<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-IN">We present a case of fracture intra capsular neck of femur in a young adult osteopenic patient, who had a nonunion and early signs of avascular necrosis even after the initial surgical intervention. Teriparatide was administered for two monthly doses after diagnosis of nonunion and avascular necrosis of femoral neck. 90% successful union was achieved in 2 months without further surgical intervention, and no adverse events related to the use of teriparatide were observed. Our case report shows that teriparatide can be an alternative to surgical intervention in nonunion of ICNF with early signs of avascular necrosis.</span></p>

Introduction: In contrast to adults, fractures of the neck of femur in children are relatively rare. The commonly described mechanism of injury is high energy trauma. Treatment options are almost always surgical. Prognosis, which entails relatively high rates of complications, varies with specific anatomic location, time to surgery, and reduction quality. Case Report: We describe two cases of 10- and 12-year-old girls who suffered a fracture of the neck of the femur, Delbet Type II and Type III, respectively, due to a suspected hyper-abduction injury while sliding on a water slide. Both patients were treated surgically, with the younger one developing signs of femoral head avascular necrosis a year postoperatively. Conclusion: Children with pain and an inability to bear weight after water sliding together with an adult companion at their backs should raise suspicion among medical staff of a femoral neck fracture. Prompt pediatric orthopedic consultation and treatment are needed in case of fracture diagnosis to reduce the risk of complications. Keywords: Avascular necrosis, child, femoral neck fracture.

Odontogenic phlegmon of the mouth floor—Ludwig's angina (phlegmonae fundi cavi oris seu angina Ludovici)—is a rare, life-threatening, local complication in most cases of odontogenic inflammation. This study presents the case of a patient treated in the Department of Maxillofacial and Plastic Surgery of the University Hospital in Białystok due to phlegmon of the mouth floor resulting from odontogenic inflammation with a dynamic course. Quick diagnostics, surgical intervention as well as antibiotic therapy contributed to its efficient and successful treatment.

Introduction. Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is an intractable disease that causes progressive femoral head collapse, severe pain, and gait disturbance. We report a case of avascular necrosis of the femoral head following an occult femoral neck stress fracture, which shows that early diagnosis and treatment are very important. Case report. A 55-year-old woman presented to our department with a chief complaint of low back pain that radiated into the left anterolateral thigh for 2 months Her left anterolateral thigh became progressively more painful over a period of about 2 weeks. No abnormal findings indicative of ONFH or an occult fracture of the femoral neck were detected by X-ray or computed tomography (CT), but an occult insufficiency fracture of the left femoral neck was identified on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The diagnosis of femoral neck stress fracture was delayed, resulting in femoral head necrosis. The fracture was treated with total hip arthroplasty and the resected femoral head was subjected to histopathology. Based on the histopathological findings, the final diagnosis of this case was ONFH with an occult fracture of the left femoral neck. Clinical symptoms were relieved postoperatively. Conclusion. In patients presenting with a suspected stress fracture of the femoral neck, early MRI examination is recommended to avoid femoral head necrosis due to a delayed diagnosis.

Herniation Pits

Abstract Herniation pits are small benign oval lesions that were reported to be always lying within the super-lateral femoral neck, and were first described in 1982 by Michael J. Pitt. They are usually a unilateral incidental finding along with asymptomatic course. It was widely believed that herniation pits are a result of invagination of the overlying synovium into small cortical defects in the femoral neck. In our case; the mentioned lesions were found atypically bilaterally at the inferomedial aspect of the neck of femur of a 7-year old child. Radiological scans were efficient to obtain an adequate diagnosis whereas conservative management proved to be sufficient dealing with the lesions. Synovial pits may have atypical clinical and radiological course, and this can raise concerns especially with symptomatic hip that may encourage surgical interventions. However, due to benign course of these lesions, we do not recommend any surgical intervention for such lesions.
