Renal osteodystrophy is reflected as soon as the kidney function starts to worsen. The plethora
of skeletal changes seen in renal osteodystrophyis classified by the status of bone turnover. It is
a key cause of fractures in patients with chronic kidney disease. Upto 10% populace is affected
by chronic kidney disease. The incidence of fracture is directly related to stage of kidney disease.
This is consequently associated with decreased quality of life, economic burden and increased
mortality. Rarely the case reports and studies have focussed on fractures associated with
renal osteodystropy. So we present a rare case of spontaneous femur shaft and bilateral ulna
pathological fractures secondary to chronic kidney disease leading to disability in a young male.
The goal of this case report is to deal with the surgical and medical management of the condition,
early ambulation and good functional outcome of the patient.
 

Union rates of femur fractures deteriorate when the fracture is further distal than the isthmus
or is complicated with other risk factors like proximal third shaft fracture, HTN, DM, overweight
and obese, NSAIDs, smoking & alcohol consumption. All the treatment strategies, whether
exchange nailing or augmentative plating or open bone grafting which are presently employed,
have their own advantages as well as disadvantages. In order to overcome their individual
lacunae a combination modality approach may be helpful.

Introduction: Our aim is to assess the correlation of smartphone use addiction with Text neck syndrome
in high school going children in Vadodara. Mobile phone is a device which is used for voice and data
communication. Along with the basic voice function of a phone, current mobile phones may support many
additional services such as Text messaging, Email, gaming, camera, Whats app, Online classes. The neck or
cervical spine is a coordinated network of nerves, bones, joint, and muscles directed by the brain and the
spinal cord. Additionally, irritation along the nerve pathways can cause pain into the shoulder, arm and
hand. “Text neck” is the term used to describe the neck pain and damage sustained from looking down at
the cell phone, tablets or other wireless device too frequently and for too long
