Article Abstract
Introduction: Hydatid disease is uncommon in Humans. It rarely affects the bones and joints (0.5-4%). Frequent sites of bony involvement are vertebrae, pelvic bones, upper end of long bones e.g. humerus, femur and tibia.
Material And Methods: We report a case of 41-year old female with primary Hydatid cyst of the entire right femur. Patient complaint of severe pain and was non ambulatory since the last 2 months.
Results: Here, single staged Total Right Femur Replacement was done under General Anaesthesia. Patient was discharged after 6 days of hospital stay in a stable condition where physical rehabilitation was initiated after day one of the surgery, progressing to aided walking, standing and active lower limb exercises.
Conclusion: Involvement of the entire femur was a challenging case. There is no consensus/gold standard treatment of severe cases. Given the involvement of the entire Right Femur along with spillage in the neighbouring muscles, patient underwent Total Femur Replacement with Hip and Knee Replacement.

Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are commonly used to assess femoral and tibial torsion. While CT offers high spatial resolution, it involves ionizing radiation. MRI avoids radiation but requires multiple sequences and extended acquisition time.

Sheep have been widely used as a model for osteoporosis research. This study aimed to characterise changes in microstructure and composition in lumbar vertebrae L1-L7 and the proximal femur after implementation of a bone loss induction protocol (in this species). A sham control and experimental group (glucocorticoid-treated ovariectomized sheep) were used ( = 6/group), with a study duration up to the 24th postoperative week.

The aim of this study was a comparative analysis of three goose genotypes (Rypińska, Suwalska, Kartuska) after a four-year laying period at the National Research Institute of Animal Production, Waterfowl Genetic Resources Station in Dworzyska. It examined carcase composition as well as morphometric parameters of their digestive system and leg bones.

Arthroplasty in managing tumors of the extremities is a challenging surgery. Careful planning and the expertise of the surgical team are of utmost importance, especially when managing unpredictable intraoperative complications. In this study, we report on the surgical management of a pathological femoral neck fracture with multiple metastases with carcinoma of an unknown primary origin.

Background: Osteochondral defects of the knee are a frequent cause of pain that often require surgical intervention. Restorative procedures such as osteochondral autograft transplantation (OAT) and osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA) aim to replace cartilage lesions with healthy autologous tissue or cadaveric tissue from the distal femur, respectively. Osteochondral graft donor sites are selected to optimize donor-recipient site congruity by assessing factors such as surface topography, cartilage thickness, and contact pressures.
