A 3.5-year-old girl sustained compression injury leading to isolated bilateral diaphragmatic rupture with extensive herniation of abdominal viscera into the pleuropericardial cavities. Reduction of the hernia and repair of the defects were readily accomplished through a thoraco-abdominal approach with excellent outcome.

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.
EARLY SURGERY IN RARE KNEE HETEROTOPIC OSSIFICATION LEADS TO SUCCESSFUL FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME: A CASE REPORT.

Background: Heterotopic ossification is a common complication after joint replacement surgery, such as hip or knee arthroplasty. In the intensive care unit, it is most commonly associated with traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury. To prevent recurrence, surgical resection of heterotopic ossification is recommended once the ectopic bone has fully matured, which is estimated to occur after at least 12 months.

Background: The sacroiliac joints (SIJ) are specialized articulations in the pelvis that allow load transfer between the upper and lower body. Traumatic pelvic disruption often requires surgical fixation of at least one of these joints. Subsequent SIJ pain is associated with asymmetries in joint laxity or stiffness.

Article Synopsis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death, complicating the development of effective therapies due to the unique nature of each injury.
- Clinical questions regarding the benefits of measuring intracranial pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure, and surgical interventions remain largely unanswered.
- This study focused on acute subdural hematoma in a porcine model to better understand secondary brain injury and the effects of different injury patterns on outcomes, highlighting the need for comprehensive models to improve TBI treatment translation.
