Seat belt syndrome happens when a car meets an accident and person sitting in the car with seat belt on gets abdominal injuries typically, seat belt mark with intestinal injuries and factures of ribs and lumber spine. The abdominal injuries are usually intestinal perforations. Doctor seeing the motor vehicle accident must keep in mind seat belt syndrome while examining. As the traffic rules are getting enforced strictly in developing countries we are seeing seat belt syndrome cases in these countries more and more. We presented here a case of seat belt syndrome in 35 years old women.

Introduction: Usually, cervical pedicle screw fixation has been considered too risky for neurovascular structures. The purpose of this case report is to present a young male patient who suffered a C4-C5 fracture after a motor vehicle accident treated with a 360⁰surgical approach without spinal instrumen-tation. Case report: A young male patient suffered a motor vehicle accident driving the vehicle without seat belt. Instantly after the accident he reports about severe neck pain, inability to move his left extremi-ties, difficulty moving his right extremities, burning pain. All patients had various degrees of cord injury, and they were classified according to the American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale and Denis classification. Results: We present this young patient, where the selected surgical approach without using spinal instrumentation resulted has favorable outcome. Conclusion: Surgical options regarding to cervical spine fractures include stabilization and decompres-sion with and without spinal instrumentation. Carefully selected cases may be treated safely without instrumentation avoiding potential complications of spinal instrumentation such pseudoarthrosis, in-strumentation failure, infection, etc.

Safety Seat

In a sample of children less than 4 years of age, treated in an emergency room after a motor vehicle accident, 22% were restrained in a child safety seat (improper and proper), 12% were restrained by a vehicle seat belt, and 70% were unrestrained. Trauma and injury patterns related to the various restraint use patterns are described. Most children in safety seats and seat-belted children, if injured, sustained minor contusions, abrasions, or lacerations. Injury among properly restrained children in safety seats was primarily the result of unavoidable mechanisms (eg, flying glass, intrusion). Improper use contributed to injury among safety-seat-restrained children, primarily by allowing the child to hit against the vehicle interior. Seat-belted children also were injured, primarily by hitting against the vehicle interior. Although some of the restrained children were seriously injured, in general, restrained children tended to sustain less serious and fewer injuries than the unrestrained children.

Tomography Scan

This case report describes a case of aortic injury with pseudo-aneurysm in a 3-year-old Saudi boy following a motor vehicle accident. The diagnosis was suspected on computed tomography scan, and emergency surgery was performed. A Dacron graft was inserted to repair the injured aorta. Postoperatively, absent femoral, and distal pulses were noted, and thromboembolectomy was performed with good outcome. We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because it raises awareness of aortic injury and rupture in pediatric patients with multi-organ trauma following motor vehicle accidents. A high index of suspicion and early intervention are essential in improving outcomes.

Here we report the case of a 20-year-old female restrained driver who presented to the emergency department (ED) after a motor vehicle accident. She sustained an isolated fracture of her left cuboid, consistent with a nutcracker cuboid fracture. A cuboid fracture is considered rare. It is even more uncommon for a cuboid fracture to occur in isolation, without other associated injuries to the foot. We discuss the mechanism, relevant anatomy, diagnosis, and principles of treatment of the nutcracker cuboid fracture.

This case report is the first documented case of a serious motor vehicle accident caused by a patient driving in a controlled ankle motion (CAM) walker boot. The real-life nature and severity of injury in this case supplements the existing experimental studies on the dangers of driving while immobilized in a CAM boot and is likely to resonate strongly with both patients and surgeons. With CAM boots used so commonly after lower limb surgery, this case not only has the potential to change practice as an educational tool for patients but also raises important medicolegal implications for orthopaedic surgeons.

<p class="abstract">Foreign body aspiration is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate attention and intervention. Foreign body aspiration in adults usually occurs during dental procedure or motor vehicle trauma. Classical symptoms include choking, cough, haemoptysis, hoarseness or stridor. This case report presents an incident of a foreign body lodged at the subglottic region in an adult wearing dental prosthesis; the main complaint was hoarseness post motor vehicle accident. High index of suspicion coupled with correct investigation will facilitate the diagnosis of a foreign body in the airway thus immediate intervention can be taken to prevent morbidity and mortality.</p>
