We report a case of bilateral iliopsoas hematomas that occurred during postoperative therapy after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). An 81-year-old woman receiving anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapies under sedation after CABG developed sudden anemia and went into shock. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a right retroperitoneal hematoma. She improved gradually with conservative treatment. Many patients with an iliopsoas hematoma complain of low-abdominal pain or femoral neuropathy, but such local signs may be absent under sedation. In anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapies under sedation, when the cause of anemia and shock is not clear, we should suspect peritoneal hematoma and examine the peritoneal space.

Iliopsoas abscesses are a rare complication of appendicitis and are associated with high morbidity and mortality without appropriate intervention. Current literature provides sufficient evidence for managing psoas abscesses via antimicrobial therapy, CT-guided percutaneous drainage, and laparoscopic or open drainage as primary approaches. However, there is insufficient data in the current literature for assessing improved patient outcomes with robotically assisted laparoscopic drainage as an approach to treatment.

High-altitude landing maneuvers can pose a significant injury risk, particularly when performed with different landing techniques. This study aims to compare the biomechanical parameters and injury risks associated with two landing positions-staggered foot landing and simultaneous bilateral landing-using Xsens inertial units and electromyography (EMG) sensors. A total of 26 university students (13 males, 13 females) participated in this study.

Article Synopsis
- - Iliopsoas abscess is a rare condition typically caused by infections spreading from nearby structures, presenting symptoms like fever, back pain, and leg weakness; it requires quick medical attention to prevent sepsis.
- - A 65-year-old male patient experienced worsening symptoms, including fever and delirium, and was found to have bilateral iliopsoas abscesses and infection linked to vegetation on the aortic valve.
- - After treatment involving antibiotics and surgical drainage, the patient's condition improved, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and intervention to enhance recovery outcomes.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze and compare gait patterns and deviations at long-term follow-up in children who received medial open reduction (MOR) before 18 months for unilateral or bilateral hip developmental dysplasia (DDH).
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on children who underwent MOR. The study population was divided into two groups: the unilateral group, including unilateral (five children with unilateral) and bilateral (five children with bilateral DDH).
