Introduction: Giant Cell Tumors (GCT) comprise about 4-5% of all primary bone tumors and about 20% of benign bone lesions. GCT commonly affects the ends of long bones. The lower end of the radius is the third common site to be affected. The distal radius plays a significant role...
Aim: Lisfranc fractures with cuneiform displacement are rare, commonly involving only a single cuneiform dislocation. Literature is limited in multi-cuneiform fracture dislocations. This case report elaborates on treatment of aLisfranc injury with concurrent dorsomedial and plant...
Early onset post discectomy tuberculosis spondylo-discitis at same operative level is an uncommon finding. We describe an unusual case of cervical spinal tuberculosis (spondylo-discitis) at the operated site (level C4-05) and review relevant literature. Even with present day avai...

Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (Ogilvie's syndrome) is a disorder characterized by acute dilatation of the colon in the absence of an anatomic lesion that obstructs the flow of intestinal contents. It is characterized by massive dilatation of the cecum and right colon on abdomi...
Avascular necrosis is a noteworthy reason of morbidity in SLE. There are many risk factors associated with osteonecrosis development but among them, corticosteroid treatment is the most common causes. Other factors, for example, fat embolism, thromboembolism, thrombophilia, hypof...
Simultaneous bilateral femoral neck fracture is a rare occurrence and provides interesting challenge in its management, especially in high-risk patients. We report a case of a 71 year-old gentleman, with multiple co-morbidities including renal osteodystrophy, who presented with b...
