Purpose Roof arc angle (RAA) is determined by measuring angle between a vertical line drawn from center of the acetabulum towards the acetabular dome and a second line drawn from center of acetabulum to the fracture through the acetabulum. Joel and Matta demonstrated that when roof arc angle was less than 45° on Pelvic AP and Judet's views, the fra...

Abstract Backgroud Optimal placement of the components and achieving a neutral mechanical axis are the main goals of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Different computerised navigation systems are presently used for these purposes. This aim of this study was to compare the pinless navigation (PNA) TKA performed using iAssist with the conventional ins...

Background: This study was done to study the anthropometry of nonarthritic Asian knees; to determine the differences in morphology between knees of different ethnicities and to compare the knee anthropometry values with sizes of available knee implants. Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging scans of 100 nonarthritic Indian knees were analyzed. Ant...

p class="abstract"> Background: There are many studies to show comparative cartilage wear of medial and lateral compartment of knee. However, there are no studies in Indians that compare relative cartilage loss between femur and tibia. Methods: 44 patients with osteoarthritic knee at our center were posted for operative intervention in the form of...

Introduction-Treatment of distal end clavicle fractures continues to be a challenge due to is high

Introduction: Fractures of distal end radius continues to leave orthopaedic surgeons with

Giant cell tumor or Osteoclastoma is a locally aggressive benign tumor accounting for 3%-5% of all the primary bone tumors. This tumoruslually affects distal femur, proximal tibia or distal radius. Case-A 32 year old female presented to the OPD with gradually increasing swelling at distal end of ulna. After through clinico-radiological examination,...

This study demonstrates that, pinless navigation does not significantly improve the mechanical axis alignment of the lower limb (HKA angle) and accuracy of component positioning as compared to CIN group. Also it doesn’t statistically reduce the number of outliers as compared to CIN group. The short term functional outcome is comparable between the...

Pseudotumors are not uncommon complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and may occur due to differences in bearing surfaces of the head and the liner ranging from soft to hard articulation. The most common causes of pseudotumors are foreign-body reaction, hypersensitivity and wear debris. The spectrum of pseudotumor presentation following T...

Background: The incidence of unstable intertrochanteric fracture in elderly is rising because of increased age and with low bone mineral density. The presence of osteoporosis in intertrochanteric fractures is important because fixation of the proximal fragment depends entirely on the quality of cancellous bone present. The surgical stabilization of...

Background: Proximal humeral fractures now account for 4 to 5% of all fractures. They are the second most common fractures of upper-extremity. They are also the third most common fracture after fractures around the hip joint and fractures of distal radial, in patients who are older than sixty-five years of age. This frequency increases in relation...

Introduction: Proximal humerus fractures are third most common fractures with lack of proper consensus for treatment, especially in three-and four-part fractures. With the advent of Multiloc technique, the advantages of nailing can be successfully applied to the proximal humerus fractures. Aim: To assess the functional and radiological outcome in t...

Introduction: Closed reduction of supracondylar humerus fractures with K-wires has become the standard line of management with different opinions regarding the technique that is utilized. Aim: To compare the functional and radiological outcomes of lateral and cross pinning technique in supracondylar fractures of humerus in children. Materials a...

Introduction: Treatment of proximal humerus fractures always holds a dilemma for the treating surgeon.

p>Introduction- The two most commonly used modalities of internal fixation in fracture shaft of humerus are Plate osteosynthesis and Intramedullary nailing. The present study aims to analyze and compare both the techniques in terms of functional and radiological outcome. Material and Methods- 43 patients with diaphyseal fracture humerus were treate...

Introduction- Fractures of the distal end humerus possess a challenge owing to unique anatomical features and dearth for its approach. Pre-countoured locking compression plates have more benefits than the conventional plating systems. The aim of this study was to determine the functional outcome of Extra-articular distal Locking compression plate i...

Introduction-LCP has revolutionized the treatment of metaphyseal fractures by overcoming the few drawbacks of conventional plating system. It offers the possibility of inserting conventional and locking head screws into the specially designed combination holes. We aimed to study the nature of fracture union in fractures treated with the LCP and to...

Introduction-Treatment of Unstable Intertrochanteric fractures by Dynamic hip screws is a gold standard followed now. The aim of the present study was to analyze the efficacy, benefits and overall outcome of such fractures treated with DHS. Materials and Methods-30 fractures with unstable intertrochanteric fractures were treated between February 20...

Background: Management of peritrochanteric fractures in elderly osteoporotic requires stable fixation with early mobilisation as elderly patients suffer high complication rate due to associated co-morbidities and recumbency. PFNAII is a relatively newer implant with the biomechanical advantage of helical blade providing bone compaction and better a...

Introduction-Ankle fractures are the most common type of fractures treated by orthopaedic surgeons worldwide accounting for around 10% of all the fractures. better understanding of the biomechanics of the ankle, improvements in fixation techniques and findings of outcome studies performed worldwide, there has been a gradual evolution in the effecti...

Introduction: Peritrochanteric fractures comprise of fractures of trochanter, subtrochanteric region and basi-cervical fractures and are the commonest fractures encountered. Patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures need immediate mobilization to avoid serious complications. Material and Methods: 43 patients with unstable intertrochanteric...

Introduction: Ankle fractures are one of the commonest occurring injuries which if not adequately treated can lead to severe comorbidities. Various treatment options have been developed since decades for treating these fractures. The study was undertaken to assess the functional and clinic radiological outcome of tension band wiring in medial malle...

Introduction: Unstable intertrochanteric fractures are one of the challenging fractures to deal with. Intramedullary implants have biomechanical advantages over extramedullary ones thus avoiding adverse complications. The aim of this study was to assess the functional outcome of InterTan nailing using Kyle's criteria. Material and Methods: 38 patie...
