Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty after McMurray’s osteotomy increases the operative difficulties and decreases the chances of better outcome. With the advent of modular femoral stems, minute changes can be done to individual joints, which allow intraoperative flexibility and better post-operative outcome. Thus, it should be considered as an option for complicated cases. Case Report: We report a case of a 35-year-old female with chief complain of pain in the left hip while walking for the past 2 years. The patient also had difficulty in squatting and sitting cross legged. History of fracture in the left hip at 4 years of age for which McMurray’s osteotomy was done. The patient was operated with total hip arthroplasty using modular Sivash range of motion (S-ROM) stem. Conclusion: Modular S-ROM total hip arthroplasty is a good option for treatment in cases with previous osteotomy in femur. Keywords: McMurray’s osteotomy, total hip arthroplasty, Sivash range of motion.

<b>Introduction:</b> Giant groin hernia is an unusual disease nowadays and its management can be a challenge for surgeons. The application of botulinum toxin A as a preoperative therapy could decrease the thickness of the lateral wall muscles, increase their length and increase the volume of the abdominal cavity facilitating the surgical repair. Morbidity and mortality due to high intra-abdominal pressure would decrease, allowing a minimal tension closure after reduction of the herniated viscera. <br><b>Case report:</b> We present the repair of two cases of massive inguinal hernia with loss of domain using preoperative abdominal wall injection of botulinum toxin.
