The comprehensive biochemical examination of 20 patients with fractures of shin and thigh bones aged from 18 to 50 years was organized. The treatment consisted of skeletal traction meaning a lingering limitation of locomotive activity The blood sampled at 7th, 14th, 21th, 28th and 35th days after trauma. The blood plasma was analyzed to establish the indicators of protein and purine metabolism, lipoperoxidation processes and antiradical activity. The study established the catabolic direction of metabolism and the intensification of lipoperoxidation processes of the background of decreasing of antiradical activity. The research data can be recommended to apply in controlling the impact of forced limitation of locomotive activity on the course of post-trauma process.

Sternal fractures resulting from blunt chest trauma often present unique surgical challenges. While conservative management is common, cases with significant displacement, delayed union, or painful dyspnea may require surgical intervention to improve structural stability and relieve symptoms. Here, we report the case of a 46-year-old man who sustained a displaced sternal fracture in a motor vehicle accident.

Hypophosphatemic rickets is a rare bone disease characterized by short stature, bone deformities, impaired bone mineralization, and dental problems. Most commonly, hypophosphatemic rickets is caused by pathogenic variants in the X-chromosomal gene, but autosomal dominant and recessive forms also exist. We investigated a Finnish family in which the son (index, 29 yr) and mother (56 yr) had hypophosphatemia since childhood.

Background: Delirium and cognitive impairment are common in hip fracture populations and are associated with significant adverse patient outcomes. National hip fracture registries facilitate improvements in patient outcomes and care quality, such as reduced mortality and the development of specialist multidisciplinary services. However, there is substantial variation in the data collected and reported in relation to delirium and cognition, which impedes international comparison and may reduce quality of care.

Background: Blood transfusion holds a significant place in the practice of surgery, including orthopaedic surgeries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the intraoperative use of blood and blood products among orthopaedic patients operated at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital from January 2021 to December 2021, focusing on the demographics of patients, number and type of surgeries needing a blood transfusion, and the number of blood transfusions.
Methodology: A retrospective observational study was carried out at the operating theatre of a referral tertiary hospital using a designed proforma to extract data from the registers of operated orthopaedic patients.

Autosomal hypophosphatemic rickets though a rare genetic disorder can lead to significant discomfort to the patient resulting in clinical deterioration and a poor quality of life. We describe a case of a 33-year-old woman G2P1001 at 6 weeks of gestation with complaints of myalgia and bony pains. Keeping her history of bony pains and fractures in mind, she was further evaluated.
