Abstract
Neglected elbow dislocations pose a challenge to orthopedic surgeons, leading to contracture and functional limitations. This case involves a 51-year-old female patient experiencing pain and stiffness in her left elbow for the past 5 months due to neglected dislocation. Previous traditional treatment showed no improvement. Disuse atrophy was suspected, prompting open reduction, ligament reconstruction, and a 3-week temporary pinning. The intervention aimed to address the late-presenting unreduced elbow, utilizing autograft for ligament reconstruction. The subsequent supervised physiotherapy played a crucial role in restoring functional, stable, and painless elbow movement. This case underscores the importance of timely intervention in neglected elbow dislocations to prevent disability and enhance the quality of life for affected individuals.
Keywords: Neglected elbow dislocation, ligament reconstruction, autograft.

Abstract
Introduction: Risk stratification is used in total joint arthroplasty (TKA) to optimize outcomes and minimize complications. Modifiable risk factors such as surgical duration can be influenced by surgeons; however, under certain circumstances, prolonged surgery cannot be avoided. While previous studies have investigated the impact of surgical duration on post-operative complications, we felt that research was lacking in comparing both surgical duration and tourniquet time and the rate of infection following a TKA. Our learning objective was to investigate the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs) and periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) from prolonged (1) surgical duration or (2) tourniquet time during primary TKAs.
Materials and Methods: A multicenter health-care system database consisting of 15 hospitals was queried for all patients undergoing TKA between March 2020 and December 2020. Patient demographics, comorbidities, and infection data were collected. The surgical duration and tourniquet time were calculated for each patient undergoing a TKA and compared against the rate of PJI or SSI rate. PJI was defined based on the 2018 musculoskeletal infection society (MSIS) criteria, and superficial SSI was defined as any infection that did not meet MSIS criteria.
Results: Of the 2511 patients who underwent primary TKA, 19 were found to have an infection. Average surgical duration of 126.17 min for patients with an infection compared to 103.44 min without infection (P = 0.02). There was a significantly increased infection rate with increased surgical duration after univariate analysis. Patients who developed any infection had an average tourniquet time of 78.5 min, whereas those without infections had an average of 62.14 min (P = 0.004). Infection rate began to increase once the surgical duration reached 70 min; however, the infection rate increase per 10-min increments was not statistically significant (P = 0.09). The infection rate began to increase at 50 min of tourniquet time and significantly increased as tourniquet time increased (P = 0.004).
Conclusion: Surgical duration is associated with an increased risk of infection following TKA. Our study demonstrated tourniquet time had a greater impact on infection. There are many circumstances that lead to increased surgical and tourniquet duration, including increased body mass index, and severe deformity. Surgeons should consider deflating the tourniquet as soon as the critical parts of the surgery are complete to decrease the risk of post-operative infections.

Abstract
This case series presents five pediatric patients diagnosed with septic arthritis in Sanglah General Hospital from 2019 to 2021. The most common infecting organism was Staphylococcus aureus, comprising 66.7% of all infections. Other organisms described in literatures are Salmonella, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterobacter cloacae, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Antibiotic treatment should be started as soon as the diagnosis is suspected and modified once the organism isolated from the synovial fluid (SF) has been characterized. Unfortunately, in many cases, despite a high clinical suspicion of SA, the diagnosis cannot be confirmed because the SF is sterile on bacterial culture. This may lead to difficulties in patient management. The case series also analyzed the possible causes of negative culture results. The data showed three cases with no pathogen organism detected, which can be turned to false negative that ruled out the infection cause of the arthritis. The study suggests that in the future, other techniques might prove useful in increasing the sensitivity of the detection of bacterial infection, such as Polymerase chain reaction and detection of antibodies against the teichoic acid staphylococcal cell wall component. The detection and identification of Kingela kingae in synovial fluid have improved significantly since the development of PCR. The specificity of these assays relies on the ability of the PCR to generate only the expected amplification product. The duration of the laboratory to process is also a factor that affects the result. The study concludes that early diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial in achieving good functional outcomes in pediatric septic arthritis.

Abstract
Anemia has emerged as a significant healthcare crisis in India and often remains undiagnosed, with broad implications across all age groups. Iron deficiency remains the most important and correctable cause of anemia in our country. It often leads to significant morbidity during major operative procedures such as hip and knee arthroplasties, due to the substantial intraoperative bleeding associated with these procedures. To address this challenge and mitigate complications related to blood transfusions, peri-operative iron therapy, notably parenteral iron therapy, has become common practice. Nevertheless, there is a lack of consensus on managing peri-operative anemia and the role of ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) in pre-operative and post-operative orthopedic surgeries in India. A group of 14 experts, primarily orthopedic surgeons and an hematologist in India, convened an in-person expert group meeting. Their primary focus was on the approach of FCM in managing anemia in elective orthopedic surgeries within the diverse landscape of the Indian healthcare system. The consensus strongly advocated using FCM as a rapid and adequate source of iron replacement, especially in cases of significant pre-operative and post-operative anemia in patients undergoing elective orthopedic surgery.

Abstract
Introduction: Osteoporosis and diabetes are both common human diseases. The prevalence of both is increasing individually and in combination, due to better detection methods and changing definitions. Due to the different pathogenesis of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), one of which is a predominant autoimmune process while the other mainly a metabolic disorder, it is not surprising that there is no uniform entity of diabetic bone disease as such, although such term has been proposed in the past but never gained momentum. Paradoxically, an increased risk of osteoporotic fracture in T2DM has been repeatedly demonstrated and this was independent of bone mineral density (BMD). This association with fracture adds uncertainty around the actual association between diabetes mellitus and BMD.
This study aims to study the population of diabetes at tertiary care center when they are compared with non-diabetics in terms of BMD.
Aims of Study: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in T2DM and non-diabetic male patients using Dual Energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA scan).
Materials and Methods: Patients for the study included male patients between 40 and 60 years of age group attending outpatient department, health checkup, and admitted in the ward of Saifee Hospital, Department of Medicine. In 200 (100 type 2 diabetic males and 100 non-diabetic males), DEXA Scan was performed in the Department of Imaging, Saifee Hospital from June 2017 to April 2019.
Results: Type 2 diabetics were significantly associated with the presence of osteoporosis compared to non-diabetics (P = 0.001). Type 2 diabetics were significantly associated with body mass index (BMI) >25 (P = 0.0) and diabetics had a significantly higher BMI compared to non-diabetics (P = 0.0001). Type 2 diabetics above 50 years of age were significantly associated with osteoporosis (P = 0.000) and diabetics with osteoporosis were significantly older compared to diabetics without osteoporosis (P = 0.0018).
Conclusion: The study concluded that there is a correlation between T2DM, increasing age, glycemic control, increased BMI, increased calcium levels, and decreased BMD. Thus, physician treating diabetes must anticipate decreased BMD and rule out or correct all of these factors in patients of diabetes to prevent the complications of decreased BMD in these groups of patients. Therefore, early detection and treatment of osteoporosis/osteopenia by estimation of BMD in Type 2 diabetic males, strict diabetic control with target hemoglobin A1c <6.5, weight control with target BMI <25, supplementation with Vitamin D3 should be advocated.
Keywords: Diabetes, osteoporosis, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan.
