Bilateral avascular necrosis leading to hip fracture in pregnancy: A case report.

Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip, a rare cause of pelvic pain in the third trimester of pregnancy, often presents with nonspecific symptoms that resemble common musculoskeletal conditions. This ambiguity, coupled with concerns about the safety of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during pregnancy, can hinder timely diagnosis. We report a unique case of a 32-year-old primigravida diagnosed with a hip fracture and bilateral AVN of the femoral head in the immediate postpartum period, a complication seemingly not previously documented in pregnant patients.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study of a 41-year-old woman revealed her wrist pain worsened over time, with imaging showing significant bone collapse and complications like secondary osteoarthritis, leading to a diagnosis of Kienbock's disease.
- * The patient underwent a proximal row carpectomy (PRC), which significantly relieved her pain and improved wrist function, highlighting the necessity for precise diagnosis and tailored treatments for this uncommon disease.
A 62-year-old woman with a history of moderate myopia, long-standing open-angle glaucoma (OAG), and Fuchs dystrophy in both eyes was referred for consultative care. She had prior trabeculectomy in 1984 and 1992 in the left and right eyes, respectively. She is 3 months post-Descemet-stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) in the left eye, now referred with uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) despite maximum tolerated medical therapy.
