A 22-year-old Malaysian male presented with a closed posterior dislocation of the right hip with femoral head fracture (Pipkin II) after an alleged motor vehicle accident (MVA). This type of injury may pose future complications, such as avascular necrosis, post-traumatic osteoarthritis, or heterotopic ossification to the hip joint, and later affect joint function. After an immediate closed reduction of the hip, the patient underwent Ganz Surgical dislocation of the hip - a surgical method used to aid the reconstruction of the bony defect of the femoral head.

Background: Managing complicated acetabular fractures involving the quadrilateral plate (QLP) can be challenging for surgeons, especially when complicated by comminution and osteoporosis. Traditional implants do not provide sufficient fixed strength or a proper match. The new-type pre-contoured infrapectineal buttress plates may have drawbacks, such as inaccurate fitting on the medial surface of QLP and an inability to apply reversed compression force to resist medial displacement of femoral head.

Introduction Femoral head fractures, specifically Pipkin Type I and Type II, are uncommon injuries often linked with posterior hip dislocations. Management strategies for these fractures range from conservative treatments to various surgical procedures, with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) being a notable option. The surgical approach for ORIF varies, and due to the rarity of the injury, a standardized management protocol is lacking.

Case: A patient presented with complete coracoclavicular ligament ossification after an unnoticed acromioclavicular joint Rockwood Type IV dislocation. He had full passive range of motion in the glenohumeral joint but was disabled by a loss of both active (80°) and passive (90°) abduction due to insufficient passive scapulo-thoracic motion. He was treated with an arthroscopic osteotomy of the coracoclavicular ligament ossification.

We report a case of posttraumatic compressive neuropathy of the deep motor branch of the ulnar nerve occurring in the setting of heterotopic ossification following a direct blow to the hypothenar eminence. Over several weeks, the patient developed ring and little finger claw deformities and atrophy of his first dorsal interosseous and adductor pollicis muscles with sparing of sensation. Electromyography and nerve conduction study localized the area of injury, and computed tomography confirmed the presence of heterotopic bone near the deep motor branch of the ulnar nerve.

Objective: Metabolic processes are intricately linked to the resolution of innate inflammation and tissue repair, two critical steps for treating post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). Based on lipolytic and immunoregulatory actions of norepinephrine, we hypothesized that intra-articular β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) stimulation would suppress PTOA-associated inflammation in the infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) and synovium.
Design: We used the βAR agonist isoproterenol to perturb intra-articular metabolism 3.
