A 65-year-old female had a history of tuberculosis of the left greater trochanter 30 years ago. She underwent 6 months of chemotherapy after which the disease healed completely. Currently she presented to us with pain and swelling on the lateral aspect of left hip of 2-month duration. Clinical and radiological findings were suggestive of a recurrence. Biopsy was conclusive for tuberculosis. She was successfully treated with debridement and curettage with chemotherapy for 1 year. Recurrent tuberculosis of the greater trochanter is rare and should be aggressively treated.
<p class="abstract">Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumour. Commonly seen in the long bones of the lower extremity. Ilium is a rare site. We present a 16-year-old boy with swelling in the right groin for 8 months. After clinical and radiological evaluation, it was diagnosed as osteochondroma of right iliac wing. Patient underwent en-bloc excision of the lesion and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. Pelvic osteochondroma is a rare entity but not unusual. Extra periosteal en-bloc excision is the management of choice in patients with cosmetic deformity, neurovascular compression and malignant transformation with very low recurrence rate.</p>
<p class="abstract">Femur shaft fractures are the most common fractures requiring hospitalization in children. Management of these fractures mainly depend on the age of the child. Associated injuries, fracture pattern, weight of the child and overlying soft tissue condition also influence the management. Still, the definitive treatment remains controversial in children between 5-16 years. We present our experience in management of 5 year old boy with mid shaft femur fracture and its complications. In his paper we want to highlight the importance of sticking to the basic principles and the recommendations in the management of the paediatric femur shaft fractures.</p>
