Traumatic bilateral posterior dislocation of the hip is a rare injury, usually sustained in automobile accidents or less commonly in automobile-pedestrian accidents. An unusual mechanism of such an injury is reported in the setting of an agricultural accident: a heavy load fell on the pelvis of a farmer, while he was bending forward. This case highlights the importance of following health and safety guidelines at work, and above all common sense when working in hazardous situations.

Introduction And Importance: Grisel syndrome (GS) is a rare but potentially lethal condition characterized by non-traumatic atlantoaxial subluxation primarily affecting pediatric population following inflammatory condition of head and neck. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is crucial for better management of symptoms and better outcomes.
Case Presentation: 7-years-old child present with torticollis, sudden onset progressive neck pain, restricted range of motion and bilateral lymphadenopathy after upper respiratory tract infection (URTI).

Lumbar spondylolysis of a single lumbar vertebra with a fracture of the pedicle on the opposite side, as well as fractures of both pedicles and bilateral spondylolysis, have been extensively reported in the literature. These cases are commonly linked to factors such as trauma, sports activities, and spinal surgeries. We report a unique case of a unilateral lumbar spondylolysis with a fracture on the opposite side including the pedicle and lamina.

Introduction: Individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) often walk with a less dynamic vertical ground reaction force (vGRF), exemplified by a reduced first peak vGRF and elevated midstance vGRF compared to uninjured controls. However, the mechanism by which altered limb loading affects actual tibial plateau contact forces during walking remains unclear.
Methods: Our purpose was to use musculoskeletal simulation to evaluate the effects of first peak vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) biofeedback on bilateral tibiofemoral contact forces relevant to the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (OA) in 20 individuals with ACLR.

The prevalence of oromaxillofacial fracture in pediatric patients is comparatively less than in adults, which could be due to several inconclusive factors, such as infrequent exposure to high-contact sports games, rash driving of vehicles and motorbikes, alcohol consumption, and fist fights for personal reasons under the influence of alcohol. More importantly, most of the time, children are under the care of their parents till they reach an age of maturity. One more thing that everyone believes even today is the elasticity nature of their bones as well as their body weight during their growing stage.

Introduction: The occurrence of non-traumatic bilateral femoral neck fractures is exceedingly rare, and their manifestation subsequent to an epileptic attack is an uncommon entity with very few cases reported globally.
Case Report: We present the positive outcome of a 68-year-old man who underwent staged bilateral constrained total hip arthroplasty following a fracture resulting from a generalized seizure. This unconventional decision was justified based on several factors, including fracture pattern, bone quality, seizure history, and advanced tribology.
