Introduction: "Pelvic rib", "pelvic digit (finger)", or "eleventh digit (finger)" is a rare congenital anomaly, in which a finger-like bony structure is present in the soft tissue in the pelvic or abdomen (less common) area.
Case Presentation: This case report presents a symptomatic "pelvic digit" discovered in a patient referred to the radiology department after prolonged unilateral hip pain, especially during long walks. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of unilateral pelvic digit occurrence in our region. It is an extremely rare condition that is often discovered incidentally due to the lack of clinical symptoms.
Conclusion: To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the tenth reported case of symptomatic pelvic digit in the literature and four of them have required surgical intervention.

Article Synopsis
- The study conducted a scoping review of literature from the last decade on machine learning (ML) applications for female urinary incontinence (UI), identifying trends and methodologies used in research.
- Out of 798 papers reviewed, only 23 met the inclusion criteria, primarily utilizing logistic regression to predict factors like postpartum UI and outcomes after pelvic surgery.
- While the ML models showed promising predictive abilities (area under curve ranging from 0.56 to 0.95), issues such as lack of standardization and insufficient validation undermine their real-world applicability, highlighting the need for improvement in these areas for future studies.

The activities-specific balance confidence scale (ABC) assesses balance confidence during common activities. While low balance confidence can result in activity avoidance, excess confidence can increase fall risk. People with lower limb amputations can present with inconsistent gait, adversely affecting their balance confidence.

Background: Hair thread tourniquet syndrome occurs when tissue is strangulated by a hair thread. It occurs most commonly in the digits of infants and young children, but can also occur in the genitalia.
Case Report: A 13-year-old postmenarchal girl with several days of severe vulvar pain and swelling presented to the emergency department.

Klinik für Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie, Wiederherstellungs- und Handchirurgie, Bundeswehrzentralkrankenhaus Koblenz, Koblenz, Deutschland.
Background: Due to continuous improvements in treatment, more and more severely and seriously injured patients are surviving. The complexity of the injury patterns of these patients means that they are difficult to map in routine data.
Aim Of The Work: The aim of the data exploration was to identify ICD 10 diagnoses that show an association with an injury severity score (ISS) ≥ 16 and could therefore be used to operationalize severely injured patients in routine data.
