Introduction: Aneurysmal Bone Cyst (ABC) is a benign, non neoplastic, expansile lesion of bone characterized by channels of blood and spaces separated by fibrous septae. ABC of femoral head is an extremely rare condition and is difficult to treat as the surgical approach is a dilemma .
Case Report: We hereby report a case of aneurysmal bone cyst in femoral head of a 19 year old female patient. To preserve the vascularity of the femoral head, we approached the lesion by ganz safe surgical dislocation of the affected femoral head, trapdoor procedure of femoral head followed by curettage and bone grafting . The patient was followed up for 6 months & at latest follow up, lesion has healed completely & patient is walking pain free .
Conclusion: In rare cases like ABC of femoral head, a trapdoor osteotomy of femoral head with bone grafting followed by stabilization of the bone graft and osteotomy gives excellent functional and radiological outcomes.

Background: Ankle and hindfoot fusion in the presence of large bony defects represents a challenging problem. The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes of patients who underwent ankle-hindfoot fusions with impaction bone grafting (IBG) with morselized femoral head allograft to fill large bony void defects.
Methods: This was a 3-center, retrospective review of a consecutive series of 49 patients undergoing ankle or hindfoot fusions with femoral head IBG for filling large bony defects.

Background: Gravid females with pelvic fractures are rarely encountered by the orthopaedic trauma surgeon. The initial injury can be detrimental to the pregnant patient, but an unnecessary "second hit" from surgery could also contribute to the outcome of the fetus. Understanding the surgical risks for this unique patient population requires knowledge about the negative effects of anesthesia, surgical exposures, and radiation.

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a prevalent orthopedic disorder characterized primarily by compromised blood supply. This vascular deficit results in cell apoptosis, trabecular bone loss, and structural collapse of the femoral head at late stage, significantly impairing joint function. While MRI is a highly effective tool for diagnosing ONFH in its early stages, challenges remain due to the limited availability and high cost of MRI, as well as the absence of routine MRI screening in asymptomatic patients.

The death of osteoblasts induced by glucocorticoid (GC)-mediated oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the development of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SIONFH). Improving bone formation driven by osteoblasts has shown promising outcomes in the prognosis of SIONFH. Isovitexin has demonstrated antioxidant properties, but its therapeutic effects on GC-induced oxidative stress and SIONFH remain unexplored.
