapod external fixator (HEF) (deft fix)-assisted correction in a case of knee subluxation with malunited medial tibial condyle fracture.

Methodology: A subject with knee subluxation was selected for application of hexapod and Ilizarov ring fixator for staged correction of subluxation using deft fix-assisted correction.

Result: The study shows anatomical reduction of the subluxated knee using HEF with deft fix-assisted correction.

Introduction: Osteochondromas (OCEs) are benign chondrogenic lesions arising on the external surface of the bone with aberrant cartilage (exostosis) from the perichondral ring that may contain a marrow cavity also. In few cases, depending on the anatomical site affected, different degrees of edema, redness, paresthesia, or paresis can take place due to simple contact or friction. Furthermore, depending on their closeness to neurovascular structures, the procedure of excision becomes crucial to avoid recurrence.

Introduction: Anterior dislocation of the elbow is comparatively less frequent and is often associated with fractures of the distal humerus. Such injuries require surgical intervention at the earliest but with the surge of COVID-19 pandemic and different protocols being followed by surgeons, such cases are getting neglected. We present a 5-week-old neglected anterior dislocation of the right elbow joint with lateral condyle and medial epicondyle humerus fracture and a unique cantilever K-wiring technique used for its treatment.

Introduction: Vertebral hemangiomas although benign vascular lesions few of these may be ag-gressive causing osseous, extra-osseous and/or epidural expansions with recurrence rate as low as 3%. It should be considered as one of the important differentials while dealing with lytic lesions in the dorsal spine causing compressive myelopathy.

Case Report: A 16-year-old female came with an acute history of paraparesis with bladder in-volvement.

Introduction: An exostosis is a benign growth of bone, which when capped with cartilage is called osteochondroma, which can appear as solitary or multiple, mostly affecting the long bones, pelvis, and shoulder region. The prevalence of known solitary exostosis is 1-2% in the general population. They are slow growing lesions with rare malignant transformation.

Introduction: The present study was done to assess the functional outcome and complications of interlocking intramedullary (IM) radius ulna nailing to treat radio-ulna fractures in adults.

Methodology: Thirty adult patients with diaphyseal or segmental fractures of radius and ulna were included and treated with IM nailing. Grace and Eversmann rating system was used to assess functional evaluation and grip strength was measured using grasp dynamometer.
