INTRODUCTION: Osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disorder characterized by increased bone density. This condition is clinically manifested with a brittle intramedullary structure and reduced bone toughness, increasing the risk of fracture. A limited case has been reported on the management of physeal fracture in patients with osteopetrosis. The objective of this study is to report a rare osteopetrosis patient who sustains Salter-Harris II at the distal tibia with its long-term follow-up along with its literature review...

INTRODUCTION: Sphenoid sinuses, air-filled cavities in the sphenoid bone, develop between the 3rd and 4th year and mature by 12 to 16 years. Understanding their anatomy is vital for safe transsphenoidal surgeries because of nearby vital structures. They exhibit variable pneumatization and often have an intersinus septum. This case emphasizes the importance of understanding sphenoid sinus anatomy, particularly in the context of transsphenoidal surgeries. It also introduces a novel case involving a congenital roof defect, previously unreported in medical literature...

INTRODUCTION: Bone is considered a tissue with good healing properties, and many bone defects can heal spontaneously under appropriate conditions. Extreme bone loss can hinder remodeling and regenerative processes, leading to bone nonunion. This condition negatively impacts the patient's quality of life with a severe socioeconomic burden. Many treatment options have been proposed, but none can be defined as a gold standard, mainly due to the variety of clinical presentation, bone loss, and quality...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Supracondylar humeral fractures in children are the most common fractures of the elbow accounting for 16 % of all pediatric fractures. The treatment depends on age, the degree of displacement, and the presence of additional injuries. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A case reports a 10-year-old girl with a Gartland type III supracondylar humeral fracture accompanied by anterior interosseous nerve neurapraxia preoperatively.
