Introduction: A "double segmental" fracture is an injury pattern that has three fracture sites and four fracture segments in a single bone. It is extremely rare, with only three "Double segmental femoral fracture" and only four "double segmental tibia fracture" cases reported in the literature. These fractures are associated with difficulty in deciding the implant for fixation, segment reduction, maintenance of reduction, maintaining blood supply of segment during fixation, and the high risk of post-operative complications.

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluates the functional outcomes of treating intertrochanteric fractures of the femur using two surgical methods: dynamic hip screw (DHS) with a de-rotation screw and proximal femoral nail (PFN).
  • It involved 30 patients aged around 65, focusing on those with specific fracture types and recent injuries.
  • The results showed that PFN is superior to DHS in terms of blood loss, surgery duration, and early mobility, while both methods had similar impacts on hospitalization, fracture healing, and overall complications.

Acromioclavicular joint tuberculosis is an extremely rare presentation with only 16 cases reported so far and has a relatively high propensity to be misdiagnosed. India being a tuberculosis endemic region accounts for almost 27% of cases worldwide (global index of 2018 was 10 million). With a higher index of suspicion an earlier diagnosis can be made.

Bilateral asymmetric hip dislocations are rare injuries and associated vascular compromise is even rarer. We report a unique case of bilateral asymmetric hip dislocations with vascular compromise, due to mechanical arterial compression by the anteriorly dislocated femoral head on one side. Prompt closed reduction re-established the blood flow.
