Abstract

The distal radius fractures in geriatric population is one of common emergency admission in hospitals. In view of increasing life expectancy, requirement of continuation of work for having independent life, expectation of better outcome in active elderly population is changed. Non-operatively treated undisplaced and extra-articular fractures give good functional outcome. Intra-articular fractures or grossly displaced fractures in active geriatric patients are treated by open reduction and volar locking plate osteosynthesis. This article described factors to consider for treatment, methodology of treatment for various fracture patterns depending upon physical fitness of patient and radiological parameters.

Abstract

Paediatric femur shaft fractures are common bony injuries in children. Although there are set protocol for these fractures, sometimes a deviation from standard methods may lead to unpredicted consequences. We report a case of femoral shaft fracture in a 8 years old boy which was primarily treated with 3 cerclage wires. The fracture healed over next few months but the child presented with refracture at the same site 11 months post first surgery. There was vascular compromise at the cerclage site which caused the fracture. This was treated with plate fixation and fracture finally healed. In this case report we highlight how not following the basic principles of treatment and management can lead to further complications. We also bring to light a previously unreported complication of one such unfavoured and rather unconventional method of fixation.

Abstract

Genu valgum is one of the most common deformity of the knee in which the knee bend toward the midline with increase in the intermalleolar distance. It is often treated surgically with the osteotomy or by growth modulation techniques such as hemiepiphysiodesis using bone staplers. We, hereby, present a case of 16-year-old female with severe genu valgum deformity of bilateral lower limbs secondary to renal osteodystrophy causing pain in her bilateral lower limbs and inability to walk. She was treated by McEwan’s close wedge osteotomy using an innovative trigonometric-based technique for calculation of wedge size which resulted in accurate correction of deformity.
Keywords: Genu valgum, Renal osteodystrophy, Medial close wedge osteotomy, Trigonometric method of wedge calculation.

Abstract

Operative treatment of hip fractures in a patient with below-knee amputation on the same extremity poses a great challenge in terms of obtaining an optimal amount of traction for fracture reduction. The absence of the foot and the distal lower limb which makes the positioning difficult and other medical co-morbidities contribute to the same. We present a case report of a 66-year-old man with ipsilateral below-knee amputation who underwent surgical fixation of a comminuted 4-part right intertrochanteric femur fracture. We discuss the pros and cons of various methods and highlight a simple and effective technique of reverse boot traction for fracture reduction.

Keywords: Inter trochanteric fracture, 4-part fracture, amputation, diabetes mellitus, reverse boot.

Abstract

Background: High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a knee joint treatment modality for medial compartment arthritis, aiming to improve articular cartilage healing by shifting the lower limb’s axis. It is commonly used in younger patients with pain and active lifestyles, preventing advanced cartilage deterioration. Varus malalignment may often be accompanied with medial meniscus root tears. In recent years, meniscus root tears are often been repaired. However, the efficacy of medial meniscus repairs with high tibial in varus malalignment with medial meniscal tears remains a controversy.
Purpose: The purpose is to study the functional outcomes of concurrent medial meniscus root repair with HTO versus HTO alone.
Study design: Systematic review.
Methods: According to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines, we searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library databases for studies reporting the outcomes of medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) repair with HTO versus HTO alone and extracted data about characteristics of patients, clinical functional scores, and radiologic outcomes. One reviewer extracted data and 1 reviewer assessed the risk of bias and performed a synthesis of the evidence. Articles were eligible if they reported the functional outcome of HTO alone or HTO and MMPRT repair in patients of varus malalignment and medial meniscus root tears.
Results: 6 studies with 264 patients were identified. Data from these studies were segregated in HTO only and HTO with medial meniscus repair group. The findings of this systematic review suggest that the outcomes of HTO with MMPHRR and of only HTO are not statistically significant, meaning that doing valgus osteotomy only in patients with varus knee and MMPHRT can give good results regardless of not repairing the meniscus.
Conclusion: HTO with medial meniscus posterior horn root repair seems to have no significant improvement in the functional outcomes of the patient. However, long-term studies need to be performed.

Abstract

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) surgeries have been one of the most successful surgeries over the past half a decade. However a substantial proportion of patients undergoing TKA have the feeling of their replaced knee being an ‘unnatural one’. Also the conventional TKA requires the surgeon to maintain a coronal plane Hip Knee Angle (HKA) of 180 deg with the joint line being parallel to the horizontal and this requires a significant soft tissue release. Recently there are many different pre arthritic knee phenotypes been described with varying joint line obliquities and HKA angles. It is this difference of coronal HKA axis and joint line obliquity in the non replaced and the replaced knee that is believed to be the cause of dissatisfaction after TKA. Many coronal plane alignment philosophies have been reported to bridge this gap as mentioned earlier which replicate the pre arthritic knee anatomy with minimal soft tissue release. The only concern of the different philosophies is the long term implant survival when fixed in a non mechanically aligned position. However robotics have added a significant safety with calibrated execution to prevent outliers and improve implant survivorship. This is a brief review of the different coronal plane alignment philosophies in TKA.

Keywords: Coronal, alignment, dissatisfaction, HKA, joint line obliquity

Abstract

Limb reconstruction surgery has witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years. The hexapods have revolutionized limb reconstruction surgery, offering patients reduced postoperative discomfort, accelerated recovery times, and a quicker return to functional independence. This article aims to delve into the current aspects of limb reconstruction surgery, exploring the strategies employed in addressing these complex issues.

Abstract

The treatment of irreparable massive rotator cuff tear is a challenge for shoulder surgeons due to myriad of options presently available. The conservative methods are usually associated with suboptimal outcomes. The present review aims to discuss the current evidence for treating irreparable massive rotator cuff tears and propose an algorithm for the decision making.

Abstract

There has been an expansion of the arthroscopic shoulder metaverse with the inclusion of multiple extra-articular and periarticular procedures being done, especially in shoulder. Many shoulder surgeries which were previously done open or in a minimally invasive way have become amenable by arthroscopic and endoscopic extensions. The recent 5 years (2019–2023) research and developments have been incorporated in the following literature.
Keywords: Arthroscopic assisted shoulder surgeries, Shoulder endoscopy.
