TL;DR: The present study was carried out to evaluate the immediate and long term results of primary prosthesis in fresh and old femoral neck fractures and also in cases of failed Smith Peterson nailing, keeping in view the living conditions of an average Indian.
Abstract: Management of fracture of femoral neck still remains a major and difficult undertaking for an orthopaedic surgeon. Internal fixation is not always successful, because of avascular necrosis and nonunion. For any of these conditions, a second operation, is often required which some patients refuse and some may not be physically and psychologically fit for. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to use a method, that incurs the lowest mortality and morbidity and yet permits rapid mobilization, and return to previous activities and independence. The present study was carried out to evaluate the immediate and long term results of primary prosthesis in fresh and old femoral neck fractures and also in cases of failed Smith Peterson nailing, keeping in view the living conditions of an average Indian.

TL;DR: In developed countries neglected and unreduced hip dislocations presenting weeks or months after the injury are rarely seen and are usually as a result of missing the diagnosis due to associated severe skeletal injuries, however, they can often be seen in developing countries where patients are brought to hospital days later, after reported manipulations and message.
Abstract: Traumatic dislocation of hip in children is a relatively rare injury. Mason (1954) reviewing the literature found 88 cases of traumatic dislocation of hip in childhood reported in the period from 1922 to 1954. In developed countries neglected and unreduced hip dislocations presenting weeks or months after the injury are rarely seen and are usually as a result of missing the diagnosis due to associated severe skeletal injuries. However, they can often be seen in developing countries where patients are brought may days later, after reported manipulations and message. Gupta and Chaturvedi (1970) reported 32 cases of traumatic dislocation of hip in children in their 10 years series, out of which 12 cases were brought to hospital after 7 days and one after three and half months.

TL;DR: A case report of a benign chondroblastoma which arose from the diaphysis of the radius (a rare site) following fracture of both the forearm bones is presented.
Abstract: Jaffe and Liechtenstein in 1942 introduced the term “benign chondroblastomaâ€, although this tumour had been described earlier as calcifying giant cell tumour by Ewing (1923) and epiphyseal giant cell tumour by Codman (1931). Recognition of benign chondroblastoma is important because this is at times over diagnosed as chondrosarcoma (Phemister 1930) or as osteosarcoma (King 1931). We are presenting a case report of a benign chondroblastoma which arose from the diaphysis of the radius (a rare site) following fracture of both the forearm bones. Excision of the affected area of the radius and grafting the gap with fibula was successful.
