    Injuries around the hip joint are one of the most common orthopedic injuries and these types of injuries are grossly debilitating until treated properly. Simultaneous occurrence of fracture of proximal femur with fracture of ipsilateral acetabulum or pelvis is termed as floating hip injury. These injuries are very rare, only to be found 1 in 10,000 as well as there is lack of literature support regarding proper treatment protocol. Here we are going to present a case of fracture of neck of left femur along with fracture of left acetabulum in a 45 years old male undergone road traffic accident.

    The painful osperoneum syndrome (POPS) results from a wide spectrum of conditions, including fractures, diastases, and other causes. POPS can result in tenosynovitis or discontinuity of the peroneus longus tendon with a clinical presentation of pain in the lateral aspect of the midfoot. We report a rare case of painful Osperoneum syndrome (POPS) of 52 year-old man who had suffered from chronic pain on lateral foot after varus ankle injury and been treated successfully with surgical excision of the Osperoneum and preserved eroneuslongus tendon at a same time

    Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a syndrome caused by compression of subclavian vessels with/without brachial plexus involvement as it travels through the thoracic outlet. Cervical ribs are congenital anomalies with an incidence of 0.05% to 3% . Usually, they aren’t relevant clinically but it may cause TOS due to compression of subclavian vessels and/or brachial plexus by the rib itself or a fibrous band that connects the cervical rib to the first rib. Arterial compression is rare. Here we report a rare case of Thoracic outlet syndrome because of cervical rib leading to gangrenous changes of digits in a 40-year female
