Introduction: The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is a vital structure in knee biomechanics, and its avulsion fractures present a unique challenge. This prospective cohort study was conducted at Grant Government Medical College and JJ Hospital, Mumbai, aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) utilizing cancellous screws and ethibond suture augmentation for PCL avulsion fractures. PCL avulsion fractures often result from traumatic incidents, such as road traffic accidents, and are associated with complications if left untreated.

They probably are developmental malformations rather than true neoplasms and are thought to originate within the periosteum as small cartilaginous nodules. The lesions consist of a bony mass produced by progressive endochondral ossification of a growing cartilaginous cap.

Case Report: Here, we present a difficult case of a peri-implant femur shaft fracture in a 55-year-old male, with stuck short proximal femur nail (PFN) removal followed by long distal femur plating with bone grafting showing good fracture union at 1 year with satisfactory functional outcome.
Conclusion: Peri- implant femur fractures are quite rare and more commonly occur in elderly.
Introduction: Vascular injuries in orthopedic surgery are relatively rare but potentially limb and life threatening. They are most commonly encountered in knee and hip arthroplasty but also have been reported in trauma surgeries. Pertrochanteric fractures of proximal femur are among the most common fractures encountered in elderly osteoporotic patients.
