    (Sri Devaraj Urs Academy of Higher Education, 2024-01) Agrawal, A; Madhavan, P; Hariprasad, S.
    Managing an injured patient who is pregnant can be difficult in the management and investigation of the case especially when the patient presents atypically. We encountered a 25-year-old female patient who sustained a posterior dislocation of the right hip and was pregnant at 12 weeks gestation following a road traffic accident. The patient presented to OPD with an atypical attitude of limb i.e., both hip and knee in flexion without any internal rotation and adduction of the limb following which MRI was done which showed right hip posterior dislocation. Through an interdepartmental, skilful team approach the patient, after taking the obstetrician’s opinion and the patient under short GA, Closed reduction by Rochester method (longitudinal traction and rotation control) was done for the right hip joint without any complication. As pregnant females possess more risk and complication and more challenges are expected in management, Orthopaedic surgeons are well equipped to treat such patients to reduce patient morbidity and mortality resulting in better outcomes.

    Osteochondromas may present in form of multiple hereditary exostosis or solitary osteochondroma. They are derived from aberrant cartilage from the perichondral ring and are benign chondrogenic lesions. Typical presenting age between 10 years to 30 years. They develop as a painless mass and appear on the bone's surface. Osteochondromas frequently occur at the points where tendons insert; the knee (proximal tibia, distal femur), proximal femur, and proximal humerus are common sites. Typically, the patient complains of deformity and swelling or are asymptomatic. They may appear as a pedunculated mass or as a sessile mass. This typically appears as mushroom shaped.
